The footer says "©2012 Office of the Governor", but perhaps it'd be possible to get this photo released?

This article needs to address the fact that Bobby was a huge proponent and even on the governors board of Common Core, and did not have the least problem passing it. Once it started to come under fire by far right commentators, he gladly reversed his position.
May 2014 Times-Picayune:
After years of backing Common Core, Jindal has come out against the academic standards, which have come under fire from conservative groups this year. The governor, specifically, wanted the Legislature to bow out of the use of a Common Core standardized test
By David Catanese May 30, 2014 | 11:01 a.m. EDT + More
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wants to be clear: He really dislikes Common Core, the educational initiative that seeks to unify certain classroom standards across the country.
At least, he does now.
During his speech Thursday night to the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, Jindal couldn't have been more explicit.
"I'm against the Common Core, and I don't want Louisiana to be in the Common Core," he said.
"We've taken a lot of criticism in this state from folks that have criticized me for being against it," he went on.
[READ: The Unshackling of Bobby Jindal]
The room boomed with applause, according to reporters there.
But Jindal's full-throated denouncement of the policy is likely motivated by his past support for it.
He's seen how the conservative base of the party has turned virulently against it over the past year and is making sure they know he's now with them.
That wasn't always the case.
The original policy – adopted by over 40 states – was developed through a collaboration of governors and education leaders that included Jindal, who was described by The Times-Picayune as "a strong supporter of the standards."
"Over the past four years, we’ve already taken steps to meet [our education] goals, including … adopting the Common Core State Standards," Jindal said in early 2012, according to a timeline posted by The Huffington Post.
Jindal expressed reservations about Common Core last fall, as opposition from conservative state lawmakers and tea party members began to mushroom.
[ALSO: Bobby Jindal and the 'Path' Less Taken]
He's sharpened his rhetoric against the policy in recent months as he's traveled the country in preparation for a potential presidential bid.
The RLC speech marked his most emphatic – and publicized criticism – of Common Core, likely due to the throng of national reporters in the audience.
But as evidenced by commentator Michelle Malkin, the right won't soon forget who saddled up to Common Core at the start.
@jmartNYT Jindal was for it before he was against it. The recantation is complete. #StopCommonCore — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) May 30, 2014
That means if Jindal runs for president in 2016, he'll need a pithy, well-rehearsed answer for why he was for it before he was against it.

That's not how the guidelines say it should be done. See Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for example. The guideline wants a greater level of generality in the lead paragraph than in the rest of the lead:
“ | [T]he opening paragraph should establish notability, neutrally describe the person, and provide context. The opening paragraph should usually have…. The notable positions the person held, activities they took part in or roles they played; Why the person is notable….[A]void overloading the lead sentence with various sundry roles; instead, emphasize what made the person notable. Incidental and non-notable roles (i.e. activities that are not integral to the person's notability) should usually not be mentioned in the lead paragraph. | ” |

I object to Mr X's reversion of this edit because the Cato Institute's trade policy position is in line with the near universal opinion among economists.

I would assert, that despite the Cato Institute's ideology, since their trade policy view is in line with the mainstream view among economists, it constitutes a reliable source and a significant viewpoint, and therefore, does not violate our neutral POV policy. - Jajhill ( talk) 18:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Putin is not the exception. The U.S. House portrait is not prudent on this article. That is a photo which is 10 years old, from a previous office. Since that photo was taken he has been reelected to the House, twice elected and is completing his final year as Governor. He has changed his hair, which has grayed, he has aged considerably, and the difference between 34 and 44 is noticeable. For a current officeholder whose official portrait is unavailable we ought to use the best photographs we can find. Putin's last official portrait is the FSB portrait, your logic would make this this infobox image. However it is not, nor should it be. The image there right now is not a portrait-quality image, but is contemporary and sufficient. Thats what should be done here. Spartan7W § 15:37, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
@ MavsFan28: This solves the problem. Public Records Act provides that all photographs produced by the state are public records. I have uploaded the official portrait under this definition. Spartan7W § 19:37, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Back to the drawing board on this one; looks like the official gubernatorial image was taken down. Again, the image being used now is terrible, though high-quality. With the exception of grey hairs that he appears to sometimes dye, his look hasn't changed much. Without any official governor portrait available, we should use one of the congressional ones. File:Piyush Jindal.jpg was taken during the 111th congress, which would be mere months before he was elected governor. MavsFan28 ( talk) 19:52, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Extended content

---|
Source of list: United States presidential election, 2016

My goal is to determine whether Wikipedia's requirements are met for the above forty pages, and to insure that we have citations to reliable sources that meet the requirements.
You are encouraged to look at and comment on the other pages, not just this one.
Please provide any citations that you believe establish a direct tie to the person's notability, self-identification in the person's own words, etc. Merely posting an opinion is not particularly helpful unless you have sources to back up your claims. I would ask everyone to please avoid responding to any comment that doesn't discuss a source or one of the requirements listed above. You can. of course, discuss anything you want in a separate section, but right now we are focusing on finding and verifying sources that meet Wikipedia's requirements. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 05:21, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Previously, I asked for citations showing that this page meets Wikipedia's requirements for listing religion in the infobox and in the list of categories. I also did my own search. There do not appear to be sources establishing compliance with the rules for inclusion, so I have removed the religion entry and categories. It appears that this page does not meet Wikipedia's requirements, so I am removing religion from the infobox and categories. Editors are encouraged to add properly sourced religion information to the body of the article, subject to WP:V and WP:WEIGHT.

According to this article published in Scientific American ( http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/losing-ground-southeast-louisiana-is-disappearing-quickly/), in S. E. Louisiana wetlands are washing away at a rate of a football field every hour, 16 square miles per year, largely due to the activities of the oil and gas industry. Environmentalists hold oil and gas companies responsible for the destruction, and a number of lawsuits have been filed in this regard. ( https://www.facingsouth.org/2014/02/green-army-gathers-in-louisiana-worries-oil-and-ga.html). Bobby Jindal, proactively supported the oil and gas industry during his tenure as governor. The recent sudden storm surges from the flooding have been tied to the destruction of the marshlands, which if present, would act much like a massive sponge and absorb the rainfall, thus preventing the destructive, sudden rise in water levels following the rains. As you can see in this map, this area where the bayou destruction is happening is exactly this area where the flooding occurred( http://www.nola.com/environment/index.ssf/2016/08/louisiana_flood_map.html). Jindal has played a very active role in this--see: https://thinkprogress.org/gov-bobby-jindal-quashes-lawsuit-against-97-oil-and-gas-companies-for-years-of-destroying-wetlands-3fe043101ba7.

We appear to be in the situation described in FULLNAME#PSUEDONAMES "For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the legal name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym. Follow this practice even if the article itself is titled with the pseudonym:
...care must be taken to avoid implying that a person who does not generally use all their forenames or who uses a familiar form has actually changed their name. Do not write, for example "John Edwards (born Johnny Reid Edwards, June 10, 1953)"
The common use name should not be implied to be a legal name if it is not. -- The Red Pen of Doom
Two years later, in the article title you see in big letters: Bobby Jindal. The lede then provides the full name (as it should) as follows: Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971)[1] is an American politician who is the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana and the Vice Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.[2] -- Charles Edwin Shipp ( talk) 20:16, 14 June 2014 (UTC) PS: This is all good and should last until and beyond the 2016 presidential election.
This article needs to address the fact that Bobby was a huge proponent and even on the governors board of Common Core, and did not have the least problem passing it. Once it started to come under fire by far right commentators, he gladly reversed his position.
May 2014 Times-Picayune:
After years of backing Common Core, Jindal has come out against the academic standards, which have come under fire from conservative groups this year. The governor, specifically, wanted the Legislature to bow out of the use of a Common Core standardized test
By David Catanese May 30, 2014 | 11:01 a.m. EDT + More
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wants to be clear: He really dislikes Common Core, the educational initiative that seeks to unify certain classroom standards across the country.
At least, he does now.
During his speech Thursday night to the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, Jindal couldn't have been more explicit.
"I'm against the Common Core, and I don't want Louisiana to be in the Common Core," he said.
"We've taken a lot of criticism in this state from folks that have criticized me for being against it," he went on.
[READ: The Unshackling of Bobby Jindal]
The room boomed with applause, according to reporters there.
But Jindal's full-throated denouncement of the policy is likely motivated by his past support for it.
He's seen how the conservative base of the party has turned virulently against it over the past year and is making sure they know he's now with them.
That wasn't always the case.
The original policy – adopted by over 40 states – was developed through a collaboration of governors and education leaders that included Jindal, who was described by The Times-Picayune as "a strong supporter of the standards."
"Over the past four years, we’ve already taken steps to meet [our education] goals, including … adopting the Common Core State Standards," Jindal said in early 2012, according to a timeline posted by The Huffington Post.
Jindal expressed reservations about Common Core last fall, as opposition from conservative state lawmakers and tea party members began to mushroom.
[ALSO: Bobby Jindal and the 'Path' Less Taken]
He's sharpened his rhetoric against the policy in recent months as he's traveled the country in preparation for a potential presidential bid.
The RLC speech marked his most emphatic – and publicized criticism – of Common Core, likely due to the throng of national reporters in the audience.
But as evidenced by commentator Michelle Malkin, the right won't soon forget who saddled up to Common Core at the start.
@jmartNYT Jindal was for it before he was against it. The recantation is complete. #StopCommonCore — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) May 30, 2014
That means if Jindal runs for president in 2016, he'll need a pithy, well-rehearsed answer for why he was for it before he was against it.

So how about "Commentators theorized that Jindal's sudden reversal against Common Core in 2014 and his executive orders to stop implementation in the face of continuing support by the state legislature, board of education, and business community for the standards was due to pressure from 'tea party activists'." and toss in this ref also: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/bobby-jindal-louisiana-common-core-108022.html Hcobb ( talk) 18:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I object to the repeated addition of redundant content in the lead. Either we should follow a chronological flow or a significance flow, not both. It's poor writing.- Mr X 01:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
That's not how the guidelines say it should be done. See Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders for example. The guideline wants a greater level of generality in the lead paragraph than in the rest of the lead:
“ | [T]he opening paragraph should establish notability, neutrally describe the person, and provide context. The opening paragraph should usually have…. The notable positions the person held, activities they took part in or roles they played; Why the person is notable….[A]void overloading the lead sentence with various sundry roles; instead, emphasize what made the person notable. Incidental and non-notable roles (i.e. activities that are not integral to the person's notability) should usually not be mentioned in the lead paragraph. | ” |

I object to Mr X's reversion of this edit because the Cato Institute's trade policy position is in line with the near universal opinion among economists. The Cato Institute is nonpartisan, and recently had a lengthly legal battle with the Koch brothers over the organization's independence from the Koch brothers political activity. I would assert, that despite the Cato Institute's ideology, since their trade policy view is in line with the mainstream view among economists, it constitutes a reliable source and a significant viewpoint, and therefore, does not violate our neutral POV policy. - Jajhill ( talk) 18:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Putin is not the exception. The U.S. House portrait is not prudent on this article. That is a photo which is 10 years old, from a previous office. Since that photo was taken he has been reelected to the House, twice elected and is completing his final year as Governor. He has changed his hair, which has grayed, he has aged considerably, and the difference between 34 and 44 is noticeable. For a current officeholder whose official portrait is unavailable we ought to use the best photographs we can find. Putin's last official portrait is the FSB portrait, your logic would make this this infobox image. However it is not, nor should it be. The image there right now is not a portrait-quality image, but is contemporary and sufficient. Thats what should be done here. Spartan7W § 15:37, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
@ MavsFan28: This solves the problem. Public Records Act provides that all photographs produced by the state are public records. I have uploaded the official portrait under this definition. Spartan7W § 19:37, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Back to the drawing board on this one; looks like the official gubernatorial image was taken down. Again, the image being used now is terrible, though high-quality. With the exception of grey hairs that he appears to sometimes dye, his look hasn't changed much. Without any official governor portrait available, we should use one of the congressional ones. File:Piyush Jindal.jpg was taken during the 111th congress, which would be mere months before he was elected governor. MavsFan28 ( talk) 19:52, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I am going through the entire list of all forty candidates for US President in 2016 (many now withdrawn) and trying to make sure that the religion entry in the infobox of each page meets Wikipedia's requirements.
Here are the requirements for listing a religion in the infobox (religion in the body of the article has different rules):
The forty candidates are:

Source of list: United States presidential election, 2016

My goal is to determine whether Wikipedia's requirements are met for the above forty pages, and to insure that we have citations to reliable sources that meet the requirements.
You are encouraged to look at and comment on the other pages, not just this one.
Please provide any citations that you believe establish a direct tie to the person's notability, self-identification in the person's own words, etc. Merely posting an opinion is not particularly helpful unless you have sources to back up your claims. I would ask everyone to please avoid responding to any comment that doesn't discuss a source or one of the requirements listed above. You can. of course, discuss anything you want in a separate section, but right now we are focusing on finding and verifying sources that meet Wikipedia's requirements. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 05:21, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Previously, I asked for citations showing that this page meets Wikipedia's requirements for listing religion in the infobox and in the list of categories. I also did my own search. There do not appear to be sources establishing compliance with the rules for inclusion, so I have removed the religion entry and categories. It appears that this page does not meet Wikipedia's requirements, so I am removing religion from the infobox and categories. Editors are encouraged to add properly sourced religion information to the body of the article, subject to WP:V and WP:WEIGHT.

According to this article published in Scientific American ( http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/losing-ground-southeast-louisiana-is-disappearing-quickly/), in S. E. Louisiana wetlands are washing away at a rate of a football field every hour, 16 square miles per year, largely due to the activities of the oil and gas industry. Environmentalists hold oil and gas companies responsible for the destruction, and a number of lawsuits have been filed in this regard. ( https://www.facingsouth.org/2014/02/green-army-gathers-in-louisiana-worries-oil-and-ga.html). Bobby Jindal, proactively supported the oil and gas industry during his tenure as governor. The recent sudden storm surges from the flooding have been tied to the destruction of the marshlands, which if present, would act much like a massive sponge and absorb the rainfall, thus preventing the destructive, sudden rise in water levels following the rains. As you can see in this map, this area where the bayou destruction is happening is exactly this area where the flooding occurred( http://www.nola.com/environment/index.ssf/2016/08/louisiana_flood_map.html). Jindal has played a very active role in this--see: https://thinkprogress.org/gov-bobby-jindal-quashes-lawsuit-against-97-oil-and-gas-companies-for-years-of-destroying-wetlands-3fe043101ba7.
