Is this an encyclopedia article or a blog post praising the congresswoman for being a gay-friendly Scientologist? I think this is in need of some sort of rewrite. --Caponer 07:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I'll second that. Magicwombat 19:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I'll third it. I'm skeptical that she's a darling of the LGBT community - I'd like to see some proof, please.
- Is it even confirmed she's a Scientologist? I've heard of people who go to Scientology events, but aren't Scientologists. For example one site says on "August 7, 2004, she presented a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in recognition of the Scientology Celebrity Centre’s 35th anniversary of "humanitarian and voluntary contributions", together with Rep. Brad Sherman." Sherman is not listed as a Scientologist.--T. Anthony 14:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lehtinen? Where does that name come from?
Is it because she is married to a man of Finnish heritage (the name sound finnish), or because one of her parents are of finnish origin? --Konstantin 12:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I am also wondering about it? Cus the name Lehtinen is as Finnish as it can be. Dr.Poison 16:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
From her website: "In the Florida Legislature she met and married Florida Representative Dexter Lehtinen, who later went on to become the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida."
Her husband is of Finnish origin.. And as for her being Gay-Friendly, SHE IS. The HRC has rated her with an 86% approval rate for the 108th Congress and an 88% approval rate so far in the 109th Congress. Callelinea 04:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Religion as "Scientology"
Based upon some brief research I could find no support of the claim that the subject of this article refers to herself as being of the Scientologist religion. Certainly she "supports" the group but that is quite obviously irrelevant and different, as one doesn't imply the other.
- There is nothing in the article that says she is a Scientologist. (She appears to be mum on the subject, probably because of the obvious political fallout.) However, she is a politician and the controversial use of her political office to support Scientology causes and her receipt of Scientology campaign contributions is certainly relevant and of interest to her constituents, wiki readers, and students of religion and politics.--66.176.130.243 10:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:John-l.jpg
Image:John-l.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

- It's a fair use image (a publicity/PR photo). I will upload it again and add the required explanation or rationale.--MiamiManny (talk) 17:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photo Captions
The captions on the new photos read like press releases from Ros-Lehtinen's office. I fixed one of them to eliminate POV but more is needed. --MiamiManny (talk) 17:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- In addition to the POV issues, there doesn't appear to be any legit reason for two of the photos -the one with the man in the Century Council t-shirt and one with the group of students. Any thoughts?--MiamiManny (talk) 17:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Position Section
This section reads like a press release from Ros Lehtinen's Office. In fact, many of the sources are from press releases. This section needs to be cleaned up for balance. --MiamiManny (talk) 14:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Scientology Gala Photo
Not sure why the Scientology Gala photo was deleted again. It's a publicity photo clearly covered under fair use. I hope the deletion is not for political reasons. I will upload it again and add to the article. Please discuss here before deleting again. Thank you.--MiamiManny 18:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Another deletion of the Scientology Gala Photo. Again it's a promotional photo clearly covered under fair use. Sadly, it appears this is politically motivated as no discussion or rationale was made here. I will restore again.--MiamiManny (talk) 11:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

- I added yet another tag to the photo to justify its use. The effort being made by some Wikpedians to exclude photos that are clearly fair us is extraordinary. Wikpedians should be focused on efforts to keep photos, not to remove them. Shame.--MiamiManny (talk) 22:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
