Pronunciation of name
Actually, the distinction is between high-german and low-german. His recommended pronunciation is the correct pronunciation in low-german, which is dominant in certain geographical locations and communities.72.179.14.103 (talk) 16:18, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting claim -- compare "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" which is generally pronounced with the "long a" sound. And the correct pronunciation in High German is closer to "Berner" as pronounced in Boston (silent first "r") ... was there a reason for the aside above? "Boner" is never the common pronunciation in a German community. Collect (talk) 13:14, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm working on a WikiProject to add campaign finance information to the pages of US elected officials. This information is available to the public from disclosures, and is strictly factual. Speaker Boehner is one of the officials I'd like to start with for this WikiProject. Before doing so, I'd like to gauge the reaction of other editors, especially given his prominence. Thoughts?

Maplight is simply a combination of Open Secrets and Govtrack (see their About page), both of which are included in External links to give readers access to the very latest data. Hard-coding data from a particular point in time is misleading. Ballotpedia has done that, immediately before contributions by particular people were made. The casual reader is likely to assume the data is current, and not follow the link. Wikipedia is not Ballotpedia. Flatterworld (talk) 15:35, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
