Under Global Warming

"I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change. It's not proven by any stretch of the imagination...It's far more likely that it's just sunspot activity or just something in the geologic eons of time. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere 'gets sucked down by trees and helps the trees grow.'" —Wisconsin GOP Senate candidate Ron Johnson, Aug. 16, 2010 Johnson has also said, "I'm glad there is global warming." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.76.202 (talk) 08:04, 4 November 2010 (UTC) I feel that the sources for sunspots affect on global warming attributed to the Christian Science Monitor should be taken out as it is not scientific, highly dogmatic and represents a political agenda and not scientific fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dorianwilde (talk • contribs) 15:37, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Johnson is a candidate for U.S. Senate. Most polls show he and Sen. Feingold in a close election in November. He is as noteworthy as anyone running for office and perhaps more so as this race is now drawing national attention in terms of endorsements, donations, and political news stories. We should have a wiki page for every candidate running for the U.S. Senate and U.S House this November of any party that is on the ballot. MaxMercy (talk) 18:53, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He is as notable as anyone running for office? You've read WP:POLITICIAN, right? Ironholds (talk) 19:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've read it and he is a candidate in a closely fought senate election that has recevied a lot of attention. There are already a good number of stories and polls on this race. Anyone that follows U.S. campaigns closely knows who Sen. Feingold is and is aware that he now seems poised for another tight reelection campaign like he had in 1998. Johnson is notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxMercy (talk • contribs) 19:13, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then show it. If you know the policy, why did you write an article that fails it so conclusively? You've been here for a year or so now. Ironholds (talk) 19:14, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not an expert like you. I did my best to show it with links to the Politico.com stories, the George Will column, etc. I agree it needs more, but I don't think it should be speedily deleted. You seem pretty triger happy to do that. MaxMercy (talk) 20:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course he's notable. Here's what we did in 2008: 'No-hopers' have their campaign site, Project Vote Smart page listed in-line in the election article, as they aren't notable in their own right, just in connection with the campaign. Notable candidates (lots of coverage because the election is expected to be close, for example) get their own articles. Those in-between get a proportional writeup in the election article.

Ironholds is always trigger happy, and is wrong 99% of the time. He also claims to be "Apolitical" yet always seems to be neck deep in plitics —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.147.52.109 (talk) 02:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jostens

It was founded in Owatonna, Minnesota. I presume the accounting department would be there, but I wouldn't add that to the article. Just pointing it out in case it helps anyone find verifiable information. Flatterworld (talk) 21:29, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PACUR LCC needs to be changed to PACUR LLC in the Career section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wreardan (talk • contribs) 17:04, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 69.21.99.188, 12 October 2010

{{edit semi-protected}}

Footnote #6 does not work

69.21.99.188 (talk) 00:44, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks, Celestra (talk) 01:29, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

96ty as Senate seniority

{{Edit semi-protected}} fix to 96th; if title sources "List of current...", change to Seniority in the United States Senate|, so that redirect is unnecessary. 75.202.14.114 (talk) 21:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done CTJF83 chat 17:05, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request: Profile Photo

Why the weird, blurry, unflattering photo? Is that really the best you could find? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.90.24.52 (talk) 05:58, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If someone could get his official senate photo, that would certainly be preferred. --Gb supernova (talk) 01:47, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just contacted his office, I should be able to get it within the next couple weeks. Connormah (talk) 00:03, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Political Positions

Why don't we merge replace the tenure subsection with a Political positions section, it is far and away the standard for most senate members, and it makes for a much easier reference this way as a section in itself.Questionable pulse (talk) 23:45, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to bring this up. You posted this here around two years ago so I'm going to go ahead and split the section into two. If there is any disagreement, post here. Whitestorm17 (talk) 23:08, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A thesis for an MBA?

No business school I'm aware of as ever required a thesis for an MBA during Johnson's lifetime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.56.197.231 (talk) 22:47, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Health care

This section just uncritically recites Johnson's own factually incorrect narrative that members of Congress are somehow not "subject to the full text of the Affordable Care Act that the rest of the nation must follow." 75.76.213.161 (talk) 23:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
