[edit] Possible weaknesses of article
Additional links in the body of the article for the schools attended, etc. would seem called for. Also, phrases like "proud parent" are really not neutral, as per wikipedia guidelines. I think the article is generally well constructed, but a greater neutrality and more thorough linking would be a good idea. Lastly, lists are generally done in a bulleted format.

[edit] S.B. 286
I just read through Senate Bill 286, and it's accompanied Notes From Legislative Hearing. The notes on the bill indicate that the bill was accompanied by Senate Bill 571 (also authored by Shapleigh) which allows for "the Comptroller to conduct performance reviews at four-year higher education institutions" as it was sent to the Senate Government Organization Committee for a hearing. Anyway, back to my point, the bill relates to the continuation and functions of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and has nothing to do with the increasing of tuition rates.

[edit] Cautionary Tags
Stampedem has tagged this article with {{Unreferenced}}, and {{Not verified}} in response to the tagging of the Dee Margo article with the same tags. Please see Talk:Dee_Margo for further details. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stampedem (talk • contribs) .
- I have renamed the "External Links" section as "References" to avoid any confusion. All aspects of the article are included within the two links within this category. I am removing these tags as I feel they are no longer necessary. Stampedem has been warned that retaliative behavior is unacceptable. Somnabot 21:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] One sidedness
The slant that this article has leaves me almost speechless. It is so blatantly pro-Eliot Shapleigh. This article is not, to any unbiased person, nuetral. The fact that there has been no vigilence on behalf of this article's "keeper" to amend this problem is very hypocritical in light of the vigilence given when any mention of Eliot Shapleigh's opponent was made. This article has grown to be essentially campaign literature for Shapleigh. Stampedem
- The posts you made were in the wake of the campaign season. Please be reminded that this article is about Senator Eliot Shapleigh, not about his political opponent. Much unlike the article you created for his opponent, Dee Margo, there have been no other concerns raised as to a bias, whether lacking or inherent, within this article. When you edited a "Controversy" section into this artcle, nobody edited it out (dare I say "as a part of a conspiracy to somehow promote Shapleigh's presence on Wikipedia"?). What was factual remained, and only what was lacking in credibility was edited out. I understand that you may not agree with the integrity of this article, but please bare in mind that trolling is not tolerated on Wikipedia. Somnabot 22:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oh please. How long have you been with Shapleigh's staff? Do you still have to sit at the small desk or did this bullshit vault you into your own cube? User: hotballsjohnson
