Problems with article

Many problems with this article:

  1. It's hardly NPOV
  2. The name should be at Thomas Pendergast
  3. It really needs to be wikified.

I would assume that since the name that he is known by is Tom Pendergast, that should be the location as well. I will put a redirect at Thomas Pendergast.

I'd like to see this article redone. i know there's more to the story than this. Preschooler.at.heart 01:59, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In office

I've never been comfortable with the subheads. Pendergast's peak of power was as "Chairman of the Jackson County Democratic Club," which was not really an elected position in the sense of a mayor or congressman but rather head of a Democratic Party faction. I changed it to more accurately reflect this title. Americasroof 15:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opponents

I've never been comfortable with the opponents section. I think it is inaccurate (e.g., Cookingham only came to power after Pendergast left). A list is troublesome because opponents often switched sides and never opposed Pendergast from the start. For the record I am including what I nuked here.

Discussions of the opponents should be done by paragraph discussion rather than just listing them. Americasroof 15:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is informative, but it seems a bit biased. The language needs to be changed to be more nuetral and more sourcing is needed. -Hibbidyhai
