Untitled[edit]

Very biased account, including many falsehoods. The 'Jew' remark is especially appalling as Bob has always been a very strong friend of Israel and, on a personal level, has never demonstrated any anti-Semitic views.

A factual, non-biased account of Bob and his career would have been appreciated.

Nobody's stopping you from editing it if you feel that it's too biased -- even if the authors are presenting facts about his career. The bias is presented by Dornan's own words. Feel free to provide information about his accomplishments.The Invisible Man 01:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you would not appreciate a factual, unbiased account, because that's exactly what you're objecting to. -- Jibal (talk) 16:53, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone through and repaired the record on many accounts. Dornan didn't hit Downey, he grabbed his tie. He didn't say "shut up fag," his wife did. His loss to Sanchez was as much about changing demographics as about Dornan's politics. Added info on his television and Hollywood career. The guy said more than enough outrageous things without having the errors. He may be a supporter of Israel, but he did make the reference about Vladimir Posner, the Russian journalist.

His loss was more likely due to spending too much time on his presidential longshot and not enough on campaigning locally.

NPOV and unsourced tags[edit]

This article contains a lot of NPOV violations, in addition to not citing any sources for quotes and accounts. --NEMT 21:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't. -- Jibal (talk) 16:55, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any unsourced quotes or information, particularly defamatory and derogatory information that might be considered libelous or slanderous needs to be deleted immediately per policy.--Tbeatty 02:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you specify exactly what's NPOV about this article now? Gamaliel 14:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the controversy of the ineligible voters is downplayed too much in this article. A NOPV article might mention that (1) Ms. Sanchez won by 984 votes, (2) an investigation uncovered the fact that non-citizens did vote, though it could only confirm (as I recall) 300-some of those votes, and (3) the organization that illegally registered the non-citizens, Hermandad Nacional Mexicana, registered over 2,000 new voters before the 1996 election, though the citizenship status of all 2,000 cannot be verified one way or the other. The article also states that "after a long period of time" Sanchez was allowed to take her seat. As far as I can recall Congresswoman Sanchez was sworn in along with the rest of the 105th Congress. Unfortunatly I have not been able to find good NPOV sourcing for any of this. Jvward 23:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's been no discussion or significant editing for several weeks, I'm removing the NPOV tag. Such tags were not meant to remain indefinately. Gamaliel 23:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Shutupfag.gif[edit]

Image:Shutupfag.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Lesbian[edit]

The article quotes Dornan talking about a "lesbian spear chucker". This links to a list of racial slurs; but from the context I assume he was talking about the stereotype of female professionals being butch. The source mentions it only in passing. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
