message: This article has been reported at WP:COIN#Steve Poizner as a possible case of conflict of interest editing. I trimmed out some of the more promotional language, and removed a few statements for which no source was provided. Further improvement may be possible. EdJohnston (talk) 03:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To be clear, the conflict of interst guidline is not a brightline rule. There are articles on Wikipedia where the subject has edited and even begun their own articles and been found not to harm it.--Amadscientist (talk) 07:50, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard]] 

message: Being selected by a US President to be a part of a US Honorary Delegation that attended the historic 60th anniversary of Israel, along with numerous other leaders from around the world, is hardly "fluff". It is a fact, and it is newsworthy as evidenced by the press release and brief article used to source the information. Furthermore, it is a profile item that illustrates another piece of Steve Poizner's profile. That is to say, he is an important person. This is your last warning to stop vandalizing this article. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.188.102 (talk • contribs) 
:If you are a newcomer to Wikipedia, giving lectures about policy to our administrators isn't smart. Is visiting Israel a more important detail than (apparently) being a serious future candidate for governor of California?  Please use some perspective. We perform a service by leaving out the less important details. Promotional editing risks getting you in trouble with the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guideline, so please follow our policies. 
:I replaced the section heading that you used, since headings must be neutral per WP:TALK. And please sign your comments using four tildes ('~~~~') before hitting Save Page.  EdJohnston (talk) 17:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Stating the obvious, but EdJohnston wasn't vandalizing - he was making an editorial decision regarding content. The flow chart to the right is taken from WP:CONSENSUS, and indicates that you should be attempting to find a compromise, instead of just reverting to your preferred version.

replies: text: Very good. I appreciate all of your help. Wikipedia would not be what it is today without the efforts of folks like you. With that said, I look forward to you editing the wiki's of the following California politicians, using the exact same guidelines that you are utilizing with Steve Poizner's wiki. Jerry Brown, Steve Westley, Fabian Nunez, Don Perata, Antonio Villaraigosa, Gavin Newsom, John Garamendi, Meg Whitman. Having viewed each and every one of these wiki's, im aghast at the flagrant abuse, promotional editing, and unsourced editorial therein. It will take a truly noble effort to make sure those sites are exactly in line with the noted trangressions on Steve Poizner's wiki. Good luck and I look forward to the results. :::76.126.188.102 (talk) 22:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Recent editing of the article

message: Steve is broadcasting many ads on TV about illegal immigration, how others (Meg, Obama) are soft on the issue, how he is tough and he will crack down. Maybe we should talk about these ads in a paragraph, how effective they are. They seem to be effective, illegal immigration is quite a problem in California  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.57.236 (talk) 22:17, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

message: According to this news story, many copies of Poizner's book have been bought through a company that helps promote books, with the copies then being given away.  The purpose of the exercise is to put a book onto the best-seller list even if genuine reader demand for it is lacking.  Poizner and his campaign have refused to say whether they were behind this effort.  Is this worth including? JamesMLane t c 20:39, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Why are there so many pictures in this article? I counted eleven. There are articles twice the size of this one that have fewer pictures. 4.168.0.132 (talk) 05:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Way too many images  

message: The following sentence is in the lead paragraph:  "However he lost the June Primary by a landslide to former CEO of eBay Meg Whitman."  This should be removed because 1) "by a landslide" is not neutral and 2) who he lost to is irrelevant in the lead and is already noted more appropriately in the body of the article.  I will remove again, but wanted to start a discussion here in case I am reverted again.  Alanraywiki (talk) 22:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the POV statement but I believe who he lost to is relevant and should be left on the page. Ajw522 (talk) 00:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for removing that statement.  Who he lost to is on the page, just not in the lead section.  While I don't think it belongs in the lead, I will not revert it.  Alanraywiki (talk) 00:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  POV statement 

message: Per WP:BLP, I'd like to request the unsourced statement: "It is widely believed that the promotion is a stepping stone position for Poizner to become Chief Executive Officer of Qualcomm Inc." that was added just recently be removed. Just doing a few quick Google searches, I was not able to find any sources to support this statement.
I have a COI/financial connection/affiliation with Qualcomm. CorporateM (Talk) 17:41, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: CorporateM, agreed, I have made the edit as you requested. Prhartcom (talk) 22:01, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
