Birth name[edit]

Are we to believe that his parents named him "Chip"? Or is it more likely that for some reason he elected to call himself by this name? Either way - this article needs that information. Davidpatrick (talk) 04:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP[edit]

Please remember WP:BLP applies to this article and users must only properly sourced material and ensure it's a balanced article with a NPOV. For this reason I've again removed the second paragraph until further changes are made. Please also avoid weasel words or irrelevant material such as what Bill Clinton did.

ButgerH is entirely correct. To expand on this, please see: WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and WP:REF. Also, WP:Talk may help you understand the long-standing practice of 1-revert, and then discussion on the talk page to develop consensus. At this point, I believe the article is getting close to a needed brief page protection (semi), until IP users adhere to standards and norms. — Ched ~ ^(yes?)/_© 08:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
