Talk:Carol Sente

Poor shape of the article
I came to this article to find way to source the list of communities included in legislative districts in IL (since such a list appears here, but not at the sites of other such legislators). I found this list material unsourced here.

In addition, there is a paucity of material, and all that does appear is redundant with regard to the candidate's *.gov pages, and apparently all derived from there (i.e., without any additional real citations). The one citation appearing, to the (Illinois) State Journal-Register online, is a dead link.

In short, there is a paucity of information, and what does appear is unsourced. The outside links are of limited or no value, as they are essentially all (apart from the VoteSmart, and even there to an extent), presenting information provided by the article subject, or her staff.

Hence, tags were added after finding that even the 1 citn appearing was unverifiable. Because this one reference is a dead link, the BLP tag appears as "unreferenced" rather than "refimprove".

 * Tags now of the "refimprove" type, since 3 citations added. 71.239.87.100 (talk) 17:35, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Scorecard score and references added
I added this as a reference to begin the process of describing Sente's voting positions.

It is of interest because it highlights the complexities of such scoring: it is a conservative scorecard (its ten highest scores are to Republicans, its ten lowest to Democrats) that gives this legislator an unusually positive rating for a Democrat.

Much more well-cited info is needed -- as it stands, this scorecard, as the only information on her voting record, is not fully representative (as no single bit of news information can be).

But it is a start, and will make most sense as it appears as a part of an expanding description of votes and policy positions (i.e., sourced specifics on her opinions and voting record).

It also increases valid sourcing at the article by an infinite proportion. as there was, prior, no verifiable source whatsoever (only appearing source, no.1, being broken and irreparable).
