(moved from User talk:Dhartung) Regarding your at the Jesse Jackson, Jr. page. Is it really necessary to retain the old photo of him? It seems rather odd to have before-and-after weight-loss images of a US Congressman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaser ( talk • contribs)
You know what would be pretty sweet....If Barack Obama wins the presidential nomination that Jesse Jackson Jr Would be his runing mate for Vice-pressident. That would be sweet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.96.172.5 ( talk) 15:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
needs to be merged/prosified within the article in order to forbid trivial information in order to gain a GA status. miranda 02:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I have reorganized the 2006+ section along the lines of 2001-06. I've shifted other material around - his martial arts enthusiasm and his spat in Congress has gone into Personal, and a couple of items in the personal section have been repositioned in political sections. This article has a life of its own - it's grown to over 6,300 words, and I've no doubt you have more stuff up your sleeve. So I'm calling a halt to this review.
The article is in my view of GA standard. Ideally I would like to give it a thorough copyedit, because I don't think that the prose is quite right yet. I did a bit of editing when I was shifting stuff around, but it needs a lot more. Also, if it was up to me, I'd look for a way of losing a thousand words of text. The reason is, as I indicated before, there's a lot more mileage in Jesse Jr's career so the article is bound to expand, perhaps (anticipating Obama's victory in November) quite soon. Although I understand your desire to have as much of his career recorded as possible, I'm not sure a Wikipedia article is the best means for this. Perhaps you should write a biography.
So we disagree on certain things but that hasn't stopped us working things out. I am sure that the article is a lot better than it was when the review started. On to peer review, then, and I shall be interested to see how that debate develops.
As a matter of formality: the article passes all six GA criteria. Four of these are shoo-ins - verifiability, breadth, stability and images. As to the other two, the article is well-written enough to pass, but I think the prose could be improved. Also there is danger to readabilty in the presentation of too many facts. As to neutrality, the article's tone is very supportive of Jackson Jr, without clearly breaching POV in my view, but others might feel differntly.
I'm off to promote the article now. Good luck for its future. Brianboulton ( talk) 00:09, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
At WP:NORN I was told that if no other source is available, I could use biographical information contained in A More Perfect Union: Advancing New American Rights as a source of last resort for early biographical detail.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 13:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I updated to the latest template (a few more fields) and removed the Black Congressional Caucus links as their 'profile' simply links to Jackson's official government site. Flatterworld ( talk) 04:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I have added some speculation and cite from AP and Yahoo. Please discuss before erasing it. Bearian ( talk) 01:39, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
This sentence could use some, um, grammar fixes. Cirt ( talk) 09:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
I would suggest seperate articles to downsize the main article. I would suggest doing an Early life of Jesse Jackson, Jr., Early career of Jesse Jackson, Jr.(covering his pre-US congressional career]], U.S. congressional career of Jesse Jackson, Jr., and maybe a Personal life of Jesse Jackson, Jr.-- Levineps ( talk) 17:04, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I just removed some words in the introductory paragraph referring to Jackson as "Prince Jesse Louis Jackson, Jr." of the Agni people. I think that this topic should be discussed on this talk page before any additional edits on this topic are made. Penthamontar ( talk) 07:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Federal officeholders in the United States cannot accept titles from foreign royalty or from foreign states without Congressional consent per the Title of Nobility Clause in the United States Constitution; no known source states that such consent has been given. I think that this subject does not deserve mention in the article at hand at this time. Penthamontar ( talk) 08:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Well Jackson was named among the 15 most corrupt people by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. [1] The article is well structured so I would ask where this should be included? Richard ( talk) 19:21, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
This is supposedly an article about a US Rep, yet his Committee assignments (you know - his actual JOB) are buried at the very end. Was it the intention of the contributors to make him look like the ultimate political hack? I see that some above are claiming it's a propaganda piece for him, but imo it makes him look ridiculous. The structure (sequential) is appropriate for someone no longer in politics, but not for a sitting US Rep. Flatterworld ( talk) 18:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
A section about his political views would be good. Abortion, marijuana, war on terror, health reform.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.78.112.209 ( talk) 19:35, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Jackson is currently (July 10, 2012) in a Leave of Absence for an undisclosed medical (or psychological) ailment that has currently lasted over one month. This is easily sourced information, but is it as yet important enough to include in this article, or should we wait? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.165.61.69 ( talk) 21:42, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
Why is there a sentence in this article saying that Mr. Jackson once saved his father from on allergic reaction and asthma attack by blocking an AC vent pointed towards him? In what sense is this considered a notable event in either party's life? Sounds like something a fanboy magazine would include. Must be removed. 24.60.214.65 ( talk) 01:57, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Is Jackson's resignation immediate? or does it have to be approved by Governor Quinn. GoodDay ( talk) 05:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
