Talk:Douglas Kmiec

message: ===Colbert Report appearance===
Kmiec appeared on the highly popular television show The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert, and the video clip of the Colbert-Kmiec conversation quickly became popular for its proposal.
===View on family===
Kmiec has strongly defended the family as the first vital cell of civilization. His book, Cease-fire on the Family, in the 1990s was an early call for families to avoid getting caught up in the focus on law and politics which he called a "fool's game," when personal attention to the upbringing of one's own children would reap more lasting and direct benefit. Early in the book, Kmiec writes:</blockquote>Cease-Fire, at p. 2

thread_title:  To do 

message: I have removed the following the information from the article because the sources do not support it (following WP:BLP). We may be able to find other sources that do support it, however, so I am placing it on the talk page. Awadewit (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: *Upon searching LexisNexis and Access World News (News Bank) for the Kmiec's motivation for the writing of the book, I did not find any verification for the above material. I have included in the article what I did find. We just need to find a source for the "centerpiece" bit (if indeed that is true). Awadewit (talk) 01:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

text: *I've found a source for the tour and added it. Awadewit (talk) 01:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

text: *I've added a couple but this clearly needs much more work. A survey needs to be done of the newspaper coverage at the time to see what the reaction was. Awadewit (talk) 18:00, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Information that has been removed due to sourcing issues 

message: *The entire "Obama endorsement" section is sourced to articles by Kmiec himself. We need to find some secondary sources that covered his endorsement. Awadewit (talk) 17:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional concerns

message: I added a section regarding his announced run for Congress. Also, as I have recently (though, fruitlessly) been involved in trying to edit the bio of another former DOS staff member (Ronan Farrow) whose WP article has been inundated by an absolutely unbelievable deluge of PR agency sockpuppets, I would like to take a moment to thank User:Dkmiec for very transparently and maturely making edit suggestions here in the Talk page, an appropriate and welcome place to make such suggestions, instead of trying to surreptitiously game the entry as some are wont to do. I hope he continues to participate in making suggestions for improvement of this page. BlueSalix (talk) 14:02, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
