This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. Because of this, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism. |

I made a few simple edits for grammar, spelling and to clarify the story being told regarding the attempted bombing of Harry Reid's car. The section on the 2008 convention needs to be completely rewritten since it's confusing. I'll read the article that's posted as a reference and see if I can figure out what the original author was trying to say but I'm new so if someone else wants to run with it-go for it.-- Bettykin ( talk) 07:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)Bettykin
there is much missing from this article, such as the news account of her desire to remove the abortion plank from the republican platform, her numerous votes to raise taxes while in the nevada legislature, and her campaign donations to Harry Reid and the fact that she voted for Harry Reid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.212.126.170 ( talk • contribs)
Fortunately, Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone (even you!) can edit. Feel free to add content you feel is missing, along with citations supporting it so that others can verify the material. DMacks ( talk) 17:55, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Took out "Supports Isreal" as NPOV, cite, ambiguity (what does "support" mean? what does "Israel" mean?) WhiskeyJuvenile ( talk) 18:24, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Reverted conversion from standard footnotes to "general references" format. The edit summary for the conversion said it will facilitate future edits and article expansion. How? The separate section had no apparent organization differing from the "as used" sequence found in the existing footnotes system. If the subject were so notable she had five scholarly biographies written about her, and these were extensively cited, there might be an advantage in the general format, or a mixed format. As it is, the major change to editing I see if the general format were adopted is to make section editing a tremendous PIA. Fat&Happy ( talk) 01:09, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
The primary reasons for moving the "Policies" section and the two sections about recent controversies under the "Senate run" section were:
As to the combination of bio and personal life sections, I don't much care either way. From my personal observations, in most BLPs the historical biography seems to be near the beginning, with a separate "Personal life" or "Family life" section further down, but I don't have a strong enough preference to change it back. Fat&Happy ( talk) 01:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
When I began improving this article recently, mostly to update the polling, I was disappointed to find very few good references. As much as 80% of the article was copied from "About Sue" on the campaign website, including the adjectives and adverbs!
Campaign websites aren't NPOV. Worse, for an encyclopedia, those sites often disappear after the election.

Other than the campaign website, I've not been able to verify that she lives in Las Vegas. All the other references I've found say
Carson City, Nevada. Does anybody have verification that she's moved to Las Vegas, like an actual address?

Somebody recently removed other details that I'd found:
We still don't have a birth day, although I've found the month. Anybody else have better luck?

This is an article about a controversial public figure, during an election. This is a living person. Please don't use words like "Lowden's infamous suggestion". Worse, removing the internal link prevents folks finding the section!
And please don't use a summary of "ce". That was way more than a copy edit!

Seems to be a lot missing from article that I found, but from editing an article of her opponent and learning about Lowden, this thing is way too much of a hot potato to get involved in. I did some cleanup here, but am wondering what the value is of the historical poll data. Maybe other than the most recent poll data that I added, poll data would be more appropriate for
. Thankfully, the article notes that the election will be over June 8, 2010, so that should cool it down for a while. Dougieb ( talk) 10:38, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
What is she (or what is she DOING) now? Everything in the lede is 'former former former'. 209.121.209.52 ( talk) 21:18, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
