Mrazek
Someone calling him/herself "Drmies" left a note saying s/he "trimmed the fat" from the article but what s/he did was delete all the information about the legislation Mrazek introduced while he was in Congress.

Fat-trimming is one thing; amputating a limb is another.

People look to Wikipedia for precisely the sort of source information that was, before Drmies cut it, provided in the article, so I re-attached the limb and - critique acknowledged - I trimmed the fat.

I also relocated the info about Mrazek's retirement, put it in the Biography section.

Please get back to me if you feel there needs to be any more discussion about this? Thanks. Ruth-Claire (talk) 17:01, 13 August 2011 (UTC)Ruth-Claire

I removed the book reviews you added to this article. Wikipedia's rules of maintaining a neutral point of view means that we need a lot of evidence before we can publish a single glowing review. I'd stick to the awards the book won, which are factual. For every good review, there is a bad one, and it's better not to have Wikipedia act as a book review clearinghouse. Please let me know if you have any questions by leaving a message on my talk page. --Esprqii (talk) 18:41, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Please proofread your edits--use the "preview" to make sure you are not making "red" links. You have created numerous broken links in this article (you cannot arbitrarily change capitalization based on your understanding of whether something is a proper noun, for example).

 * Hi there, you put a comment on my talk page, but it was actually DMacks (talk) whose comment you are responding to, so you may want to discuss further with that user on his or her talk page. Briefly though, I think the point was that the link in the article lede that is intended to go Congressman Mrazek's congressional district article is currently a redlink, meaning it goes to an article that doesn't exist. This is because the Wikipedia manual of style has determined that congressional district articles don't use capital letters. It's fine if you disagree with that, and in fact, you are welcome to state your views on this with the U.S. Congress wikiproject and see if they want to change it; but for now, if you want the link to go to the relevant article, you should follow the Wikipedia standards. Hope that helps. --Esprqii (talk) 23:45, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
