What's the deal? (Billybond19923 (talk) 23:04, 3 July 2016 (UTC))Reply

Hey @Billybond19923:. There are some concerns with your editing—namely the addition of unsourced content, poor citations, and removal of maintenance templates. There are some posts on your talk page explaining this, but I'm happy to go into more detail if you have questions. GorillaWarfare (talk) 00:21, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Controversies or attempted take-downs? edit

Why would his wearing a bullet-proof vest to the US-Mexican border be considered controversial? That just sounds like someone has a grudge against him.

It's not, and more importantly, there shouldn't be a separate criticism section, notable issues should be woven throughout the article. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 02:29, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Seems like description is on the biased side edit

Fundraise part edit

@2603:7000:2f00:38f:5c33:3f48:6adc:9078 hello i have reverted your edits. I would say rather than deleting the entire section, like you have, i would insist adding the additional details that you have mentioned along with citation. This gives the viewer the complete picture, as opposed to hiding the entire thing all together. Ping me when you reply--LostCitrationHunter (talk) 07:59, 6 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

UNT graduation edit

Is there a source stating he graduated from the University of North Texas? We list him in the infobox as having a BA, which may be a reasonable inference if he graduated, since UNT's current poli sci degree is a BA (though the current criminal justice degree is a BS). I see sources describing him as an alumnus, but sometimes that term is used to indicate a former student rather than a graduate. I am reading some information about Jones entering politics in his third year at UNT and at one point planning to attend law school, but I don't see anything that discusses whether he completed the undergraduate degree.

Stop making Wikipedia so blatantly biased edit

Obviously, most know wikipedia and the "media" in general leans to the left. That makes sense... fair enough. Thats life.... we ALL now that by now..

But someone here keeps insisting that his intro must include he "rose to prominence" for COVERING A STORY at a local news app over a small business that refused to cater to a gay wedding.. defaming his as a homophobe for political bias to be infused here. If you have ANY references to back up THIS is why he "made a name for himself", please bring it up here before defaming him.

I made a separate "controversy" section to include this, to be fair - but for a 31 yr old black conservative - he is relatively unknown to 99% of society. To claim he rose to prominence over covering something for a local news outlet (whether he supported it or not) and downplaying his promotion to the nation's most popular morning news/opinion/entertainment show is just insulting and racist. 96.248.107.174 (talk) 17:58, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
