Talk:Dannel Malloy

message: No other regional governor that I could find has their approval rating listed in their opening paragraph, and it seemed unnecessary/quickly outdated information. --47.16.84.230 (talk) 00:40, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poll number  

message: I am looking for the towns he won vs the towns he lost.  Malloy lost to Tom Foley bad in most small towns (both times) yet that factoid has been edited out here.  How many were there again?  In the entry for the 2014 race, that number too has been taken out -- probably by the Malloy campaign.  Now that the race is over, can we be more objective?  --68.118.188.188 (talk) 14:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Towns he lost Vs Won

message: I'm sure staffers for Malloy will complain, but it is a fact that Malloy has pledge to sign a bill giving driving licenses to illegal immigrants.  For those of us foolish enough to have served in the military, handing out licenses to people who are deliberately violating American laws is lunacy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.97.69.229 (talk) 17:38, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I took down most of the language that made the article read like an advertisement, such as the in-article links to Malloy's campaign page and the frequent mentions of  "a 2 to 1 margin," "the loser," or "opponent." I added the actual endorsement vote results, and in many instances, replaced language--such as "the loser"--that referred to Malloy's opponent, Ned Lamont, with Lamont's name. Also, true to my Wikipedia ID, I corrected several grammatical errors. I will watch the article and hope we can remove the tags shortly. J1.grammar natz (talk) 02:39, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This page is written like a political ad... 

message: I put them right under a similar (but positive) statement of statistics with a similar format. Might want to keep an eye on it in case a campaign staffer decides to whitewash this page again.71.232.109.168 (talk) 23:38, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added the job statistics facts 

message: I added the usual candidate links and usual section names, but that was reverted by SoGr82CU2. I've re-added the links, but left the format structure as is because I really don't want to have to add yet another article to my watch list, and this seems to be a contentious group of people. You may want to look at the article of the Republican nominee for formatting ideas. Flatterworld (talk) 03:25, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Formatting 

message: There is a brewing edit war on Malloy's Family section.  Malloy's son Ben has had more than one run-in with the law, with the incidents being reported in Connecticut media.  Some people feel this is worthy of inclusion on Dan Malloy's page, including the user GumShoe777 (contribs), who has been complaining to Wikipedia administrators when people remove the paragraphs about Ben's legal trouble.  Personally, I don't think the paragraphs about Ben are appropriate on Dan's page, I don't feel they are relevant.  Also, I think they contradict the WP:BLPNAME policy.  That states "Consider whether the inclusion of names of private living individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value. The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons."  Given that policy, it seems clear that the paragraphs about Ben should be removed.  Someone else chime in here please.--MikeUMA (talk) 14:03, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The election is over, and GumShoe777 will surely disappear.  At a minimum, the discussion of Ben Malloy should greatly condensed; it doesn't warrant the seven sentences that are currently present. Billyboy01 (talk) 19:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Family 

message: This page should be edited and forwarded to be headlined "Dannel Malloy," as this is his preferred and proper name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eyemyke (talk • contribs) 14:26, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Dannel Malloy" already redirects here. If Malloy truly preferred to be called "Dannel," I would support moving the article to that title. However, as far as I can tell, he has never shown a preference to use his legal name instead of just "Dan." In fact, the official ballots listed him as "Dan," not "Dannel." --Sgt. R.K.

message: Is this really needed? I don't see it at as that significant. Politicians criticize other politicians all the time. I do not think it was a huge news story. Thoughts?--Politicsislife (talk) 01:25, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I tend to agree. One reason that such information was added to this article is probably because Malloy is still a new governor and hasn't really done anything else major yet that is worth including. Politicians definitely do criticize each other all the time -- it's all part of the art of politics, I suppose. Since there have been no objections, I will remove the mention. --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 08:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest removing the section again. It reads as sort of a hit piece. I would possibly include the last comment regarding special needs, and title it controversies, but the above is not extremely relevant to the article.--Politicsislife (talk) 03:58, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of other Governors 

message: Someone in another section of this talk page says that the article reads like a political ad, and I have to agree.  Huge blanket statements like "the city has greatly improved" are not exactly NPOV.  Random facts about how great Stamford is, such as the city's accomplishments within the field of education, are also inappropriate if they don't include a context of how or even if Mr. Malloy was involved with it.
Sorry to disappoint die-hard Malloy fans, but I added a brief mention of the Stamford fire department debacle, which Malloy was directly responsible for and was one of several central aspects of the latter part of his administration as mayor of Stamford.  I tried to word it as neutrally as possible, but it's entirely relevant to his mayorship, and any attempt to white-wash it out is just plain dishonest.  Minaker (talk) 02:23, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This statement has no context and sticks out like a sore thumb. If this issue is discussed, all issues of equal import should be discussed about his mayoral tenure. As it stands, the paragraph here is a 50k foot view, and then zooms in on a single issue (which may or may not be important, who knows?) for no apparent reason.172.113.241.46 (talk) 16:52, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Can someone add a picture of Dan Malloy? He is the only current governor that does not have a picture with his article. Airplanegod (talk) 02:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I uploaded a photo from FEMA. Not the best image, but the only free one I could find. GabrielF (talk) 04:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: Governor Malloy received national coverage for his handling of Hurricane Sandy and the tragic events at Sandy Hook. It seems mentions of these should be made in the tenure section.Politicsislife (talk) 05:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
