On-screen roles
This section dominates the article, but appears to be either poorly sourced or composed primarily of original research. It makes sense that this section be moved to its own article. Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 07:33, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think there are ulterior motives for this move. The on-screen roles that she had are not only indisputable, they make up a large part of her recognition to mainstream audiences--and voters--throughout the US. I believe the on-screen roles should remain in the article, although they should be better-sourced. As the article stands now, her involvement in wrestling is virtually non-existent.--Screwball23 talk 23:38, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
There is a preexisting precedent here, Take the way Steven Colbert is dealt with on Wikipedia, he has separate pages for the actual person and his character on his show. Combining a person's actually identity and fictional identity into a single page is confusing and unnecessary.
Professional Wikiwashing
"justanotherguyonewiki" appears to be a professional political consultant who also has a client in Nevada based on his contribution history. CT residents may not take kindly to professional PR types trying to gloss over the McMahon record. I've already fielded e-mails on WWE practices which I'm not going to add to this article--her political opportunism is troubling enough
- There are still issues with your contribution. The source you provide [1] was written by one person and does not mention other people, so that makes the statement "conservative activists" in your contribution incorrect. The question here is not whether it's true or false, but whether it's verifiable. Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 04:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Created this page and added the original research template since most of this article is either un-sourced or original research. Justanotherguyonwiki (talk) 07:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- right, we would not want to tarnish her political career by mentioning such deeds as her low-blowing a commentator on her show in the same article. great job creating this content fork.--115.135.226.143 (talk) 17:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- um.. Ok. anyway, what was the reason for a seperate article? i don't think that anyone else has a sub page of this type, See Vince's, or Jeff Jaret's article, or Dixie Carter's. Sephiroth storm (talk) 23:18, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- I was the one who suggested the merger. I think this split from Linda's article is not needed. It's barely bigger than a stub and her on-screen role has always been limited, not notable enought to warrant a separate article. TJ Spyke 23:34, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Merge it, content forking.--WillC 03:41, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Absolutely. This should be merged immediately. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- It has been done, and the content of the talk page moved here. ArcAngel (talk) 07:37, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Political photos
If anyone can get an image of Linda McMahon on the Campaign trail, that would be much-appreciated. I would love to see more images up on this page.--Screwball23 talk 02:42, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
"Edwards-McMahon"?
The first line of the article says she uses the hyphenated last name "Edwards-McMahon." I have never seen her being called by that name. I assume her maiden name was Edwards and she chose when she married. (Her daughter does use "McMahon-Levesque.") Timothy Horrigan (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Age?
Linda McMahon was supposedly born on October 4, 1948, and in fact she looks younger than 61 in her pictures. Her bio casts some doubt however, on her birth date. We are told very specifically: "After dating in high school, they married on August 6, 1966, before she graduated college." She was (supposedly) 17 years old, young enough to still be in high school. It seems odd that she makes a point of saying she was still in "college" at the time, if she was only 17 years old. No date of graduation from college is in fact given, although we do know she graduated from East Carolina University. The material on her campaign web site doesn't specify an exact year of birth. I am wondering if the birth date is in fact accurate, although it is shown as October 4, 1948 in many other sources. A lady is allowed to fib about her age, but this is an issue which could impact her Senate campaign. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 23:45, 11 December 2009 (UTC) --The date is correct.--Screwball23 talk 19:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Re: Table of political contributions
Is there a way I could make that table into a separate file and add it as a thumbnail file? I don't know how to do that, but if someone could help me, it would definitely be worth it to help save the page from becoming too large.--Screwball23 talk 01:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
