news release tag

The language seems fairly neutral to me, it's just a recitation of bills Mr. Cline has introduced. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:42, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Cline Article

I have rewritten the article before to make it non-promotional. All of the legislation included is real and cited with correct sources. The subjective text included comes straight from the Virginia House of Delegates web site and was not edited to provide for promotion for the legislator in any way. It was marked in March when the page was extended and I have reached a consensus with the last marker. Please point out what specifically is "overly promotional" about the article other than the list of legislation that this legislator has introduced.

If your reasoning behind it is that it includes no legislation that has been killed then 1) that legislation is no longer on the table and has no substantive use as information to be included and 2) I would refer you to our sitting president Barack Obama's page where it includes legislation that he has passed successfully through the U.S. Congress.

Please, stop marking it as a news release as the matter has already been dealt with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.5.77.189 (talk) 17:42, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contentious Edits to Page

I've removed the edits to the women's rights section as they do not deal in a general manner with the subject of the article, are overly specific and irrelevant to the subject matter at hand, and are blatantly biased (evident by the title of the section the original editor gave to the section) as those were the only edits the previous editor made to the page. Please talk about any edits to this section here on the talk page, where they're supposed to be.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.62.161.44 (talk) 22:37, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Women's Right's

I know that for many wikipedia editors the Women's Rights section may not seem so pertinent to this public official's bio page, but for at least half the population this is indeed an important issue that should be placed in perspective among the other issues that are brought up in this politician's article. Therefore, other than sexism or some intern or PR rep trying to put a slant on this page, I see no reason why this section should be excised from this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5C6:8301:7A34:C870:B094:2945:F146 (talk) 20:40, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Ben Cline. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›

I have tried to edit this page by restoring the deleted section with this politician relating to Women's Rights issues, which believe it or not is important and relevant to most people. Also, I tried to include the updated information about Cline introducing the Day of morning for abortion, including with citations to news outlets. I did not make it up ( I could not make it up). Also, I deleted some unnecessary details in this article about the universities and natural wonders in Cline's district. This reads as if it was a candidate authored website blurb, and is completely irrelevant here. Perhaps it could link over to the wikipedia entry on the geographical era?

I have tried to do the right thing by writing about my edits on the Talk page, but instead have been treated as if I was a vandal or something. It almost makes me think that whoever is the editor of this wikipedia article is an employee or this politician or something.
