Untitled[edit]

How could he have lived in Rhode Island his "whole life" and have worked as a lawyer in DC? Did he work in a Rhode Island office of a Washington based firm?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.167.100.82 (talk) 13:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because Sen. Reed Makes Much of His Airborne/Ranger Training, It Seems Quite Legitimate to Point Out That He Spent the Vietnam War in College[edit]

Senator Reed never fails to mention West Point and his Airborne/Ranger training. However, Sen. Reed did his military service safely in college at West Point and in graduate school. Only when the Vietnam War was over did he even serve in a non-classroom military capacity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.147.246 (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Military question[edit]

He served 20 years active and reserve -- does anyone know if he retired from the Army? I can't imagine that he didn't, but want to be sure. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 13:57, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

– I just came across this page, and Talk:Jack_Reed_(Rhode_Island_politician)#Requested_move_12_June_2017, and I'm shocked by it. "Incomplete disambiguation" was the reason given for putting two pages on the same level that shouldn't be. Jack Reed of Rhode Island is a U.S. Senator. Jack Reed of Mississippi never held any elected office. As one of the two editors who commented on the June 2017 RM noted, this Jack Reed is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name "Jack Reed". – Muboshgu (talk) 05:04, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose fails the "Jack Reed was" test. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @In ictu oculi: See WP:GHITS. Applies to move discussions as well as deletion discussions, as there is no "X was" parameter in our guidelines. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. No clear primary topic here. American politicians are not the be all and end all and do not automatically take precedence over everyone else; there are seven entries on the list. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Necrothesp: It's the page views that demonstrate that he is the primary topic over the other Jack Reed's. I should have included that in my initial reasoning. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would cite WP:RECENTISM. Serving politicians tend to get lots of mentions and views online. But remember that most of us outside the USA have never heard of him. He's only a senator, not a world leader. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:18, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Necrothesp: You or the general person are more likely to know a U.S. federal politician who has served over 20 years with notable accomplishments than a U.S. state level politician who never won elected office, or a rugby union player, or a baseball player, or the journalist (I think). – Muboshgu (talk) 14:27, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • Not really. Most of us (even in the US) have probably never heard of any of them. Hence the reason for it best staying as a dab page. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:29, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hazardous, squalid housing of American military families[edit]

An anonymous editor user:74.102.230.90 keeps inserting a negative claim against Reed that with regards to the hazardous, squalid housing of American military families Sen. Reed "faced scrutiny from Reuters investigative journalists after his relationship to John Picerne was revealed. Picerne is the CEO of real estate development company Corvias, which is accused by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee with ignoring the warning signs of lead poisoning, mold, and vermin infestations in the privatized military housing that it built and managed". He provides a link to a series of articles by Reuters with regards to this housing problem but nowhere within any of the articles contained in the link his claim against Reed is vindicated. On the contrary, nowehere Reed is criticized or personally linked to Picerne, and he is even quoted as being appaled by the problem. Please provide an actual valid source for this claim or stop inserting it. -- fdewaele, 28 August 2019, 14:52 CET.
