Political positions

I think much of the information removed in this edit should have been reworded to reduce the appearance of bias, rather than completely deleted. Several items worth noting, such as her work with Occupy Wall Street, or her position on Super PACs & campaign finance reform, were sacrificed. Other candidates like Mitt Romney or Gary Johnson have entire pages dedicated to their positions. If we don't have enough content to form a similar page for her, then I would think everything we do have belongs in this article. If there is disagreement on that, then I think a Political positions of Jill Stein article should be created, even as just a stub, where some of the information posted above could be incorporated. It's also interesting that this late in the game her campaign does not have an article, but Virgil Goode, who's polling at about the same level and is on fewer ballots, does (and a rather good one, at that). 68.58.63.22 (talk) 06:49, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there should be a "political positions" section in this article, and a separate campaign article for Stein. If have the time, I may get both started.--Green4liberty (talk) 15:30, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, look - Jill Stein presidential campaign, 2012.--Green4liberty (talk) 16:13, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Green4liberty, glad to see that work. Now Jill needs a decent image for her other pages. This one does not reflect who she actually is -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jill_Stein_speaking.jpg GreenIn2010 (talk) 18:59, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT categories?

This article is currently in Category:LGBT rights activists from the United States and has been tagged with {{WikiProject LGBT studies}}, but there's nothing in the text of the article about LGBT issues whatsoever. Is that an oversight? If there's something to say to explain that category and template, it should be added to the article; if not, they should be removed.

Arrest mention in introduction

I was wondering if mentioning the arrest of Jill Stein and her running mate in the introduction of this article is inappropriate. I would question the motivation behind such an edit, which draws immediate attention to an embarrassing moment, her arrest, before quietly revealing that it was due to activism. I think at the very least this section should be reworded, though I don't think it's necessary to include in the introduction anyway; is this an encyclopedia or a tabloid? --Burstroc (talk) 15:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the statement from the lead, as it is already mentioned in the body of the article. Also, the mention of a singular event which received only marginal press coverage in the intro section runs afoul of WP:UNDUE & WP:LEAD.--JayJasper (talk) 19:31, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:13, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake, misread source. What is the middle name? 12.153.112.21 (talk) 18:21, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 16 October 2012

Today's update about Dr. Stein's arrest is missing "was arrested" or something similar. LimeyTart (talk) 23:36, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's been fixed. RudolfRed (talk) 00:32, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The couple HAVE two daughters, surely? Can we please edit. I'll debate if you insist but this is well-covered ground generally.
