Talk:Sam Johnson

message: Kind of childish to call a politician best known for calling someone else Hanoi John, isn't it? On the other hand, it seems like he has not done much else worth mentioning.? Get-back-world-respect 17:19, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: It appears that somebody from Congress has been sterilizing this page too.  The IP address is identical to the one recently used to sanitize Meehan's entry.

message: Samuel Johnson → Dr. Samuel Johnson —(Discuss)
Since the Feb 2006 page move, 6 new entries have been added to the Samuel Johnson (disambiguation) page including Sam Houston Johnson, a Presidential sibling, Samuel Ealy Johnson, Jr., a Presidential father, Samuel Ealy Johnson, Sr., a Presidential grandfather, Samuel Johnson (footballer born 1973), an active footballer, and Samuel Curtis Johnson, Sr. the patriarch of the richest family in Wisconsin.  The primacy of Dr. Samuel Johnson versus the remaining field of Samuel Johnsons should be reconsidered.  This move would enable replacement of the dab page at Samuel Johnson TonyTheTiger 06:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: So basically, at one point it says he was born 1947, above where it states his wife, and that meant he was flying fighter planes in Korea when he was six.

message: I currently see several problems with the Controversies section. The first section appears to have only one source, counterpunch, and that does not qualify as a WP:RS. It can stay in if a notable source can be found, but if it is going to go into the article and be labeled as a “controversy” it should be illustrated with this is, in fact, a controversy. What notable people have criticized him for this and is/was this widely enough discussed that the inclusion of this material is not a violation of undue weight? I have seen this discussed on a few weblogs, and one article in the WAPO, but it does not appear that this really made any waves. 
The second section I removed entirely because it has no sources, and as such is a violation of WP:BLP. It can be re-added at a later date if appropriate citations are included. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 19:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Next to it saying he represents the 3rd district in Texas, there is a direct link to a map. The link doesn't work. This should be fixed (either replaced with a working link or just removed entirely). Not sure if this map is used in more congressional pages, but that's not as important, I guess.

message: The article says that Johnson heads the Ways & Means Committee, but it also says that Kevin Brady succeeded him to that post. If the latter is accurate, perhaps the former should be edited? HMishkoff (talk) 19:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I just added a mention of Shirley's death to the article (RIP), and I edited a sentence to read, "They were the parents of three children and ten grandchildren." I'm not entirely comfortable with "they were," as Sam is still very much alive, but that was the best grammar I could come up with. Someone else may wish to take a crack at it.
