Bot-created subpage[edit]

A temporary subpage at User:Polbot/fjc/Brian Edward Sandoval was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 20:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This information was merged into the main article on the subject. Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 21:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the Article issues template[edit]

Significant citations and edits were made to the main article that should merit removal of the "Article issues" tag on the main article. Unless there is objection in the next 48 hours, I'm going to remove the tag. If you have any objections, please list them below. Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 21:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the Article issues box seeing that there have been no objections to removing the warning. Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on Arizona S.B. 1070[edit]

"It wasn't long ago that [Sandoval] said in an interview on Univision that he vehemently supported Arizona's anti-immigrant law. In reference to the same law, he was asked how he would feel if he his children were stopped in the street and asked for their papers. He answered, with a note of pride in his voice, 'my children don't look Hispanic.'" ^[1]

I'm bad with wiki style so someone else should add this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.160.84.1 (talk) 00:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph of Sandoval[edit]

I'm having trouble understanding Wikipedia's rules for photographs. The photo in this document http://www.nvd.uscourts.gov/Files/DC_Report2006AALL.pdf#page=7&pagemode=none seems to be a work by the U.S. government, meaning that the photo can be used within Wikipedia, but the document says "© 2006 - U.S. District Court. All rights reserved". So I'm not sure whether the photograph can be used within Wikipedia. Can anyone help with this? Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 22:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy Section[edit]

Nevada Department Of Taxation[edit]

The following section appears to refer to events that happen prior to the subject becoming Governor of Nevada.

The Sandoval administration retained Nevada Department of Taxation Director Dino DiCianno from the previous Jim Gibbons administration;^[1] however, it was discovered in hearings state legislative hearings that DiCianno, director of the Nevada Department of Taxation, never had the tax department under Gibbon's leadership conduct Net Proceeds of Minerals (NPM) tax audits of mining operations in the state. DiCianno's said that the tax department did not have qualified auditors capable of performing audits. DiCianno's retired the day after testifying before the Nevada legislature.^[2]

Since this section is not about the subject of the article, I am removing it from the main article.VegasBaby1776 (talk) 05:08, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

State Integrity Investigation Report[edit]

There is no substantive mention of the subject in the citation provided. Almost the entire citation discusses issues surrounding events that occurred prior to the subject taking office, or circumstances surrounding Nevada's citizen legislature.

After one year into his term as Governor, the state of Nevada received a "D-" and ranked 42nd among states for anti-corruption and government transparency efforts, according to a new report from State Integrity Investigation.^[3]

Nevada received a "D-" and ranked 42nd among states for anti-corruption and government transparency efforts, according to a new report from State Integrity Investigation. Nevada rated poorly in a number of areas, including grades of "F" for state pension fund management, lobbying disclosure and internal auditing, grades of "D" for public access to information and legislative accountability and a "C-" for executive accountability.

While I preserved this section to allow for future review, this section needs to be immediately removed from the article due to WP:BLPSOURCES and WP:BLPREMOVE issues.VegasBaby1776 (talk) 05:38, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gun Rights Advocate[edit]

The claim that Sandoval is a gun rights advocate needs to have a source (either inline or elsewhere in the article), per WP:verifiability. Please provide a source for support if you want to add this category link.CFredkin (talk) 17:15, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait[edit]

This edit changing Sandoval's portrait to a picture with Reid seems completely inappropriate. What's the rationale?CFredkin (talk) 05:04, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Section blanking by User:Nevadaupdates[edit]

Bringing this to talk page for attention since this article will likely be flooded by edits in the upcoming days. Recently a large criticism section of this this article was removed by User:Nevadaupdates as "inaccurate representation". [1] I didn't revert for BLP reasons, since I'm not familiar with Sandoval's politics, but this may be part of a whitewashing effort. Them From Space 19:22, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it is related, but this edit seems to have angered Sandoval and possibly influenced events. Source, middle of the page: "A month later, Rive went to see the governor." TGCP (talk) 21:54, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Solar - rooftop versus industrial[edit]

The section Brian Sandoval#Solar issues is written mainly from the point of view of the rooftop solar owners and industry, corresponding with The Alliance for Solar Choice. The section fails to include views of consumers that owns no solar. Regardless, the section should concentrate on how it is related to Sandoval, and leave the bigger picture to other articles such as Solar issues in Nevada and/or Solar power in Nevada - possibly Net energy metering. TGCP (talk) 07:13, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems odd that the Nevada grid can handle some 800 MW of industrial solar, but not more than 235 MW of private. TGCP (talk) 07:21, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
