This whole article, with the exception of the lead, has apparently been copied and pasted from the biography webpage of the subject's official state senate website (http://www.senatorrafferty.com/biography-2/). This has been done without citation, but the official website is listed under the External Links section.50.166.106.202 (talk) 13:34, 15 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Move per WP:JR

edit

A few months ago, a new community consensus was reached to omit the comma before "Jr." in all cases except a very few "where it is clearly and consistently preferred for a particular subject in current, reliable sources." The guideline WP:JR was updated to reflect this consensus, and an effort is ongoing to convert existing titles site-wide. To my knowledge, no exception cases have yet been identified. Pursuant to that effort I moved this article on 23 May. As with all such moves, I linked to WP:JR in my edit summary. Yesterday, the user Baron Tosaurus moved the article back without explanation. Since the criterion specified in the guideline has not been satisfied, I am moving it once again. I ask all editors to observe the policies and guidelines clearly linked in edit summaries. ―Mandruss  02:26, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
