m [John Culberson]; 22:06:28 . . Thepedestrian (Talk) (putting back the texas house cat, since culberson was indeed a member (read the article maybe?)) Sorry about that, Ped. I was updating his current status, and didn't realize that we wanted to keep past biography information as well. I have a databse full of Texas House and Senate members going back about 10 years. Would you like for me to propose some backfill information on them? weide 13:24, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I removed an edit that included one of the opponent's campaign sites, as well as language that was almost surely trying to make readers look kindly upon him. I don't necessarily disagree with including the sites of his opposers, but there should be links to both or neither to stay in line with WP:NPOV. Seqsea ( talk) 05:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
This article to me does not appear to follow NPOV guidelines. The language used is rather slanted in places (ex: "While opposed to forms of public transportation that would immediately remove cars from Houston's roads, Culberson continues to throw 100's of millions of dollars into projects to build bigger roads for bigger cars resulting in dirtier air and a hotter climate."), and the entirely negative focus of the entire second half of the article is curious. I am not a regular wikipedia editor (and I know nothing about Culbertson), but I think this article definitely needs the note. Seasleepy 03:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

There are - as of now - 7 candidates with 2 more likey.
CD 7 had he biggest drop in Rep over Dem voters from 2012 to 2016 in the country. 50.192.95.89 ( talk) 17:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
The source cites 3 congressmen for and 3 against the earmarks rule change. Plus quotes from other groups.
Plus the line : " Members of the Texas GOP delegation, who typically vote in tandem, are split on the issue so far."
It is not a very well written article, the cites and references could be fisked out individually but since the data is all there is it really necessary?

As a side note, it appears that the initial reference is copied in whole from: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2016/11/22/texas-republican-wants-bring-earmarks-back-washington without proper attribution.

The two references supplied [1] [2] do not support the suggestion that this chap attended this school.
Obviously I would be overjoyed to be proven wrong… TIA HAND — Phil | Talk 14:40, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
I have now twice removed a sentence three times that says, "Culberson did not comment after the release of the
Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape." The source for this is dated two days after the release of the tape and it does say at that point he hadn't commented. It does not say that at any point after that he did not comment. The first time I was reverted saying that to remove it I had to find a source that says he did comment. I am not saying that he did comment or that he didn't comment just that the source does not verify what the sentence says. The sentence could be rewritten something like "Culberson did not comment within the first two days after the release of the
Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape." I don't think that belongs either though.

this doesnt have encyclopedic value. before adding content, please consider whether the content that you're adding is notable, says something about the subject of the Wikipedia article and has long-term encyclopedic value.This sentence says nothing about Culberson other than he didn't comment about a video. What is the encyclopedic value of this sentence? ~ GB fan 20:28, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Many other Representatives who lost re-nomination or re-election have a note to this effect in the lead section (in addition to infoboxes, electoral history sections, and so on). I'll go ahead and add one here, too. Airbornemihir ( talk) 21:39, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
