== silly season can at least wait until announcements are made ==

The adding of trivia not considered important by major reliable sources is pretty useless and seems to be based on Misplaced Pages being a daily newspaper. It isn't. Wait until ''multiple major sources'' bring up actual issues before littering this BLP with trivia, please. ] (]) 12:35, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
:It's not trivial; it's biographical. Adding content about Bush's "troubled" times at Phillips Academy is perfectly fine, and probably necessary per ] , although it should be written in an encyclopedic tone.

:::There is ''some'' content there, but it's rather poorly written. I would hope that we could come up with something a little better than a compliment sandwich. Also, I think it would be great if we could find sources to expand the early years section, as it's a little sparse. Unfortunately, my HighBeam subscription expired so I'm somewhat limited in what I would be able to find. When I have a chance I will try to come up something that might work better than the two sentences above.- ]] 18:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Which do you consider a reliable source? ] (]) 22:43, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Actually the source for the unredacted copies is ... the State of Florida. Bush released nothing not already available. "Asked for comment, a Bush spokesperson Kristy Campbell said that the emails are an “exact replica” of those on public record that are available at the Florida Department of State and are “available at anyone’s request under Chapter 119 sunshine laws.”'' ] (]) 23:15, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
:Actually
:{{talkquote|"But some messages were personal appeals that included intimate details of people’s lives, medical and employment information, and even Social Security numbers – none of which were redacted, according to BuzzFeed News, which perused eight years’ worth of emails."|source=}}

From CSM: ''Indeed, most of Mr. Bush’s emails came with a disclaimer: “Most written communications to or from state officials regarding state business are public records available to the public and media upon request. Your e-mail communications may therefore be subject to public disclosure.”'' due to Florida State law. Cheers. ] (]) 23:57, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

::Do you consider the CSM fact to be an attempt to "make Bush appear righteous"? Or the simple statement of fact that people knew in advance that the emails were not secret? ] (]) 00:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
:::I don't care. Why is it notable? How does it add to the articles encyclopedic value?] ]</font> 00:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
::::Indeed. And roughly two thirds of the content now in our article attempts to excuse the release of the emails, while the weight given to this material in our sources is about one third. Also, writing that CSM "noted" is blatantly ]. Thus, the POV tag.- ]] 00:57, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
:::::"Noted" is not "weasel" when dealing with a ''statement of simple fact''. In the case of the Christian Science Monitor, they have a very high reputation for statements of fact. If you did not feel so, you would have removed the very same source from the BLP already, I trust. ] (]) 01:01, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
::::::Incorrect. In fact, it's one of the big, bold examples in ]. The word we should use is "stated" or "said" or "wrote". Better yet, we should leave the quote out altogether.- ]] 01:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

::::::It's notable because it's unprecedented, especially for a presidential candidate. Also because CNN, ABC, CSM, Yahoo, Huffington Post, Chicago Sun Times, Politico, USA Today, Minneapolis Star Tribune, MSNBC, New York Times, Tampa Bay Tribune, Slate, Breitbart, Chicago Daily Herald, International Business Times, Boomberg, NBC, Daily Mail, Newsweek, Time, The Atlantic, Washington Times and Washington Post thought it worthy of some ink.- ]] 02:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
:::::::Where does it state that its unprecedented? Is he the first person ever to release emails?

But of course we all can't conveniently lose our emails, like the IRS did.--] ]</font> 03:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
::::::::Correct. I had to treat it as "notable" because two editors pretty much ''insisted'' it was important. But in the great scheme of things, it is about as important as what Bush has for breakfast in the run-up to silly season. ] (]) 13:26, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::Notability, but more importantly, ] is determined by the extent of coverage in reliable source (please let me know if you disagree). I have listed a very large number of diverse sources that have covered this. I'm a little shocked that a release of 300,000 emails by U.S. presidential candidate and former governor is characterized as unimportant.- ]] 13:33, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

:Why not? It explains what happened, that the release was (probably) lawful, and that personal details were revealed. What more needs to be said?- ]] 01:11, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
::It says "exposed", uses poor grammar, and the number of SSNs is unknown -- yet the implication is made that a great many had them and that they were not ''told'' the emails were public records. As the governor's Contact page ''explicitly'' tells people about the law, that omission is pretty bad. Cheers. ] (]) 01:32, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
:::So change "exposing" to "revealing"; tweak the grammar; and leave the rest alone.
