Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 06:28, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Lead section
Per WP:LEAD a lead section should be "a summary of [an article's] most important contents." The lead section of this article is very short; recent activity in politics is certainly relevant, especially for a politician who is again seeking public office.

If anything the lead needs to be expanded.

I recently reverted an edit that had removed the second paragraph. But it's not a complete reversion, I also removed the word "revealed" which I consider an inappropriate use of the editorial voice, to lend credence to something one politician said about another. Wheeler asserted something; whether it's true or not is beyond Wikipedia's role to determine. I replaced the word "revealed" in three places. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
