[edit] References

It would be nice to know what facts in particular we need references for. You can add {{fact}} after questionable statements. Theshibboleth 05:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

There's very little that's referenced now, so it would really clutter the article to add many fact tags. For starters, the "Segments", "Celebrity interviews", and "Controversies" have no sources at all, though they contains facts and opinions. The biography section has one source, covering just one fact. Lack of sources is a common problem with talk show host biographies. My theory is that regular listeners feel they know the information so well that they engage in unwitting original research. In any case, we need to keep this material verifiable. -Will Beback · · 06:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Layout of the article

It would appear that the article on John Ziegler has been expanded over time in such a way that the headings are no longer accurately representing the contents of the sections. Therefore, I think that a major change in layout of the article would be beneficial. My suggestion for such a new layout would include the following headings:

1) The John Ziegler Show (focus of the show, Leah Brandon, segments, etc.) 2) Controversies and celebrity interviews (O.J. Simpson, the confrontations, Gary Sinise, John Kerry, etc.) 3) Positions (where does John Ziegler stand on the issues) 4) Biography (only facts about John Ziegler)
