Firearm pointing controversy

User:47.39.225.163, who appears to have some interest in this subject, keeps removing a referenced section about the subject pointing a firearm at someone in an ad. The material is referenced and it confirms it. I have no opinions on the subject other than hating seeing referenced material removed. Ifnord (talk) 16:10, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's another COI editor at work. As far as I can tell there are two things to do: look carefully at the wording in order to verify that the information is written up neutrally, and that the high school dispute is answered properly, with a reliable source. Drmies (talk) 15:59, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No criticisms section?

The man is as controversial a figure as Donald Trump. The article reads as if written by a Kemp supporter. There is zero information on the Monroe-Bibb border line dispute, for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:2433:F869:25D5:D758:E3B0:1534 (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Summary in lede

Kemp's oversight of elections should obviously be in the lede, given that most of the body covers this. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 11:29, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Change of the lead section, paragraph two.

Would it be acceptable to change paragraph two of the lead section from:

He is currently the Republican nominee for Governor of Georgia in the 2018 election, which as the Secretary of State he is also in charge of overseeing.

To:

He is currently the Republican nominee for Governor of Georgia in the 2018 election, which as the Secretary of State he is also in charge of overseeing. This has been called a "huge conflict of interest."^[1]

Fine by me. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 08:05, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One of the most biased opening leads to any politician's article

Four paragraphs, and three of them are basically long "Kemp bad, Kemp was accused by political opponents of [negative thing], etc." I have never seen such a biased, one-sided opening for any active politician who wasn't like arrested. Nothing but "critics say." This is the kind of writing that makes it difficult for many to take Wikipedia seriously as a source for political-related stuff.

Yeah, ask anyone outside of the cluster of power users who know all the jargon, and 5000 Wiki buzzwords, and they will agree that Wikipedia, outside of Hard Sciences and Mathematics generally, is a deeply flawed practice at best. In before #NotAForum. Let my statement add that, It is true that, for someone with a 100% clean legal record with many years of public service, Kemp's opening lede is quite possibly worse than many criminal gangsters, or historical war lords wiki pages, in the light that it casts on him. You'd think he's 3 weeks from a March on Atlanta, Mussolini style, and declaring the Imperial Empire of The Georgians. 2601:982:4200:A6C:B87B:9671:21E:181C (talk) 02:46, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

remove "Kemp graduated from Athens Academy in 1983.[9][10]. "

rationale: I am a 1983 graduate of Athens Academy. There were 33 of us. BK was categorically NOT among us. And I do not know the name in the context of my school days. I have also just gone through the yearbooks from 1980-1983: he is not mentioned or pictured in any of them. It's a small school, EVERYONE is in the yearbooks, more than once

The cited articles are in error "Alums Kalupe Booze '11 and Joe Tillman '87 Lead Middle School Spartans to Championship". Athens Academy. Retrieved 25 July 2018." and " Ford, Wayne. "Athens Academy observes 50th anniversary". Athens Banner-Herald. Retrieved 25 July 2018."

The authors of these articles must have taken him at his word. His daughter may be/have been a student but there is no hard evidence to suggest that Brian Kemp was.

change " Kemp graduated from Athens Academy in 1983.[11][12]" to "Kemp went to Clarke Central" and replace notes 11 and 12 with "https://www.kempforgovernor.com/about-brian-kemp"

rationale: BK did not graduate from AA; I have a 1983 yearbook to prove--small school, only 33 members of the graduating class. He was not among them (I was; and thus I am a primary source with a published source to support the correction) His own page claims that he "went to Clarke Central" Gaius Cornelius Tacitus (talk) 14:40, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Brian Kemp. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

change "Assumed Office" to "Assuming office"; Replace "Preceded by" with "Preceding"; Remove "Incumbent" from info box
