Indiana Political Heroes Author Geoff Paddock
Sorry if my formatting skills aren't the best, but I was reading this article and something doesn't seem right. The section 'Indiana Political heroes' Author Geoff Paddock seems to be a word for word reprint of a book by said author. I haven't actually read the book, but it seems like the most likely scenario. In addition, there is no citation, and much of the text is already included earlier in the article. Actually, not that I look at it again, the sections that have the same material earlier in the article are also not cited. This looks like a section that should probably be eliminated, no? Or at least merged into the rest of the article and cited. I'm contemplating removing the entire section myself, if I don't see objections in the relatively near future (1 or 2 weeks).

 * That section heading may be gone, but much of this article still reads like it was lifted from a hagiography: largely adulatory tone and very few references. I know rather little about the man and his career, but there's quite a bit of work to be done here. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 11:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

"Last Democrat Besides a Member of the Birch Family to be Elected"?
Now that Donnelly has been elected to the Senate, that needs to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.157.211.165 (talk) 21:05, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
