Talk:Mark Foley

message: I removed a link to "The love that dare not speak its name" from the "See Also" section. Aside from its being a euphamism for homosexuality, it is unrelated to the article, and seemed somewhat biased. Tobermory6 20:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The love that that dare not speak its name 

message: Did they break up?  Don't tell me there isn't enough evidence because the guy's name and the fact of their relationship is well confirmed and has appeared many, many times in mainstream media. I'm going to add back unless there's a compelling reason not to that someone would like to share.  Moncrief 19:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was the name of his partner removed? 

message: This subarticle was recently renamed and its talk page protected to prevent discussion.  The page was renamed to the misleading and inaccurage "Mark Foley congressional page controversy".  It's not okay to call this a controversy because indeed it's not.  There's no controversy about whether congressman can sexually pursue the congressional pages.  The word means dispute.  I agree that in 95 percent of cases, the word Scandal should be avoided.  This, however, is a textbook scandal, the very definition of the word.  This was unambiguous "loss of or damage to reputation caused by actual or apparent violation of morality or propriety" that Mark Foley himself would be highly unlikely I think to dispute.  There are not WP:BLP or WP:NPOV problems with calling this scandal a scandal.  Scandal, congressman resigns, this is the very epitome of the word.  If the talk page is restored and unprotected, I'm of course open to hearing other arguments, but this current title is not something the event has ever been called -- or could even accurately be called -- so perhaps we need to keep looking? --JayHenry (talk) 15:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Mark Foley scandal]] 

message: In his resignation, he apologized for letting down his "family" - what does that mean? - was he ever married??? (the article does not include a personal section, and the article does not say "he was a bachelor his entire life", or "he is married", or "he is divorced".  Was he ever married???  Who was Foley referring to when he mentioned his "family"???  Thanks in advance to anybody that knows.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.30.74 (talk) 19:49, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He was likely referring to his mother and father. Jaydubya93 (talk) 19:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The lead uses the term "underage sexting scandal", but according to both the blurb on this page and the article dedicated to the scandal, it says he used IM and email, not a phone (indeed, "sexting" doesn't appear at all on the scandal page). I'm going to change it to more accurately reflect what the actual scandal was about. Vyselink (talk) 14:49, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
