Talk:Sonny Perdue/Archive 1

Editorializing
I have a problem with the following:

"In education, Perdue has focused on returning decision-making to the local level, unraveling the progress in education reform made by his predecessor."

To say Perdue reversed many Roy Barnes policies might be a statement of fact. To say he unraveled progress is stating an opinion which has no place in a reference resource. 72.155.47.183 04:49, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

No citation, and editoralizing based on an uncited poll: Perdue Sinks in the Latest Polls: Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) is in for a tough reelection battle. According to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, Perdue’s lead over Secretary of State Cathy Cox (D) has almost evaporated to within just 6 points, 48% to 42%, after leading by as many as 21 points two months ago. +   + Perdue's tax increases and education failures are taking their toll on his approval ratings.

Untitled section
This article needs much more information and perhaps reduced attention to the once controversial flag issue. --WCFrancis 17:05, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know about the rest of the country, but the flag issue is still fairly controversial anywhere in Georgia outside Atlanta.12.150.117.30 21:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Need More infomation about his switch in political parties as senator.

Non-notable trivia
Moving this non-notable info here for two reasons: (1) it needs to be cited before being readded to the article and (2) this info really doesn't belong in an encyclopedic article about the Governor IMHO. Better place would be in the articles about the show and movie than here.


 * Perdue will play the role of an East Carolina University football coach in the movie We Are Marshall, portions of which were filmed in Georgia.


 * The character of Early Cuyler in an episode of Squidbillies wore a Confederate flag trucker hat with the popular slogan "Sonny Lied." The show is set in the north Georgia mountains.

Needs A Warning Flag
This page is violating the NPOV Statutes, and needs a warning flag and some cleanup. Kagurae 07:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)Kagurae The following was moved from User talk:Viridae:The primary issue with the Sonny Perdue page is the amount of editorializing that has been found. ''The first piece that tipped things off was the mention of local control involving schools, in paragraph 4 (I believe). Specifically of note was the statement that Perdue was not getting in the way of the legislature involving extra paperwork for homosexual clubs. I wouldn't have thought it serious, but the language that was used seemed to be very editorial in nature. ''

''The second issue that I was going to bring up was the issue of cleanup involving the article. It seems to look more messy. Being as I have had issues trying to clean up such pages, I would have figured to put up a "clean up banner" would have helped.''

''Anyhow, since everything has been resolved, I have no need to worry about it. Thank you for taking the time to help.''  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.223.194.94 (talk • contribs)  Viridae Talk 07:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

You have to admit, Sonny puts the 'goober' back into the word 'gubernatorial'... this is one mediocre clown. Faveuncle 02:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Faveuncle
