Talk:Paul Hackett (politician)

Hackett's ad with Bush
Hackett is running an ad making it look like he and President Bush are buddy buddy. Here is the real truth.

What Paul Hackett Thinks Of Bush: “Hackett told USA Today that Bush’s taunting line, “Bring ‘em on!” was “the most incredibly stupid comment I’ve ever heard a president of the United States make.” He also told the newspaper that, while he was willing to put his life on the line for the president, “I’ve said that I don’t like the son-of-a-[expletive] that lives in the White House.” The full article can be read here http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/30/AR2005073001092.html

Netroots
It might be good to include something about Netroots in the article. CNN has a good article about it, and google has a lot of information as well. Netroot article with Hackett. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 15:59, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Organization category
Isn't it odd to put an individual in a category called "veterans organizations"? User:PedanticallySpeaking.

Edit
Previous version of this article was insanely long... nearly as long as the page for Albert Einstein. For a person of fairly low notability, there was just too much padding and extraneous unecessary info (the places where his father worked for instance... uncessary information). I summarized things a bit. Article is still long, but touches on key points that are important and/or of interest to the general public.


 * On that note, why is evryone on Wikipedia obsessed with what the Colbert Report has to say? I think what he said on CR wasn't nearly as interesting as his interviews with Ed Shultz. I don't mean to rant, but c'mon--there's so much of this crap floating around. 72.24.182.238 21:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Menk

Good article
I'm delighted to see this tagged as a "good article" as I wrote and researched most of it. If someone would like to nominate it as a FAC, you can count on at least one support vote. PedanticallySpeaking 17:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I think it's problematic to feature an article about a candidate in an ongoing race. It looks like favoritism unless Sherrod Brown and Mike DeWine could be brought up to FA status at the same time. JamesMLane 18:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I disagree. In many races, including Hackett's bid for Congress, there were several lesser known candidates running.  It would be difficult to compile FA on all candidates.  If one article is good, the fact other articles need improvement should be no bar to it being FA.

Image of Jean Schmidt
Please note that I have reduced Jean Schmidt's image on this page - primarily because the article is on Paul Hackett, not Schmidt. Stude62 14:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk radio
I added a reference to Hackett's appearance on Air America. Future career choice? Who knows. --Starkruzr 09:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Rank?
What was his rank? Tempshill 03:57, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * "Hackett saw active duty in the United States Marine Corps from 1989 to 1992, and then joined the Select Marine Corps Reserve. In 2004, he volunteered for active duty in the Iraq War, spending seven months as a civil affairs officer with the 4th Civil Affairs Group of the 1st Marine Division. He was assigned to Ramadi and supported the Fallujah campaign and reconstruction efforts there. On 21 October 2004, a convoy under his command was hit by two roadside bombs, but Hackett was uninjured. He returned to Ohio in early 2005."


 * 89 to 92? In the Marine Corps? LCpl - Sgt if he was enlisted (probably Cpl), probably 1Lt - Cpt if he was an officer. I dunno if "civil affairs officer" is a billet or an actual officer thingy. --Johnny (Cuervo) 00:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The "Unterfuhrer" Controversy
I noticed an addition to the article citing this episode was removed, with the rationale that it was a non-controversy noticed by "some blogger". I submit that the fact that Hackett addressed his comments the next day on Mark Levin's radio show suggests that this is more than that. How much more is debatable, but sufficient that it can be noted in the article. I have modified the article accordingly. 207.47.232.64 20:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, so where is the quote from the Mark Levin show? --Asbl 23:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The quote is at the provided link (which contains a full audio clip of the segment). I've paraphrased from it in the (restored due to blanking) paragraph on the issue.  Feel free to revise the passage further (but don't blank) if this is still not "balanced" enough, or discuss it here. Hiddekel 01:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

Good Article Review has been initiated
a Good Article Review has been initiated to delist this article from the GA lists since there are no inline citations. The above notice has been in place for months, and NO action has been taken to improve this article. --Jayron32| talk | contribs 05:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Delisted per Good Article Review consensus
This article has been delisted as a Good Article per this archived discussion at Good Article Review. The main concern of the delisting discussion was the lack of inline citations to support specific factual claims made by the article. If fixes can be made to bring it up to the standards at the Good Article criteria page please do so, and then renominate the article at WP:GAC. Good luck and happy editing. --Jayron32| talk | contribs 05:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Moved
Under WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, this article should have never been the primary article for Paul Hackett. While the individual had some passing notability during the 2006 election cycle, he never demonstrated superior notability to Paul Hackett (American football) under the analysis presented under the WP Policy: Incoming wikilinks are similar (with the notable career of the two-time head coach Hackett); visit traffic; and google hits (which are similar, slightly favoring the football Hackett). For those reasons, I am changing Paul Hackett to the disambiguation page. --Bobak (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
