I have noticed that some large topics on wikipedia have a "portal" on the upper right of all their pages with links to related topics. For example, Psychology has one of these portals. Does Public Policy have such a portal? If not, might it be possible to make one?

Apparently, we are supposed to add some pictures/graphs to this page. I suggest the graph at opensecrets for starters.

I like that idea. We can also use the logo of the different associations that help "watchdog"? Chlopeck ( talk) 01:33, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Sandbox for Testing (Chlopeck's Sandbox)
As discussed in our lab, even though the chart looks great, you need to cite the source. You have not done so. Jaobar ( talk) 01:00, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh gosh! I'm sorry. I just copy and pasted from our sandbox and didn't realize that they weren't changed. We are definitely not trying to disrespect in any way, we really appreciate your input, it was just a misunderstanding! Sorry!! Chlopeck ( talk) 17:05, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Could someone possibly make it clear, in the lede, that this (apparently) refers specifically to American politics - or, put the term used elsewhere into context? Presently, it reads from an entirely American viewpoint.
If the article does intend to focus on a specific American term, that's fine - but it needs to state that, and give some indication that that is what is being discussed. See WP:WORLDVIEW. Chzz ► 01:02, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey! I was wondering what else you think needs to be improved to move us up on the quality scale? Any topics to discuss,etc? Chlopeck ( talk) 01:17, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
This page is really coming along, what do you think of the image I added of the commissioner? I will be adding the revolving door tonight, and expanding on the spending a bit more upon Prof. Obar's recommendation that the money aspect is the most attractive.

Hi, just was wondering when this article will be appearing in the Did You Know feed. Been a few days. Jaobar ( talk) 21:02, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
I copyedited the section about Jeffrey Stockey. I removed the section about Jack Abramoff because the source cited, SourceWatch, is not considered a reliable source by consensus (see the discussion here). Maybe you can glean reliable sources from the citations found in the SourceWatch article? Bejinhan talks 05:59, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
