A fact from Kesha Rogers appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 March 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Kesha Rogers, who won the 2010 Democratic primary for Texas's 22nd congressional district, is a follower of the LaRouche movement and has called for the impeachment of President Barack Obama?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/March.

"Lakesha"?[edit]

Is there a source for her first name being Lakesha, as opposed to simply Kesha? None of the sources for this article refers to her first name as anything other than Kesha, so I'm wondering where the editor who added "Lakesha" to the lead got that information. Stonemason89 (talk) 18:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Lakesha" appears in many sources, according to Google.[1] It's used in this press release, for example.[2] Will Beback talk 21:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying. Stonemason89 (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sequence[edit]

I inverted the sections to place them into chronological order. From my experience, that's the best way to write biographies. Will Beback talk 22:27, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anons[edit]

A lot of anonymous editors seem to be congregating around this article, including some who may be sockpuppets of Herschelkrustofsky. Be on the lookout. Stonemason89 (talk) 14:26, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A few questions[edit]

1. The quotes from Rogers' website and from the Harris County Democratic Party Chair were removed, with caption "rv edits of banned user." In a way, this is like letting a banned editor control the article, no? All a banned editor would have to do would be to add something significant to the article, such as for example commentary on Rogers' campaign by the County Chair, and that would seem to mean that those comments would be forever excluded from the article simply because a banned editor once added them. As a result it is the article, not the banned user, which suffers. Is there no way that another editor can add this information?

2. I can sort of understand why the quote from TIME magazine would get moved to another article (even though TIME was clearly reporting on Rogers, not the Youth Movement, and TIME felt that the platform described was important in understanding Rogers' campaign, as do I.) However, I don't get why her campaign slogan ("Help send me to Congress, and we can send our grandchildren to Mars!") was simply deleted. Owen Roe (talk) 22:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re-adding the exact same material as a banned user is not ideal. It isn't necessary to quote the County Chairman. His comment can be summarized, or other quotations could be used or other parties could be quoted. There are a thousand ways to write an article. We don't need to restore the content preferred by a disruptive and long-banned user. As for the Time material, the LYM stuff is tangential and we have a whole article there so their principles are better covered in that article. The Kennedy material is already in the article, so that was redundant. I've restored the slogan. Will Beback talk 01:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~::All right, I'll paraphrase the Harris County chairman, because his views seem to me to be of particular relevance. Owen Roe (talk) 13:42, 21 July 2010 (UTC)~~ [reply]

2012[edit]

She is running again. I have updated this page to reflect 2012. This is important inasmuch as she is on the ballot, and since 2010 proved that she can win a primary. At least Yahoo news has taken notice.[3]

I am not personally a LaRouche follower, but I must disclose that I donated to the Rogers campaign in 2010. (I won't get into why.) Either way I have made a strong effort to keep this appendix to the facts. My appendix comes mainly from hostile sources, namely the Fort Bend Democratic leadership. --Zimriel (talk) 21:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed comment about global warming theory[edit]

The source does not even mention it Fxmastermind (talk) 17:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
