Untitled[edit]

Drunk[edit]

Why is there no mention of his drinking problems and his arrest for drunk-driving? - Strangerstome (talk) 10:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

paragraph headers[edit]

I'm removing the paragraph headers because there is not substantial enough information in the body of the "Personal Life" section to merit separate subheadings. Especially when the two subjects that are being drawn out are potentially libelous/defamatory.J. Charles Taylor (talk) 04:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

formatting and sections[edit]

Because Del. Barve is noted for being a legislator, I have moved the "legislative career" section to the top of the article. For someone searching for information about Del. Barve, "legislative career" information will likely be more relevant to their immediate search interests. Also, because "achievements & awards" are all legislative in nature, I have moved them to a subset of the legislative section. Please discuss.Kumar P. Barve (talk) 16:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
