Neutrality[edit]

This page reads like a campaign literature piece for his congressional campaign. Specifically, I fail to see how a list of endorsements for his current campaign is of value to anyone not living in the Northeast corner of Minnesota. Joe Forkeybolo (talk) 06:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the content isn't complimentary, and at least one point is a potential negative (re President Carter). Not sure I agree that the endorsements are a problem, they're relevant to the campaign and local voters. I think the article is dry and a little thin, but the campaign is new. I'd love more discussion of his accomplishments while in office, and his life since, for instance. Uberhill 19:45, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Concerns over neutrality seem to have been addressed, so I've removed the template. Gobōnobo ⁺ ^c 08:16, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Further concerns from Aug 2014 over neutrality appear to have been addressed, so I would recommend removing the template again from the front. 64.83.196.101 (talk) 17:05, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture and things[edit]

Anyone have a nice photo of Nolan to use on this article? It really needs one. Also, if he wins the election, this page will need a major revamping.~Pferd~ (talk) 02:59, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added the external images link. LP-mn (talk) 22:36, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re sort section sequence[edit]

It seems to me that moving the business experience up will allow the political/electoral sections to be closer, as they should be (in my opinion). I will so re-sort it.
LP-mn (talk) 22:38, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, I changed my mind. The article needs to have his business career mentioned as a sort of a break between his earlier and later political careers.
LP-mn (talk) 22:41, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There. That way is better, It keeps his business career between his earlier and later political careers.

Looking for someone to nominate this article for GA status[edit]

Does anyone else think this article is up to GA status?--Bigpoliticsfan (talk) 00:31, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Marriages and Children[edit]

Trying to clean the page up a little, and confused by whether all children are from one wife. Anyone know? I've added a Personal Life section, with some potentially helpful citations, and left the information about that ambiguous. Thanks! Shatterpoint05 (talk) 01:57, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
