Even though I disagree with Senator Dodd on almost every issue I wrote this article for a reason much more important than Dodd. I wrote this article to demonstrate the rigors of the campaign schedule that all candidates face. I wanted to show what it was like to be on the campaign trail.-- S TX 06:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
You might want to double check your info for Sept. 3rd. There's a Waterloo NH and IA too. -- Kendrick7 talk 22:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes it is duplicated [1] Thanks for pointing that out.-- S TX 23:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Political positions should be at the top. There'd be no point in a campaign if he didn't have any positions, and it's what a lot of readers are going to be looking for first off. -- Kendrick7 talk 20:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Image:Bbcnews24 bhuttokilled.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm wondering why there are so many photos of Dodd's political opponents on this page. I know that he has ended his bid, but it seems unfair to put photos (essentially advertising) of these folks on his article. This practice doesn't seem to be followed in Hillary or Obama's articles. I just wanted to check in before I remove these photos.-- RedShiftPA ( talk) 01:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I removed the photos that are not Chris Dodd-related. User User:Southern Texas seems to be experimenting with a new format for this article. I don';t think that is appropriate for this article. I returned it to the standard wikipedia format.-- RedShiftPA ( talk) 23:23, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not for you to write an article and then fit in all the possible fotos that could remotely be connected with the subject matter. You can do that on your own website. Next thing you know we have an article with hundreds of pictures. Re-adding the removed pictures is considered vandalism. You have been warned. -- Datang ( talk) 14:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted the removal of all the images again. Not sure why this keeps occurring. -- Kendrick7 talk 21:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I tagged this article for peer review to see what some other editors thought about the format and focus of this article. Click here for the results.-- RedShiftPA ( talk) 03:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I found this to be a very interesting article that is within reach of becoming GA. Please consider taking the following guidelines into account:
# Is it well written?
# Is it factually accurate?
# Is it broad in its coverage?
# Is it NPOV?
# Is it stable?
# Are there images?
Anyway, I think these problems can be solved within a week. I will check back then and feel free to notify me in the meantime. Best, Happyme22 ( talk) 04:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
A compromise version that satisfies everybody's concerns can be found at User:Southern Texas/Sandbox.-- S TX 00:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Over the past few weeks [2] there has been some back and forth reverting to long versions of this article and shorter versions. The long version goes into far greater detail, but is it too much detail for a general encyclopedia? We should really discuss this before going back and forth any more. It's currently in a short version. If it's decided we want the long version, we can always go back. So what do you think? Mahalo. -- Ali'i 13:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
The long version is fine, per WP:PRESERVE. Most of the long parts of the long version is hidden from the reader via the collapsed templates, so it's not a readability issue. Length is not an issue because WP:Wikipedia is not paper, nor would it be prudent to split the material off into another article per WP:SS and WP:UNDUE, as this is clearly the article where the material would belong, and there's little point in having multiple sub-articles. -- Kendrick7 talk 17:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
This is not a pokeman article and what the candidate ate for lunch or what toothpaste he used is not being discussed. Please stop being disruptive.-- William Saturn ( talk) 16:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
This needs to stop, people. -- Kendrick7 talk 18:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't see why WP:LENGTH is an issue here. Even at 40K editors won't be able to read the whole page on a 4 year old cell phone, so deleting half the article really makes little difference to whatever handful of editors would have that problem. Readability concerns were addressed months ago by putting the tables in the hide/show boxes, and yet the battle continues into a fifth month. WP:PRESERVE is a policy upon which I will not compromise on this article. -- Kendrick7 talk 16:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
