thread_title: "Barack Obama Keynote address"

message: Is Ronald Reagan Jr. still speaking? I don't see him listed on this page.
:Yes, he is planned to speak on Tuesday. I built the speakers list primarily off the abbreviated list on the Convention's web site, and he wasn't listed on the front page, thus his non-inclusion. I'll go ahead and add him. Thanks for the pointer, as he's one of the more politically significant speakers there. I can't imagine why he wasn't listed up front. They haven't posted the full schedule for tomorrow yet, so I don't know when he'll speak. Thanks again. UPDATE: Silly me for not checking the page first. Someone else beat me too it! Wikipedia strikes again. --Gregb 04:03, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: Should mention existence of so-called "Free Speech Zone" (under a section "Security"?) and controversy over it.  --Daniel C. Boyer 17:17, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Free Speech Zone

message: *More detail should be put into the protests going on, like some mention of the Bl(A)ck Tea Society (blackteasociety.org) and you can probably get the most up to the minute coverage from boston.indymedia.org
*I added a detailed section about the protests and does in fact mention the Bl(A)ck Tea Society.  --Gerald Farinas 21:50, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: *Hello, I was wondering where you got the info on the poll about Bill and Hillary being the most popular democrats in the US.ChrisDJackson
*I got it off a graphic they featured on the PBS coverage on Monday night (7/26/04) with Jim Lehrer.  Bill Clinton was voted most popular, followed by John Kerry then Hillary Clinton.  They even went on and on about how the poll indicated that if Kerry loses the election, Hillary Clinton "will be it for 2008."  --Gerald Farinas 15:48, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: *I just have to say, this is one of the best articles I've read on Wikipedia. Full of relevant information, with very worthy photos and very good captions. And it's of an ongoing event, no less. To the collective editors of this work, I say congratulations on a magnificent article. (disclaimer: I am not a Democrat. :) --Golbez 01:36, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am working to encourage implementation of the goals of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. Part of that is to make sure articles cite their sources. This is particularly important for featured articles, since they are a prominent part of Wikipedia. The Fact and Reference Check Project has more information. Thank you, and please leave me a message when a few references have been added to the article. - Taxman 18:00, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
I agree with the need for references. How on earth did this page get named a "feature article" without a single source or reference of any kind????? --Jayzel68 14:17, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The link to the official convention comittee website, www.dems2004.org, is not working. Looks like the
domain registration lapsed. Should the link be removed?
: I wouldn't myself.  Someone could always pull it up through the Wayback Machine or somesuch.  RGTraynor 09:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I explained the presidential voting and Edwards' acceptence speech (or lack thereof). I was there, and in the case of the Kucinich votes, was thick in the middle of it. Ericl 20:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Although Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, he's not a Hawaiian native, according to his own article Barack Obama. His father is from Kenya, his mother from Kansas. Cheesus 09:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Barack Obama Honolulu native?

message: In this article about the Democrats, it says, even in the table of contents box, no less, that the convention caused several negative consequences to the venue (Boston):
   1. 3 Boston venue
   * 3.1 Site Selection
   * 3.2 Security
   * 3.3 Free speech zone
   * 3.4 Police strike
   * 3.5 Loss of business
Now, let's take a look at the TOC (contents) box for the article on the Republican National Convention:
# 2 Venue
    * 2.1 Security
    * 2.2 Timing
So maybe there wasn't a police strike in New York City at this time, but no loss of business from the disruption? Indeed, the article cites Bloomberg hailing it as an economic boon. I don't expect the articles to be exact mirror images of each other, but it does seem at least a little slanted towards the Republicans. Shanoman 22:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is missing vital information: dates. True, it mentions that the convention ran from July 26-29, but it doesn't give any information about on what days specific speeches and events happened. Which speakers spoke on what days? —Lowellian (reply) 23:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
