This article fails to mention the critisms of bob holden. it should be reworked to mention his critisnms along with what already here. I mean ever democrat i knew didn't like him. certanly you have something you can say. - david king

I was going to give the photo a caption, but don't know who's over Holden's right shoulder (over his left shoulder is MO Attorney General Jay Nixon) or what the situation is. - jredmond 16:26, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hey Jredmond I don't know who wrote this stuff about Holden but the source is valid and why not rework it instead of deleting it. This article on Holden is not well written to begin with lets not delete new information the minute a person makes a contribution of valid information.

The new information might need to NPOV work out but I do not see anything in new material that contains false data. As well we should not be so quick to revert new information when the article is a stub and invites the reader to improve the articles. BCV 18:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC) reply

That material reads like campaign lit, though, and is wildly outside the bounds of NPOV (which is "absolute and non-negotiable"). We can use some of it, especially the bits about his family, but quoting it directly is right out.

Also, for what it's worth, the Missouri state manual is not covered by the same law that puts federal government documents in the public domain; that text you quoted might not be GFDL-able. I'm looking at the PDF now but don't see anything; presumably, there is copyright information in the print edition. - jredmond 18:57, 25 July 2005 (UTC) reply

OK, I am proceeding with a re-write of the current material to make it NPOV. BCV 19:05, 25 July 2005 (UTC) reply

I just did a heavy rewrite of the article. Not much of the content has changed (I don't think I removed anything), but I reorganized everything into sections that make it more readable. I got rid of the old electoral info section (percentage win in elections) and just integrated the information into the article. I added the bit about his nickname, one-term Bob, and his calling the legislature back into special session for higher education funding. Other than that, it's pretty uncontroversial editing: sentence rewrites and stuff. -- Chaser ( T) 02:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC) reply
