The link to the Japanese article on this page needs to be removed. It is about a seperate Axelrod who is a "far right Israeli lobbyist" arrested in 1990 for killing an Arab person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by I am 123456 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

For future reference, WP:SOFIXIT; Japanese article links look like this: [[ja:ダヴィド・アクセルロッド]].скоморохъ 16:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Does "Democratic" in the first sentence refer to the Democratic Party? If so, someone should change the link; it currently links to "democracy". All in 03:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. --HailFire 20:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC

What does it mean to say he has jewish parents? Is he a practicing Jew? I note he is head of a fundraising committee for the catholic church that the controversial priest who spoke at Wrights church spoke at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.243.223 (talk) 16:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should be High Importance

This man is sort of Karl Rove —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.223.193.144 (talk) 08:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

"...sort of Karl Rove..." I dunno, I think this guy has cleared the hurdle of notability, but is biographical information about him of high importance? I would think not. He rates mid at best in Illinois (and that importance may be transitory, right now hes "current events", remains to be seen if he merits more than a footnote to "history"), perhaps high in Chicago if thats his area of influence.PreciousRoi (talk) 00:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] axelrod and web 2.0

I'm changing "Axelrod is credited with engineering Barack Obama's unconventional presidential campaign by drawing on 'Web 2.0' technology and viral media to support a grassroots strategy," because I've found a source that this is not true. While he's involved in implementing this strategy, he certainly did not in anyway engineer this strategy. [1] Ocedits (talk) 03:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
