This reads like a press release Ron Thompson (talk) 01:50, 11 May 2016 (UTC)Ron Thompson

Agreed! This page was written by Justice's campaign manager. "He did this great thing, and that great thing, and he has this endorsement!" The bit where he never, ever pays a cent of his fines? Ehh...guess that's not part of the campaign.65.196.107.250 (talk) 15:17, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Absolutely agree — there are really egregious examples in the "Business Career" section. For example, the fact that Justice "put 200 coal miners back to work" rather than having "hired 200 additional miners", or that he "brought back all 650 laid-off employees" of the Greenbrier and increased their benefits, which seem to be written in the style of campaign rhetoric. In addition the status of benefits of employees at Greenbrier does not seem germane to Justice's main article, and if anything should be mentioned in the article on Greenbrier.
I removed some of this problematic content and it was reverted, but similar concerns have been mentioned previously on this talk page. I would like to propose repeating my edit. Jhgtg (talk) 00:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Why add his "net worth" right after he announced his party switch?

Seems like someone is salty and bitter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.182.53.90 (talk) 23:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Someone was indeed bitter and spidered the interwebs to dig up anything he could find, lol! ;-) It is biographical though, so I'll give them that much. Pass the salt? 67.77.218.242 (talk) 23:51, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
Yeah! Why *NOT* note that he earned lots of money managing a family coal business and that his wealth accrual puts him in a historical position that ought not to be overlooked in thinking about his historical actions as Governor? MaynardClark (talk) 00:02, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
The question is, why didn't you want anyone to know that back when he supported the Democrat party? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.104.163 (talk) 02:12, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Political positions

Of all of Justice's political positions, why is only the global warming one mentioned? And it wasn't even a political position at that. It seems minor compared to all of this other issues he ran on. So the political positions section either needs to be field out or the global warming comment needs to be removed per WP:WEIGHT. —Farix (t | c) 12:07, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 June 2021

Gov. Jim Justice has been offering vaccine incentives including a raffle for a customizable gun. It has been gaining lots of media attention, i think we should include it in his Wikipedia page under Covid-19 response. Max the cat1 (talk) 01:21, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
