Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on February 15, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Bonnie Newman, a former chief of staff to Judd Gregg, had been named to replace him in the United States Senate until Gregg withdrew his nomination for Secretary of Commerce?

Prominent?

[edit]

You're KIDDING right? This article didn't even exist, until yesterday. I'm from New Hampshire, and I hadn't even heard about her until today. Is it ok with everyone if remove the offending adjective? 71.233.230.223 (talk) 06:56, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm from Hungary and I heard from her. *grin* But it's ok that the adjective is out. Cassandro (talk) 23:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A nearly anonymous person to a WP article and Senator in a few days. That's a fast rise. Chergles (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking news, Newman is banned

[edit]

She was banned in 2005 for endorsing Lynch. See http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Bonnie+Newman+has+wielded+power+quietly%3a+Excerpts+from+past+Union+Leader+coverage&articleId=f9b0cb62-6e88-4684-ad8c-729138b4bcb8 Chergles (talk) 00:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not exactly breaking news if it occurred in 2005. Moreover, the linked article says the private golf club which "banned" her was one where she had played exactly once, as a guest. Jonathunder (talk) 01:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

I looked at a lot of press releases, especially from UNH. J. Bonnie Newman is the name used. So the redirect should be to J. Bonnie Newman, not vice versa. Chergles (talk) 15:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The media is referring to her as "Bonnie Newman". I think that should take precedence over the press releases, not to mention that the first initial is more cumbersome. --Muboshgu (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Common names are preferred: you'll find articles at Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, for example, not at William J. Clinton and James E. Carter. Jonathunder (talk) 05:32, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move (again)

[edit]

Okay, I think the page should be moved back to Bonnie Newman, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions. --Muboshgu (talk) 02:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
