Talk:Virginia Foxx

message: I know there's been some vandalism of this page, but does it make me a bad wikipedian that I think this congresswoman deserves it?--Benfergy (talk) 03:11, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You can think she deserves it and remove the vandalism anyway.  How about that?  =) Henrymrx (t·c) 03:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Should this fact from notable source be in Congresswoman Foxx's wikepedia entry?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30505428/
Or Mathew Shepard's mother's reaction doesn't really belong to this wiki entry?
(BTW, I'm not in Congresswoman Foxx's district, I'm straight; I have no fight in this, just calling a spade a spade.)

replies: text: While the source is certainly reliable, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia articles aren't intended to collect every related fact.  I personally don't think that the reaction of Shepard's mother doesn't belong in the article.
Foxx actually should probably have a controversies section.67.149.196.50 (talk) 01:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the following text, which (a) did not comply with the requirement for neutral language and (b) was also a violation of WP:BLP, since it is contentious material ("abuse", "reform", "alleged", "corruption") without adequate sourcing. Without such sourcing, this is also borderline original writing, since there may be nothing newsworthy here.  -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 14:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following line from the Hurricane Katrina section: "She was also one of only 33 Republicans to vote against the extension of the Voting Rights Act in July 2006." Her stance on the Voting Rights Act is not relevant to her stance on Katrina funding.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.183.5.220 (talk) 00:33, May 13, 2013.
:The IP editor is entirely correct. He/she was reverted twice, by the same editor. I have reinstated his edit. Her stance on the Voting Rights Act is in no way relevant to reconstruction funding for Hurricane Katrina. Horologium (talk) 01:11, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Someone just removed something saying how often she votes with Trump.  The source was 538.  The editor said it was misleading and out of date.  A more appropriate edit would have been to update the number; it was not misleading.  She does vote the party line nearly all of the time.  One exception would be on budget matters.  She is so tight __with taxpayer money__ ... fill in your favorite joke.  She votes against most (all) expenditures.  I think she would wear that as a badge of honor - I'm sure some campaign literature could be used as a source.  Perhaps someone will see this and write something professionally - and sourced.  75.191.81.123 (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Isn't there anything good or positive she has ever done? It could be really minor, but surely there's something decent that she has ever proposed or stood for. No? -- 2600:8802:5913:1700:C93:A169:7594:B330 (talk) 10:39, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
