Please add the following to the section 4.4.9 Foreign affairs:
In January 2022, Menendez opposed the senator Cruz's project of sanctions against the Russian pipeline Nordstream-2, designed to prevent a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1][2] Oleksandr Gryniuk (talk) 10:28, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}}
template. - This seems unlikely to be an uncontroversial edit. Therefore, please attempt to establish a consensus on this page before using an edit request. PianoDan (talk) 20:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
President Biden’s Mexico’s US border problem.
Please stop the large
number of people coming into our country illegally. Try to convince Biden to stop the flow of all kinds of people coming in. 72.68.79.125 (talk) 18:32, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia talk pages are not a discussion forum. Also, the subject of a biographical article is generally not a participant in their article or talk page, so a comment of this sort on the talk page is unlikely to reach them. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 18:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
More info on Sen Menendez indictment needed.
You're keeping this article locked and not going to put his recent indictment in the opening paragraph? There's also no description of the alleged crime. There should be a section describing the indictment (and past one he got off on because of a mistrial). His wife created a "consulting" firm and sold his influence to foreigners.That's a very interesting form of grift I've heard other senators have done in the past. 67.60.94.55 (talk) 22:46, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- His indictment does not belong in the opening paragraph. It's in the fourth paragraph of the lead, which is appropriate. And the article has sections on both indictments. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:55, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with the first suggestion. The first sentence should say something like:
- Robert Menendez (/mɛˈnɛndɛz/; born January 1, 1954) is a twice indicted lawmaker, an American lawyer and politician serving as the senior United States senator from New Jersey, a seat he has held since 2006. HelperHelper1 (talk) 13:31, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- No it should not. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:37, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- It shouldn't because he's a Democrat. 67.60.94.55 (talk) 20:36, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- Criminal status should not be listed before even nationality on anyone's page. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:38, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- It shouldn't because he's a Democrat. 67.60.94.55 (talk) 20:36, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- No it should not. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:37, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
You have set a trap for students who use Wikipedia, since they will write papers and such based on Wikipedia and lose points for not knowing that Menendez's legal problems are a big thing. Dozens of colleagues on both sides of the aisle have asked for him to resign. But people who trust Wikipedia will think only rightwing nut jobs want him gone. They would know more if they used Google. This is why students are not allowed to use Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.62.139 (talk) 15:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- No, students are not allowed to use Wikipedia because it's not reliable or trustworthy, and it's not reliable or trustworthy because anyone can edit it. For that matter, even Wikipedia itself doesn't consider Wikipedia a reliable source. TheScotch (talk) 18:35, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, what are you on about? The article literally lists like 40 Democratic politicians who want him gone... ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:33, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Lengthy Paragrah under 2023 Indictement.
Under 2023 Indictement, a paragrah discussing the list of politicians calling for the Senator's resignation is far too long. I think the only politicians that need to be mentioned by name are; those from New Jersey, and those in the Democratic Congressional Leadership. As for the others, they could just as easily be listed as bullet points underneath the paragraph, which would be a lot easier to read. BlueOcean02 (talk) 23:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Under "2023 Indictment" there is a typo in the last sentence of the third paragraph. 2014 -> 2024 69.5.113.112 (talk) 02:38, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
no longer a democrat

- Don't trust what the WP:DAILYMAIL says. I see no proof he's left the Democratic Party. He's registering to run as an independent to continue to fundraise for his defense.[3] – Muboshgu (talk) 18:08, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Muboshgu: nope, you're engaging in WP:OR as I've said. Talk about it here and not on my page since it's a content dispute. Therequiembellishere (talk) 22:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
