Talk:Rick Snyder

Lead poisoning in Flint
This article is blatantly and obviously Republican propaganda. Wikipedia is not a site for hagiography and self-promotion. This entire article will now be rewritten with a neutral point of view. The new article will address the most notable and famous episode of Rick Snyder's life, which is his intentional poisoning of the citizens of Flint, Michigan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:a280:9b00:11b2:3bde:595f:7444 (talk) 13:17, December 19, 2015‎
 * I've added some further detail about the water crisis in Flint. Are there other parts of the article that are imbalanced? gobonobo  + c 21:57, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 January 2016
Please remove "the Michigan Chapter of The Nature Conservancy" from the following sentence: He serves on the boards of the U.S. National Historic Landmark Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, the Michigan chapter of the Nature Conservancy, and several boards associated with the University of Michigan. Add this sentence directly following that to say: "He served on The Nature Conservancy's Michigan Board of Trustees from 2005 to 2010."

Clarification on presence of -elect successors in infobox
Hi,, my edit to remove the governor-elect from the infobox successor field was reverted by this edit, with the comment, "We show the governors-elect". I would like to get some clarification on this, since the instructions for say not to include -elect or -designate successors, or the end of an incumbent's term, until such an event actually transpires. This guideline seems to say the infobox should represent reality as exists today, not as it may be one day—the governor-elect is not currently the successor to the governor, though she will become his successor once his term ends and she is sworn in. Where is the guideline that gives the opposite guidance? Sarcasmboy (talk) 08:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * For years, it's been the practice on political bios to show an individual's successor-to-be in the infobox. For example, check across the articles of the current lame-duck US governors & lieutenant governors & you'll see their successors-to-be mentioned. GoodDay (talk) 15:11, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the response. I think that, if this is indeed where the consensus is on this topic, the instructions for should be updated to reflect that. At the moment, they are in conflict with the practice as you describe. I will say, it does still seem inconsistent to me to list the successor-elect but not list the end of term, since these are linked to the same actual event, the swearing in of his successor. If he were to leave office early, both the term-end and successor would be different. Sarcasmboy (talk) 20:59, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * There's an Rfc currently opened, concerning whether or not to show the successors-to-be in the infoboxes. GoodDay (talk) 21:16, 19 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Two related Rfcs on this matter at WikiProject Biography/Politics and government. -- GoodDay (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

May someone please add that the charges have been dropped? Thank you.

This is done Prunklethefox (talk) 23:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)


 * @Prunklethefox No, it's not. Once again mention of the charges being dropped it's missing from the article. Who keeps removing it? 47.132.127.113 (talk) 01:04, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, yes it is. The last sentence in the main body of the article says they were dismissed in December of 2022 and cites the Judge's name as well.
 * Please read carefully. If you still don't see it, I'm not sure how I can help. Prunklethefox (talk) 05:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Prunklethefox This is just sloppy editing. Purposely omitting the context of the indictment. The judge who performed a one man grand jury and the embarrassment of being corrected by an upper court. All of which was blatant political persecution, the likes of which we're seeing played out continually. 47.132.127.113 (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Exonerated
The one person grand jury, a judge from outside the Flint district, did not have the authority to indict Snyder. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/13/us/flint-michigan-rick-snyder-water-crisis/index.html All charges were dismissed. Why does this get removed from the article? 47.132.127.113 (talk) 01:14, 27 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I would imagine it's because dropped charges do not meet the definition of "Exoneration". Prunklethefox (talk) 05:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Prunklethefox please look up the definition of exonerated. 47.132.127.113 (talk) 16:23, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Exonerated
 * Exoneration requires conviction.
