thread_title: What is POV problem in "Reaction to appointment" section? 

message: Raum is now calling for the 1 million persons (about 1 in 320 americans, after foreigners are removed) who are on the no fly or S lists to be banned from owning guns.  After it was revealed how inaccurate these lists are (persons such as Senator Ted Kennedy appeared on the list, luckily he knows the right people to get removed, the rest have no chance), this is very controversial.  It should be mentioned, it's been getting some mainstream coverage. Terrorlistforlife (talk) 06:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are reliable sources to back up these claims, OK, then a small mention would be entirely appropriate.  In general, though, I don't think his position on guns is all that worthy yet for any detailed content overhauls in the article.  Yaf (talk) 13:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From a political perspective, I would say that the notability is not just in terms of gun politics in general, but also from the sense that if this is true then Emanuel is implicitly endorsing a controversial policy of the outgoing administration, the no-fly list.  Assuming, as Yaf says, there is reliable sourcing for this fact, I therefore agree that it's worth mention. — Hiddekel (talk) 15:22, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Actually, he did not serve with a foreign army.  Whether the US was, at the time, engaged in a military conflict elsewhere seems hardly relevant, as the subject was not then a member of the US armed forces. The guideline reads, "Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability"; the notability of the President's chief of staff is clear, and his ethnicity has nothing to do with his office.

:Neither of these points appears in the body of the article, and the lead section should only summarize the most important information.  I removed the NDC claim since it is unsourced and appears nowhere in the article.  I also removed the "combative style" claim, which again, does not appear in the article as an important point and is sourced to an article in Rolling Stone about how competitive he is, which holds true for any person elected to a public office.  For some comparison, articles on Rush Limbaugh,  Peggy Noonan, and Sarah Palin, all considered highly combative "attack dogs", are not referred to as such in their lead sections, nor anywhere in their respective articles.

This is rather disturbing, considering his importance in the governmental hierarchy of the US. His authority should be disallowed if that is the case, first of all, because the Chief of Staff should have no allegiance before that to the nation which he serves. Even citizenship status should be called into question, as this man no doubt has duel citizenship with Israel and the US together.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.171.193 (talk) 02:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

message: the article states that "Moskal also charged that Emanuel had dual citizenship with Israel and had served in the Israeli Army.[35] Emanuel did not serve in the Israeli army, but was a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces for a short time during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israel's northern bases with Sar-El."
so the article addresses the idf claim, but it doesn't address the veracity of the claim that he has dual citizenship - us and israeli.  are there any reliable source as to whether or not he ever attained israeli citizenship?  i've heard it alleged many times, but don't know if it's true,and the article doesn't answer the question :-/  
::James Zogby, who has a pretty well developed wikipage himself, wrote an article for the huffingtonpost where is denies that Rahm has Israeli citizenship, though he offers nothing in the way of primary sources for this. Since he's asserting a negative, I don't know how anyone could support this short of getting some file clerk for the Israeli IRS to look through every record. Anyway, Zogby seems like a pretty reliable source.  - Gwopy 07:09, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

text: To be included in an encyclopedia, it should be notable, significant, and properly sourced.  What we had in the deleted passage was not sourced at all, and that's likely why an editor deleted the passage.  In addition, though, there remains the question of significance and notability.  Congressional whips, and chiefs of staff, argue with Congressmen all the time: that is their job.  Congressmen have discussions in the locker room; that is why we pay for their gym!  It is not clear at first glance that anything untoward or even surprising happened; the original editor, I suspect, was hoping to insinuate a suggestion of homosexual conduct but this was not stated, much less sourced.

thread_title: Need more representative chief of staff section

message: You are very current in the first paragraph: former,
but need to follow through in the third:  current.
I did not read the whole article so there may be other similar.
Rahm Israel Emanuel[1] (pronounced /ˈrɑːm/; born November 29, 1959) is an American politician and former White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama. He served previously as senior advisor to President Clinton at the White House from 1993 to 1998 and as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Illinois's 5th congressional district, from 2003 until his resignation in 2009 to take up his position in the Obama Administration.
Emanuel was chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee during the 2006 mid-term elections and remained a top strategist for House Democrats during the 2008 cycle. After Democrats regained control of the House in 2006, Emanuel was elected chairman of the Democratic Caucus. This made him the fourth-ranking House Democrat, behind Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn.[2]
Two days after Obama's election victory, he was announced as Barack Obama's designate for White House Chief of Staff.[3] Emanuel resigned from the House on January 2, 2009[4] and began his current job on January 20, 2009, the day of Obama's inauguration.[3]

message: Fat and Happy, concerning this revert  and whether or not RE is a Chicago political insider (which he is, and that's not exactly a crime), would you characterize the similar claim that Gery Chico is a Chicago political insider in the lead of his article worthy of reverting too? Or is that also an "unsourced characterization of undemonstrated (sic)  relevance"? Dr. Dan (talk) 01:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I know nothing about Gary Chico, but after a quick scan of his article I'd say that yes, if it had been on my watchlist back on January 4 when the term was added, I would have probably disputed its addition. In spite of the rather obvious statement that being a political insider is not a crime, the term does frequently carry certain negative connotations. And in much of the country, "Chicago political insider" is even more negative, along the lines of the formerly common "Tammany Hall member". Even the Chico example is a bit less clear-cut than the usage in the Emanuel article. At least as one of several descriptors in the lead, the term might be justified as one of his defining characteristics and supported by content in the rest of the article. Even if the Barack Obama article said "he appointed long-time Chicago political insider R.E. as his chief of staff", the usage might be considered relevant and informative, though "politician" would serve just as well. In the present case, however, it's hard to see a useful point to the addition other than to cast doubts on Obama's reasons for making the appointment. And in either the BO article or discussing the appointment in this one, there should still be a reliable source referring to him as a political insider in relation to the appointment. Fat&Happy (talk) 02:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate your response. I don't think that a reference is always necessary to back up a fact. Unless of course one thinks that the statement is untrue. Not certain if you are are Chicago resident. I am from Chicago and am quite informed about Chicago politics and standby my assertion. It's precisely because RE was a Chicago political insider that helped Obama decide to make him his chief of staff. JFK had his "Irish mafia" and BHO has his "Chicago mafia". Not a bad thing, is it? Dr. Dan (talk) 05:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

text: We don't need to characterize RE in this way. His entire biography is detailed in the article. Trying to characterize here demands that we judge which characterization is more important: equally strong arguments could be adduced for (a) influential Congressman, (b) combative legislator, (c) old ally, (d) experienced but moderate campaigner. Isolating him as a Chicago political insider here selectively neglects other aspects that seem equally weighty. MarkBernstein (talk) 17:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I understand that he served as a presidential appointee on Freddie Mac's board for 14 months. That's a fact. [Maybe someone should also point out that the board met only 6 times a year and that Rahm supposedly did nothing while he was on the board, earning about $50K for each board meeting, which by the way are often done by teleconference.] What I find incredible is how he could leave Freddie Mac to run for congress and then, as per the article, be appointed to a congressional subcommittee overseeing Freddie and Fannie. In order to avoid a conflict he would have to recuse himself from every meeting of the subcommittee. Something doesn't make sense here. FrancisDane (talk) 13:34, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Freddie Mac 

message: According to the source cited in the article ():
Members of Chicago's Jewish community say Emanuel's wife Amy, who converted to Judaism around the same time as her wedding, is heavily involved with the Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in Lakeview, Ill. 
The couple send their 6-year-old son, Zacharias, and 3-year-old Ilana to the Conservative Jewish day school, which Emanuel himself attended as a child.
So if we're going according to that source, BZAEDS is Conservative.  However, their own site says:
The Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School and Anshe Emet Synagogue are separate institutions each governed by an independent board of trustees. The school and synagogue share physical facilities and they value a synergistic, collaborative learning relationship that includes the celebration of life cycle events and holidays.
That's a close affiliation by any standard. So please stop removing it. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 13:14, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I suspect that part of the reason certain editors want to keep the Orthodox identification of Anshe Shalom and omit the Conservative nature of Anshe Emet is because they want to continue the myth of Rahm being Orthodox in some way.

And facing a steady barrage of “Resign Rahm” protests in 2016. and countless media headlines and even published books about why the people in Chicago gave him such low ratings as a major of Chicago and protesting for many months just for his resignation. It's amazing how none of that is being mentioned in the article. Why is that? There's also so many other stuff on other criticisms like his insensitive remarks towards Hispanics, Asian Americans and how the Black community believe he had no credibility in helping them as a major. But I added merely two things but the article really needs to mention these things about the black community protests against his tenure, and not sweep it under a rug. 49.180.16.205 (talk) 00:48, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protesters and low Mayor ratings 

message: 3 days ago, the 'Mayor history chapter' talks about 2015 and then jumps to 2019 and completely skips entire years of 2016, 2017 and 2018 without good reason. There's particularly no reason at all to not talk about 2016 in that chapter when media often talked about the public rage against him for his handling of Laquan McDonald shooting video, so I now added that year in. And there were shamefully zero mentions of any black Chicago protests against him as if it's being scrubbed by editors despite the Black community often protests against him in that year. The anger and protests is just so quietly buried deep with a ridiculous amount of irrelevant information and been summarised as public scrutiny in barely a sentence. Editors can't keep constantly removing all that information about his low ratings as Chicago mayor in that year 2016 or the community anger towards him. Discuss in talk and give a valid reason why information about his record low ratings or the protests against him, needs to be reduced from public view? I read the article 2 days ago, and shockingly found it so difficult to notice any information about 2016 or the Chicago Black community protests against him. 49.179.72.173 (talk) 13:02, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discuss here 

message: :Just to be clear. In the Mayor history section. The year 2016 is completely missing. No mention of what happened that year. Yet in the years prior, there is a generous amount of peacocking on how popular he is. Yet the moment 2016 arrives where nobody can deny his ratings became the lowest in modern Chicago history. There's not even any chapter for the year 2016. I added that in. Also I believe the lead should mention that in 2016, his ratings had dropped so low that it was the lowest in modern Chicago history. It is bad enough that there's no mention of it in the introduction. But to delete it after I added it in, is just wrong. Some argue that the timing of the omission of the Laquan McDonald video was to protect his mayor election campaign. I didn't add that in because it's possibly speculation. But the facts that he received record low ratings and protests to resign, are not speculating but the hard facts. It's not deemed character assassination for telling what had actually happened and nobody should take political sides. You need to discuss in Talk before reverting. If a guy literally had the lowest ratings in modern Chicago history as mayor in 2016. That is real noteworthy history and should be mentioned in the lead and body and not be hidden.49.181.137.137 (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  So discuss here for once to those who keep deleting 

message: : First off, the polls that suggested Emanuel will win easily, was commissioned by one of Emanuel's own top campaign backers according to USA today. Such essential context is omitted and so I added that necessary details in. Also it's misleading to claim he was set to win the election outright when the polls contradict it. Polls showed he wasn't invincible and on the contrary, data from Public Policy Polling published by Politico showed that "in a head-to-head matchup, Vallas beats out Emanuel 39 percent to 33" and that Emanuel only edged out McCarthy by one percentage point. Such real confirmed details that he wasn't so likely to win, was omitted and so I have added that in, as previous edit made it appear like he had no real competition, when that is false. 49.186.99.237 (talk) 08:10, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  2019 polling is Misleading 

message: : Hi, I see you created a new account yesterday and first edits to revert me, and not sure if you were the same person who keeps deleting the very same info before. But I have constantly brought this up on Talk and since you had reverted those edits. You need to discuss why it's forbidden to show the facts. I have recently added these edits in. Do please discuss what would make you think this information is wrong despite it's supported by high quality sources? Just because it SHOWS that majority of polled Chicagoans dislike how he handled the video and believed he was dishonest. It's not POV pushing but just the actual facts any angle you look at it. I am patient enough to discuss it all and can also agree to take this to admin noticeboard if we are not able to get consensus or you keep reverting without discussion.49.195.23.50 (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
