Talk:Eugene Delgaudio

Public Advocate
It appears that Mr Delgaudio's group "Public Advocate of the United States" does not do anything except raise funds, pay Mr Delgaudio, and send out fundraising letters/e-mails. If anyone can cite other activities for Public Advocate, please update this section with details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve Radant (talk • contribs) 19:38, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Here ya go.  Now, perhaps things can appear to you differently and you can fix the page yourself. Maybe the info will stick in your mind a little longer.76.6.88.154 (talk) 05:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * That pretty much sums it up. Although it also appears to pay people to attend rallies for causes that Mr. Delgaudio is passionate about. Of course, this is only content from a blog which isn't verifiable. TeaganK (talk) 15:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * He also confuses transsexual persons who want to be seen as part of the mainstream with the transgender movement. A good number of persons born with the birth condition of transsexualism are not TGs nor a part of the LGBT in any ways.  A number are Conservative and even anti-gay.  I've emailed him about this on several occasions with no response.  For a while, he started naming the correct group, now he is back to villainizing transsexuals for what TGs and LGBTs do.66.110.251.145 (talk) 12:53, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, a lot of people do that, transgender people included. I don't think the whole TS vs. TG issue has much to do with Delgaudio per se... that is an issue for the trans community in general. TeaganK (talk) 17:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Here's a new activity: I guess the CEO of Ernst & Young has been helping to try and overturn the Boy Scouts' ban on gay leaders, so Delgaudio, oops, I mean Public Advocate, has written a song about how this will lead to children being molested. They have a whole YouTube page with this sort of thing. MsFionnuala (talk) 19:39, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Flagged for (Point of View) Check for Neutrality
Edited the first paragraph. Moved those edits to the second paragraph so that the article doesn't start as an attack on Delgaudio's position. The article still needs to be edited to be balanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valezero (talk • contribs) 16:32, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see it. I think he's just so unhinged that there's no accurate way to portray him in a way that doesn't paint him as crazy. Clothcoat (talk) 18:23, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Blogs as sources
This article made heavy use of blogs as sources. I have removed them. Wikipedia requires secondary reliable sources and not self-published sources such as blogs. See: WP:RS --Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, this article needs more reliable sources. I have just restored one of the sections you removed, with a proper source for the letter text.  And I'm about to revert your change that removed the "Although his personal website ..." section, because the version you edited down to before that is supported by the references in it - Delgaudio's own website for his own words, and FAQS.org's collection of tax-exempt organization public records for the rest.  I'll be looking for proper sources to restore the rest, but I suspect I won't find them.  Thanks for the cleanup! RossPatterson (talk) 11:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Definitely an improvement. However, what is FAQS.org? Does it count as a WP:RS?--Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:32, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I removed self-referential citation (from his own blog) regarding his candidacy for delegate to the 2016 Republican convention (placed by an IP editor) and replaced it with a cite to the Christian Science Monitor, a RS. Activist (talk) 16:20, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * FAQS.org is a public data resource on the net. In it's early days, it existed for the sole purpose of providing a home to various RFC and FAQ documents. It is not a primary source, it is a repository for well-known documents.  RossPatterson (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
