Political career

How can she make any point?

"Carnahan has made a point of publicly professing her support for the Second Amendment"

There are volumes available to her coordinating efforts to remove the ability of self-protection to law-abiding citizens.

Seems that something has gone missing. I've made additions.

Wind farm "scandal"

A BLP is not an appropriate place to detail attack ads run by a candidate's political opponents. Just because John Doe goes up with an ad saying Jane Smith pushes old ladies into traffic doesn't justify putting it in the article about Jane. Now, if there were news coverage of Jane Smith's record of pushing old ladies into traffic, that would be a different matter entirely, but her opponent saying it doesn't meet the standard.

Wrong. The information is supported by an article by the Associated Press, a reliable source. Now, you might like the information, but that does not mean that it is not notable or supported by a reliable source. Please remember: Wikipedia is not censored.--InaMaka (talk) 16:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No need to be so hostile, InaMaka. The point I'm trying to make is that often, reliable sources (like the AP) reports that Candidate X says something about Candidate Y. The source isn't saying the accusation is true, potentially true, verifiable, etc. Just that one candidate said it about another. That doesn't seem like it meets the criteria of belonging in a BLP.

It really does not matter, it is undue and POV to add criticism from a political opponent even if the BBC report it.. Off2riorob (talk) 17:11, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same issue exists on Russ Carnahan -- am going to remove it there as well. Arbor832466 (talk) 17:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merged Wind Farm section into "political positions" since it stems from her Recovery Act vote. Removed partisan attack quote from political opponent. Hope that settles this. Arbor832466 (talk) 19:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would go with "Q reported that Candidate A said X about candidate B". This cannot be libelous/defamatory. I would decide whether to include it or not based on relevance/notability. I remember seeing something recently about how it's we only need to verify that the content of the Wikipedia article agrees with a reference, and not that the reference itself is correct/true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabiteodoru (talk • contribs) 02:48, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RfC : In light of BLP, how should uncofirmed allegations be handled when reported by a reliable source?

Essentially the issue is if Candidate A says X terrible thing about Candidate B, and then a reliable source reports that "Candidate A said X about B" without corroborating whether X is accurate (just that A said it), then is it appropriate to put it in the Wikipedia article about Candidate B?

Most of this article reads like a campaign ad for Carnahan. Needs balance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.51.185.47 (talk) 21:39, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The article is substantial, but lacks a lead that properly summarizes the article. The online citations could also profit from assessment dates, perhaps using citation templates makes for less work. I replaced the county banner - she went to law school in the county, that connects her to the school but not so much to the county. Hekerui (talk) 10:47, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
