message: I'd like to remove or very much modify a line in Richard_Cordray#Early_legislative_career: "As a state representative from 1991 to 1992, Cordray legislated against crime, on behalf of the environment, and for the protection of children and families." This differentiates him from those other legislators who favored crime, wanted to pollute, and hated children and families? It reads like blatant boosterism. --Milkbreath (talk) 16:13, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also not clear whether this refers to a voting record or bills Cordray drafted or sponsored.  Good candidate for modification. Robert K S (talk) 04:42, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Funny line 

message: In the lead: "Throughout most of his career he has continued to teach courses at law schools." There is no reference for this statement and no further mention of it in the article body. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this comment is old, but you're right. I've gone ahead and removed the sentence from the lead, since it clearly doesn't belong there with no further discussion in the body. If he has indeed continued to teach at law schools, the information should be added to the body of the article along with sources for the info. Tytrain (talk) 21:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

message: According to  Cordray attended Brasenose College, but he can not confirm so we are withholding this from the article.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM)  04:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: On 25 Sept user Freontec added the following information to the "Personal" section of the article:
During a visit to Huron, OH on September 24, 2009, Mr. Cordray participated in live team trivia at the i-5's establishment.  At the end of a 26-question game his team finished sixth out of eleven teams.  The winning team that night, interestingly enough, was Team Marc Dann
I had previously removed this information when Freontec inserted it into the lead of the article.
I believe that this information, without a reliable third-party citation which sets it in proper context, is trivia, which should not be included in articles per WP:Trivia.
Freontec, please feel free to reply below as to why you feel this information should be included. Please provide a valid citation as well. If needed, we can then get some third-party users to weigh in so that we can avoid WP:3RR. Tytrain (talk) 21:29, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

message: What is the significance of this.  Oxford is in Great Britain... do they even have a basketball program, is it a sort of "club" what league do they play in.  Issue is ... if this were a U.S. university  say like Ohio State and he won a scarlet and gray letter in basketball would mean that he was on the varsity team which is significant.  British schools don't play competitive basketball in a league.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danleywolfe (talk • contribs) 19:32, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Hey y'all! Pinging  on this. Per WP:PRIMARY, this really shouldn't be used and it doesn't show any notability about the event. I think that a much better source to use would be from the Plain Dealer here: . 
Candidly though, this doesn't really seem that notable either way in the course of his overall biography where it sits right now-- "He was accused by conservative watchdogs of violating the Hatch Act but the Office of Special Counsel cleared him of all wrongdoing" isn't really... anything. It's just kind of like, there was this weird fish hunt and it didn't turn up anything. Per WP:BLP, "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion" so I removed it. I still think it should stay removed but I think there should be discussion on it too. Nomader (talk) 16:12, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I put it in a NPOV fashion and edited the article, hopefully is better now! Nomader (talk) 16:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
