He says on his blog, that he's not born in America, but in the UK.
"A few weeks ago, I started recording a new podcast with a dear friend of mine, called “From the Outside In.” The title has a double meaning. My co-host and I are French-born and British-born naturalized American citizens and patriots. Not only, then, are we “from the outside (France and the UK) in (USA)” – but also our perspectives are “from the outside in.” We comment on American politics and culture in ways informed by our experiences in other parts of the world."

This article doesn't discuss that he is an anarchist, other than the tag at the bottom. More specifically, he is an Anarcho-Capitalist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.230.125 ( talk) 19:38, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
Jeffrey Tucker is from Texas, which is of course in the US. This means that he ought not have a stub tag citing his entry as one detailing a "European writer." I just personally confirmed his place of origin with him via AIM about 2 minutes ago. Dick Clark 22:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I removed an assertion that Tucker is Roman Catholic. He is, without a doubt, Roman Catholic, but someone needs to find a source that indicates that this is a notable fact about him. I also removed him Cat:Palelibertarians because a) no source for the addition was provided, and b) he personally vehemently objects to being called such. While (b) is original research, I believe that (particularly with living subjects) those making positive claims bear the burden of citing sources that live up to WP:RS, and hence that point (a) is sufficient cause for the cat to be removed. I note the results of my own original research not for use as a direct source, but rather as an "off the record" sort of pointer to those who want to delve further and may need a bit of a push in the right direction. DickClarkMises 17:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
While he has never explicitly called himself a paleolibertarian, if you read through some of his archive at lewrockwell.com, he really sounds like he's ideologically closer to one than Lew Rockwell is now, or even 5 years ago.
It looks, sounds, and acts like a duck, folks.

Before noticing that a "JATucker" had added the info that Jeffrey Tucker is "publisher and executive editor of Laissez Faire Books" I changed it to just editor per an actual source, i.e., Agora Financial which now owns Laissez Faire. As I note, the link itself is blacklisted for wikipedia for whatever reason. Anyway, if Tucker is in fact the/or a publisher as well and a reliable source can be found that can be added. Let's stick by wikipedia rules on WP:Reliable sources.
As it happens just saw Tucker on RussiaToday and he did a good job and certainly doesn't seem like the type of fellow who would write bad things in Ron Paul newsletters as the Economist (only?) alleged in 2008. Probably not noteworthy enough to be in the article. I'll let others decide. (It would be nice if the author(s) did throw themselves upon public mercy and breast beat etc etc ala Senator Byrd, but whatever. Sigh. End of soapbox.) CarolMooreDC 23:23, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
The Reason magazine article says: "Virkkala .. told [R]eason that the names behind the Political Report were widely known ... because ... Bradford, had discussed the newsletters with the principals, and then with his staff. 'I understood that Burton S. Blumert was the moneybags ...' Virkkala said. "... Tucker, assistant, probably a writer; ..." So, this is Sanchez & Weigel saying that Virkkala says that Bradford says that Tucker was probably a writer. The American Spectator post by Lord is based on a blog comment attributed to Dondero. (And Dondero's knowledge is probably limited to his understanding, at the receiving end, of what was going on. But we don't have verification one way or the other in this regard.) This information is a far cry from being a reliably sourced verification that Tucker had "a substantial role" with the newsletters. It should be removed. – S. Rich ( talk) 16:40, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
The newsletter material in the article clearly invites the reader to jump to conclusions that are beyond what the evidence supports. Even assuming that these blog sources are reliable sources, the claims of those interviewed were limited to assertions that Tucker was involved with the RP newsletter (at some point over its decades-long run), not that he had any specific involvement with the particular newsletters that contained race-baiting. The sources are offered as if they speak to an "alleged role" in the creation of the controversial newsletters, and they do not. This is a biographical article about a living person, and this newsletter section gives undue weight to a poorly supported and poorly reasoned thesis that conflicts with the more thorough, better-sourced coverage at Ron Paul newsletters. DickClarkMises ( talk) 20:00, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Timothy Wirkman Virkkala, ... told reason that ... Liberty's late editor-in-chief, Bill Bradford, had discussed the newsletters with the principals, and then with his staff. "I understood that Burton S. Blumert was the moneybags that got all this started, that he was the publisher," Virkkala said. "Lew Rockwell, editor and chief writer; Jeff Tucker, assistant, probably a writer; Murray Rothbard, cheering from the sidelines, probably ghosting now and then."
Added section appears to be a selection of quotes from old newsletters chosen to present a certain POV, ignoring the overabundance of more recent and relevant material. BLP policy does not permit non-neutral material to be left on a BLP page while it is improved. LiberatorG ( talk) 19:17, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
The solution as I've stated is to add more quotes, not delete the section. You keep citing wiki instructions, but they don't support what you're doing. "Consensus refers to the primary way decisions are made on Wikipedia, and it is accepted as the best method to achieve our goals, i. e., to achieve our five pillars. Consensus on Wikipedia does not mean unanimity (which, although an ideal result, is not always achievable); nor is it the result of a vote. Decision-making involves an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns". Incorporate your concerns by introducing your own quotes. Deleting is not a collaborative effort. Also, quotes aren't "non-neutral". It's objective fact that these quotes are his. They are cited. Theknightswhosay ( talk) 00:46, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm tired of seeing edits that refer to consensus. Editors putting something up only for them to be removed by other editors is not consensus. I have tried without success to elicit other quotes. I have also agreed that to streamline this article there should be a wikiquote page where new quotes can be added. Instead of responding positively to these suggestions and collaborating to make a better article, I'm just getting accused of violating and circumventing the rules. Once again, consensus does not mean editors have the right to silence other editors just because the first group might be more numerous. I'm the one trying to work with people here.
