Personal Opinions

Personal opinions of people highlighted in these biographies should not be put into the article. I believe personal opinions (especially those that are not supported by fact) can be stated in this Discussion area. Articles are supposed to be objective, and including personal opinions renders the articles subjective, and people will be less willing to use Wikipedia as an authoratative source.

2006 House Page Scandal

I reverted this, and then self-reverted back when I saw Cantor's name, but then I followed the source to the AP article and it does not support the statement that Cantor was aware of this? We need to be very careful here to not violate WP:BLP. We need a source for this... --plange 05:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repition that Cantor is Jewish

There is no reason to have both these sentences exist in this article: (1) Cantor is the currently the only Jewish Republican in the U.S. House. (1st paragraph) AND (2) Cantor is the sole Jewish Republican in the House. (4th paragraph) Infernallek 07:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent vandalism

Some people seem to be very irked by how this man blamed Pelosi for the republican vote against the bailout, and are taking out their (justified?) frustration on this article. Hopefully the attacks will die down after a day or so. I doubt it will continue past that, but if it does, we might want to consider semi-protection.

Marriage

I'm not sure why the year of his marriage is 1999 - the cited source says 1989. (The article got reverted when I corrected it.) - 24.183.28.227 (talk) 01:53, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
