Is it Piet? Or, is it Pieter?

The article gives many conflicting spellings of the subject's name. The introductory lead sentence and the infobox say Pieter, but the main body text says Piet. Not only that, the ordering is different, with Piet/Pieter being given as a middle name in some places and as a first name in others. This should be fixed and unified so that it is uniform across the article. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs),

Peter

Does anyone know why government sources such as the Department of State and the US Embassy in the Netherlands refer to him as "Peter"? That's not his birthname (Cornelis Pieter) and not his commonly used name (Pete). It seems justified that Peter Hoekstra redirects here based on that, but it's confusing as the article doens't use Peter anywhere. Lennart97 (talk) 12:21, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

-== WMDs NY Times ==
+== External links modified ==
-On November 3, 2006, The New York Times reported that a website created at the request of Hoekstra and senator Pat Roberts was found to contain detailed information which could help nuclear states produce nuclear weapons. The website was shut down on November 2 following questioning by the Times and protests by International Atomic Energy Agency officials. Jamal Ware, a spokesman for Hoekstra, said complaints about the site "didn’t sound like a big deal .... We were a little surprised when they pulled the plug" ([7]).
-This section appears not to make sense. It says, 'On Nov 3rd the NY times Reported that a website was up' then it says, 'The Website was shut down Nov 2nd.'

-:I'm not going to claim I'm the world's greatest expert on wiki coding, but the "Super Bowl" section of the article is chock full of mangled POV references....added notes that have to with 30 year old issues not related to the controversy itself and notes like "Hoekstra voted for trillions in deficit spending"....meaning, he voted in favor of passing a budget.  These things are not directly related to what happened.  Basically, the controversy adds up to this:  A bunch of people who don't like Hoekstra anyway, either were offended, or pretended to be offended by something he showed on TV.  Other than that, there isn't much to it.[[Special:Contributions/64.222.94.115|64.222.94.115]] ([[User talk:64.222.94.115|talk]]) 04:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

-:::No, not at all.  I think that an ad came out that people apparently feel strongly about, and THAT is the controversy.  If the ad brings back 1980's car smashing, that's relevant.  If an Asian man got attacked in 1982, it isn't.  The ad talks about the opponent's spending record, but the CONTROVERSY is about the chinese character, not the spending, so no matter who talks about Hoekstra's spending record or voting record is not relevant to the issue at hand...leave that to a section on the voting itself.  What the controversy section turns into, rather than describing the ad or its reaction, is ...."Not only is Hoekstra RACIST, BUT...!!!!", which is not that point.

-{{unindent}}'''Split'''
-I think that the [[Pete Hoekstra 2012 Superbowl advertisement in Michigan]] should have its own wikipedia page.  The advertisement has been reviewed by [[Countdown with Keith Olberman]], [[The Young Turks]] and other media outlets.--[[User:Jax 0677|Jax 0677]] ([[User talk:Jax 0677|talk]]) 00:25, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
-:'''Oppose''' Don't think it meets notability criteria for separate article. There's been a spate of coverage since it actually aired (less than a week ago), but it seems likely that it will be reduced to a footnote in the overall campaign. If it becomes a central, defining issue in the campaign, (e.g., [[Macaca_(term)]]), there will be time enough to revisit and split into its own article.
