Talk:2006 New Jersey state government shutdown

take advantage of wikipedia
with our open source nature, we can have a full scale FA quality article out of this, before another encyclopedia even compiles its sources for a new edition. therefore, this article needs to go under wiki-fying. this includes, adding causes, writing about the disagreement with corzine and the nj statehouse, writing effects of this as they develop as well as the final results. pictures of the closed casinos would be useful as well. (anyone in the AC area have the ability to take pictures that can be put into public domain. Any other suggestions, feel free to list them here.-- ZeWrestler   Talk 13:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * We need to make sure this is written like an encyclopedia article. Even though it is a current event, we need to write about it in past tense.  Also, we want to keep it NPOV. Timrem 23:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * We had a similar situation in Puerto Rico during May 2006. Everything is detailed on 2006 Puerto Rico budget crisis. That might help you a bit. &mdash;Drowne | Talk 18:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've tried to clean this up. It'll need some more expansion to be a FA, and a pagemove as well. Also I caught a little scurrility seeping in around the casino closures bit. 68.39.174.238 01:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Further backstory/election?
I admit I wasn't paying that much attention, but wasn't the sales tax fight over the deficit and Corzine's campaigning over reducing it, hence the staunchness, etc? If so it might help to explain WHY he was so insistant on the +1%. 68.39.174.238 01:22, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Princeton completly losses funding
I was reading in the Trenton Times this week that there was a small clause in the new budget that the state shall withhold funding for private institutions with endowments of over 1 billion dollars. Princeton University is the only university in NJ that makes more than 1 billion. I want to include that in the article, but i can't find the newspaper the article was in, and can't find another source that provides the same information. Can someone help out? -- ZeWrestler  Talk 14:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * This maybe? 68.39.174.238 06:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. It's been added into the article.-- ZeWrestler  Talk 15:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Elections
Did this have an effect on the November elections? -- ZeWrestler  Talk 05:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe in Menendez's, but he got elected anyway. I pretty strongly suspect Federal/national issues overrode this, especially since most of them were ongoing or more recent and this ended in about a week. Unfortunately, that's an opinion and I don't know of any sources. 68.39.174.238 00:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Lottery
I just checked the NJ Lottery web site -- there were numbers drawn on July 2 and beyond, so can someone clarify how the New Jersey Lottery shut down immediately? &mdash;Twigboy 22:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Unresolved as of 15:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC). Since the results of the July 2, 2006 drawing are no longer on the lottery webpage, I refreshed the link above to point to the Internet Archive.&mdash;Twigboy (talk) 15:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

GA Nomination
This article might pass good article criteria if the introduction was improved. See Lead section.User:calbear22 (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll look into fixing it up a little later. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 18:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

GA on hold
Okay, prose, stability and images are okay. However it could do with more references and the should be using citation templates. It seems NPOV but I don't know the issue in enough depth to be sure, but it could do with being a bit broader. There must have been more debate and in fighting in the legislature during this person, who were the major actors in the parties? Any outside interests or lobbying? Perhaps a bit more on the effect of the shut down upon people?- J Logan t: 13:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No change, failing;

Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of March 4, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: Pass
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Bit more referencing and use of templates please
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Needs more depth on issues surrounding it, seems a bit shallow
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Bit more depth on the political divides behind it would let me rest on this
 * 5. Article stability? Pass
 * 6. Images?: Fine copyright and use, positioning could be better though

Small issues, get sorted and it will be fine

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far. — - J Logan t: 19:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I have converted all of the existing references to citation tempplates. We just need to ensure that additions are done the same way. Jim Miller (talk) 19:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Jim, great job with your changes to the article. I've started looking into adding some meat to the lead. I think a few more sentences should do the trick here. If any one has any ideas of something to add to the intro, feel free to make necessary changes. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 14:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Misunderstandings

 * 1) What does mean: "The constitution also includes a provision in the previous paragraph preventing appropriations from going into red ink"?
 * 2) Could you source this: "the New Jersey Supreme Court had interpreted this to exclude loans made to cover shortfalls, and Corzine claimed that the state had a poor credit rating anyway"? --Синкретик (talk) 08:24, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
