Talk:Jeb Bradley

message: I hate to sound like a pedant, but there are a number of instances of passive voice in this article. For example, the sentence "Bradley is considered a moderate Republican" begs the question "by whom?" I'm not disputing the accuracy of the statements, I just wonder if some of these sentences can be recast with active verbs? --Lloegr-Cymru£ ¥ 03:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Passive Voice 

message: I don't understand the reverts that have been made, though I follow some of the discussions here. Take, for example, the new sentence "Bradley is considered a Republican." Is he in fact an Independent, but people think he's a Republican? If we must have the revert, can we have an instance where the sentence ... is better worded? What is wrong with "Bradley is a Republican" or "Bradley is a Republican member of Congress representing the 1st District of New Hampshire in the 10Xth Congress"?
But I must, frankly, question why reverts are the answer here. It seems to me that a much better way would be to use the  template, and/or recast sentences. For example ...
"Members of the media, colleagues and opponents have described Bradley as a Moderate in the Republican Party. However, others point to areas and positions which might serve to complicate this label."
Even those sentences can be improved upon, of course. But I think revert is the wrong way to go to improve this article. Recast, rewrite, and cite, but don't revert. --Lloegr-Cymru£ ¥ 15:57, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Please Explain Reverts 

message: The article seems to contradict himself on his children.  At one point it says he has a child named Noel who worked in his campaign, but then it says he has four kids, none of whom are named Noel.  Which is it?  Papercrab (talk) 02:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
