Talk:Jeffrey Lord

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Lslong427 in topic Controversy?

I have re-worded the term "controversy

edit

The whole article just seems like a biased hatchet job on Lord, while if you slip over to Symone Sanders page, her controversies are listed as "political views." The whole section should be taken out, but I can't go that far.Bjoh249 (talk) 16:57, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply


Disambiguation

edit

A new article has been created that conflicts with this name. Jeffery Lord is evidently the pseudonym used by multiple authors for a large (most likely WP:N) Series of books the Richard Blade Series. I think the best option may be for a link to the other article from the top of each and possibly a Disambiguation Page where the redirects once stood. Currently the author's article has been created at Jeffrey Lord but I'm proposing moving it to something similar to Jeffrey Lord (Author) to further distenquish and then Jeffrey Lord can be turned into the main disambig page. Thoughts from anyone?Jamesofur (talk) 22:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok I just realized this was the focus of a AfD recently so I'm going to figure out what if anything that can be done. Jamesofur (talk) 00:23, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Controversy?

edit

This happened last night, may or may not turn into something bigger

Van Jones: "The clan killed people by race"

Jeffrey Lord: "And they did it to further the progressive agenda."

Is the exchange on CNN really significant enough to warrant an entry under "Controversies"? It seems like an account of a pretty ordinary exchange on a cable news show. Circumspect (talk) 04:11, 19 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Little of what is listed there is "controversial in that most can be dismissed out of hand. Avocats (talk) 02:28, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Whether controversial or not likely depends on one's personal opinions of the individual in question. However, currently this material falls under the mis-leading category of "political commentator." Some of the topics identified in this section were expressed during his career as a political commentator, however, some are merely his views as a citizen. Additionally, "political commentator" as a sub-section under "Career" would be more indicative of 'what he did' than 'how he thinks.' It is confusing, and not wholly accurate. I would recommend a more neutral headline for this section of "Opinions" or "Political Philosophy" - as those are really what are being expressed here. Is there agreement on changing the headline?

Move to 'Jeffrey'?

edit

He's always called Jeffrey on CNN. Move? Rothorpe (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I found more references to him in reliable media sources as Jeffrey than Jeff on a Google search of his name, so I tend to agree it should be moved, with a reference back from "Jeff Lord." Circumspect (talk) 04:13, 19 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Primary sources

edit

I tagged this for {{primarysources|date=May 2016}} because much of the information comes entirely from his own sources or news stories, e.g. the claim that he worked on the Bork nomination. Please do not remove that tag until better sources are found and added to the article. Bearian (talk) 21:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
