To-do list for Harriet Miers:
None of this needs doing. This todo should be deleted. |
On the entry for Karl Rove there is a box showing her as the previous Deputy White House Chief of Staff. There should be similar box here, with her predecessor, and Rove as her successor. -- grr 08:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I reverted the removal of links on bare years. Editor claimed there was no use, since years have no "date preference" settings. I contend that the bare year links exist to link to the pages for the years in question, placing the article, and its timeline, in historical context; and that such links have nothing to do with date preferences. I will agree, however, with anyone who wants to go through and ensure that each year is linked only once, or once per header section. I don't have time right now. -- Kgf0
What does the "Republican tremors" link have anything to do with Miers? --(non-Wiki editor)
I believe this: "As of January 4th, 2006, she has submitted her resignation from the position"
Should be changed to: January 4th, 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.207.165.23 ( talk) 19:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
Why don't you just change it then? Mowens35 19:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
This is a widening scandal, but there is now email evidence that Miers suggested, in 2005, that the Attorney General, via the White House, remove and replace all 97 U.S. Attorneys. They didn't heed her adice, but did fire 8 U.S. Attorneys, all Democrats, all with positive job evaluations, and replaced them without Congressional confrimation.
Here's the link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031201818_pf.html
and now it looks like the white house is retreating from this position:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/16/AR2007031601046.html
"The White House retreated today from its claim that former counsel Harriet E. Miers first came up with the idea of firing U.S. attorneys, another apparent shift in the Bush administration's evolving version of events behind the controversy."

Is it like "meers" or "meyers"? -- AW ( talk) 21:16, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
The opening line reads
While I grant there's an odd irony, the opening paragraph makes it sound as if her crowning achievement is her resignation. Can't we do better than that?
(BTW, for this section, I added the year to a date where it wasn't clear and used international dates, because the article may be of international interest.)

There is no information to whether she is married, single, or divorced. Is she a lesbian? Or a single mother? User F203 ( talk) 16:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Article looks very nice. The prose for the most part has citations and sources. I rated the article B because it appears to meet the
requirements. You might look at an FA or another article to see how a Notes or References section can be done without external links inline. Different editors have different preferences for citations (I use something like
this). Best wishes. -
