how can cobb have had a law practice during the 80s if he graduated from law school in 1993? (a fact that is verified using cobb's bio on his site) Thepedestrian 16:02, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Reverting to remove the following POV (and ungrammatical) edit: Numerous rank and file Green Party members who voted for pro-Nader candidates in the primaries were stunned by the outcome, particularly in California and New York were the most numerous Green Party voters reside. They cried foul saying that some electors at the convention failed to represent their preference for a Nader/Camejo ticket. Attempts to allow the Green Party to endorse ballot lines for both Cobb and Nader failed. Some concluded that Green Party unity was broken at the convention, while others strove to recusitate it by later working to clarify party rules and make party democracy more transparent. The same edit was added to Peter Camejo, apparently by a Camejo partisan; "numerous...members" are cited, "some electors" were faulted, and a false dichotomy is set up at the end. - Scooter 03:44, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure why Ben Manski made the last edit that he did. Some of what he reverted was NPOV, but some seemed like legitimate facts - like Cobb's standing in primaries after the convention. It seems to me that this page (and most of all the GPUSA page) need to acknowledge both sides of the controversy around the convention, and right now summarize the arguments only for one side, Cobb's. I understand that Ben Manski believes the other side's arguments to be flawed, but surely they must be acknowledged. Catsv 18:00, 14 January 2006 (UTC)catsv
"David Cobb shrieking at a crowd at the annual Fighting Bob Fest in Baraboo, Wisconsin, September 2004" ... "shrieking" doesn't sound like NPOV to me. Arbiter125 22:29, Jan 30, 2006 (UTC)
Continued use of: "which is run by an unelected Steering Committee completely unaccountable to organization members." in various spots on this page looks to me like POV. First, I'm not sure that it's relvanet information. If another page is created about Cobb's organization then it might pass for a controversy piece. But, as far as I understand many political groups are made up of unelected boards, so I'm not sure that this is anything special or interesting. Second, if it is in fact important information then it can be stated differently, such as: "some organization members take issue with the decisions of the steering commitee of the organization, which is an unelected body." Of course, a statement of this manner should have some truth to it. While "unelected" is a fact that can be easily supported or refuted, statements like "completely unaccountable" are terms that have many different meanings to many different people. I take it as a very strong statement of dissatisfaction within the organization, and as such it should only be stated this way with strong evidence to back up such a claim. -- Metatree 08:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
The recent changes made by 165.121.198.166 on the unelected steering committee issue are improved in comparison to earlier versions, thus I have opted to leave them be. I would still like to see some justification of the statements, either here on the talk page or as citations on the main page. -- Metatree 13:40, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks to Ben Manski for checking facts. There is now no justifcation for the steering committee comments from anonymous users.-- Metatree 00:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Image:David Cobb.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 10:30, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: move ( closed by non-admin page mover) DannyS712 ( talk) 01:35, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
– The subject currently sitting at the ambiguous title as the de facto primary topic may have been a United States presidential candidate in 2004 for the Green Party of the United States, but per the page view comparison, this subject is clearly not the primary topic, and neither is there one. At best, the current de facto primary topic may have been looked up during their campaign, but their notability compared to other "David Cobb" subjects has waned during the previous 15-or-so years.
