Untitled[edit]

This has no references, is written with a massive POV bias and a completely non-encyclopaedic tone. I am recommending it for speedy deletion. Razol2 14:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really, really don't understand why there is no image available for someone who is apparently a well-covered member of the 1960s-1970s revolutionary/reactionary groups; who is a co-author on a recent book about the Weather Underground; who has been arrested; and who was a cause celeb for Hollywood types. Has he gone underground again? Jessemckay (talk) 21:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference[edit]

I am confused by the way the article is referenced. There is really good information in here, but it seems to need a notes section to make the referenced works a little clearer. Just a friendly suggestion. Lalalajane (talk) 18:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It might be beneficial to provide readers with a "For Further Reading/Viewing" list, since the biography does not have occasion to cite all the key sources regarding Jones. Good use of internal links! --Historytrain (talk) 16:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The footer on this article still describes it as a "stub" or "Activist stub." It might be time to redesignate the article. --Historytrain (talk) 16:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some cleanup and wikification, and will remove the stub tag. Bearian (talk) 21:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Jeff Jones (activist)/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I see the POV bias, however, feel with some good editing, this will be a strong article. Please allow the author the opportunity to accomplish this.Ossu (talk) 05:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC) Ossu, It would be helpful to direct me to specific instances where you feel that a POV jumps off the page. This will help to evaluate the assertion and make changes as needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willowmina (talk • contribs) 19:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
