If there is a reason that sourced and cited factual information should be deleted from this entry, I would hope that advocates of that position make their case on this talk page rather than removing the material that they consider "superfluous" and "malicious".
I would consider any reasoned argument, but vandalizing this entry to bury unpleasant facts is a violation of Wikipedia's dispute resolution policy. Austinmayor 14:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
The central flaw of Wikipedia is the ability of peeved individuals to heap scorn on figures they don't like -- monitoring needs to be improved so that biographies of controversial figures do not become bathroom walls for the airing of biases and the settling of scores.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.238.5.75 ( talk • contribs).
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Neil Steinberg/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Steinberg's column about his attempted gun purchase [1] is notable. He was rejected because of his, "admitted history of alcohol abuse, and a charge for domestic battery involving his wife." [2] This should be mentioned on his page. Omegapimp ( talk) 08:59, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Should a controversy section be added? Recently Steinberg made waves with calls for him to lose his assignment at the Sun Times after the Sun Times featured Sen Tammy Duckworth on it's July 2,2018 cover returning to work after maternity leave. Steinberg tweeted " Duckworth is one of the least inspiring senators ever to luck her way into higher office. A nice enough person, but weak-tea and tepid and likely to drift out of the Senate on the same sort of accidental breeze that floated her in." Duckworth, who carried a baby to term, is the US Senator, the first female double amputee from the Iraq war, losing both her legs.
I also think the AR-15 purchase attempt should be added to the controversy section instead of personal life. P37307 ( talk) 00:07, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
