I am not a user here, but this entire page reads like an advertisement. I am sure nobody has the time or desire to edit this page, but the entire thing should be scrutinized — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.91.96 (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mild puffery removed

Bolger is certainly a notable person. Puffery, peacock terms and resume-like phraseology are not needed or appropriate per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, Words to Watch WP:WORDS. I have removed these terms in one edit, as shown in this diff, while preserving the sourced content and facts about his life.KeptSouth (talk) 11:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The language is still problematic. One example: the "Right to work" section implies that legislation enacted under him led to the creation of 60,000 new jobs. However, all that is shown in the source is that 60,000 jobs were added since the legislation passed, not causality. Analysis of the impact of the legislation should be cited, not original research done. Hekerui (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Close paraphrasing issues

It looks like the page was built on his biography. Then individual facts were cited while the citation of the bio disappeared. Phrases from the bio are still found all over the article, though. Hekerui (talk) 15:15, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dishonest citations

Several of the citations attached to exculpations of Bolger say the opposite of the passage they are used to allegedly support. I've removed them as violations:

Bolger denied the allegation, saying Brown was sanctioned by the Majority Floor Leader for violating the rules of the house, based on how she addressed the Speaker Pro Tem when she concluded her speech with "Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but no means no."<ref name=LisaBrown>Peralta, Eyder (June 14, 2012). [http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/06/14/155059849/michigan-state-rep-barred-from-speaking-after-vagina-comments "Michigan State Rep Barred From Speaking After 'Vagina' Comments"], npr.org; accessed December 20, 2014.</ref>

The citation does not contain Bolger's excuse, and in fact does not mention him at all.

Bolger denied, and no contradicting evidence has been found indicating Bolger knew that Schmidt offered money to Mojzak to run.

Same here. The cites being used do anything but excuse Bolger.

There may be cites that support these things, but they are absolutely not the ones used.192.249.47.186 (talk) 16:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
