Right now the information about Jefferson's ongoing legal woes heavily outweighs the rest of this article. I was wondering if perhaps we can create a seperate article about Jefferson and his family's legal problems instead of flooding the article on the man with it, as done with other indicted politcians, like Tom DeLay, especially as his trial begins tomorrow.

Another article should be created called Jefferson Crime Family. SarahJaneSmith ( talk) 22:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
This would be a good model for an all-encompassing article on the Jefferson family and the current New Orleans City Council affairs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_political_corruption_probe —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockules318 ( talk • contribs) 16:24, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
wondering if the article can be more clear why jefferson is facing a long prison time when he was never seen as physically dangerous or as a repeat offender? the existence of other possible sentences for jefferson justifies the discussion here i think. 98.154.255.43 ( talk) 10:56, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
When I was looking into the disambiguation of Roger Johnson, I came across the following reference, which I used to cite the electoral results of that election:
The section "Electoral history" was unreferenced until I added this; I suspect that, if someone wants to take the time, this book will serve as a reference for all of these electoral results. TJRC ( talk) 01:07, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
As an aside, this section wikilinks most of Jefferson's opponents, but as a rule, these unsuccessful candidates are not sufficiently notable for an Wikipedia article, and should probably be unlinked (at least one, Jon Johnson, is a mislink to an unrelated article).
