Talk:Jeff Flake

message: Well over 300,000 ballots are still uncounted, so it's premature to call him the Senator-elect. 24.214.230.66 (talk) 02:51, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: The news networks don't determine the outcome, and most likely they were unaware at the time of the vast number of provisional ballots. Flake's lead is narrowing, and Carmona is considering a retraction of his election-night concession. 24.214.230.66 (talk) 11:36, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Senator-elect? 

message: The last paragraph about H-1B visas in the Immigration section needs significant work. Some issues noticed:
* Copy editing needed. Full name of bill is missing. Orrin Hatch's state is incorrect. Some verb modification and spelling corrections needed.
* Not in citation given. Citation after "bill first introduced in 2013" does not mention 2013. All content must come from a reliable source. (WP:NOCITE).
* Editorializing. Some descriptions contain opinions, such as "uses broad language", "massive". Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view. (WP:NPOV).
* Peacock terms and weasel words. "Massive" is a peacock term. (WP:PEACOCK). "Numerous" ad "with claims" are vague weasel word phrases. (WP:WEASEL).
Hoping this helps. Supperclubgene (talk) 01:12, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Last paragraph of immigration section needs work 

message: I think it should come down. I compared the page with other United States Senators. The focus of the content and writing style seems similar to other Senators' pages. Looking forward to other Wikipedians' input on this issue. Otherwise, I think it should be removed. Michael Powerhouse (talk) 01:58, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a persuasive arguement. Still looks like a press release, still full of WEASEL. 05:53, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Can you share with me some examples of weasel wording, and I'll help clean up. Thank you so much. Michael Powerhouse (talk) 20:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I thought Flake's first name was spelled Jeffry, without the E.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.59.176 (talk • contribs) 
:Confession -- I'm the one who added the "e". Done so on the basis of the NNDB listing. But NNDB is the only source which uses that spelling. I've switched it back to Jeffry.  – S. Rich (talk) 02:01, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The existing source doesn't have it, but  does give the "Jeffry Lane Flake" spelling. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:24, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  senior United States Senator for Arizona. 

message: The "nuclear option" is a somewhat derogatory term - a more neutral term is "constitutional option" - for changing US Senate rules, particularly in relation to the filibuster, as it applies to judicial nominees.
This article as currently constituted makes Flake and his fellow Republican Senators sound like perpretrators of some terrible procedural deed, which entirely ignores the history of the use of the "nuclear option" in recent years.  Much of the biased view is based upon a left-wing source, "The Cronkite Report".  I am simply trying to show both sides of the issue.

text: The text that you keep trying to add is WP:SYNTH. If your text is correct, it needs to be sourced to RS that explicitly cover Flake and his decision to peel back the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:03, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  could use an update on sinema 

message: Most of the content here pertains the Bill Williams River Water Rights Settlement Act. The amount of details included here could be enough to warrant an individual article, so I'm wondering if we should split that section (along with some of the information I deleted) into an article for the Bill Williams River Water Rights Settlement Act. Thoughts? Dobbyelf62 (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
