Ashcroft Group & $50 million No Bid Contract

There appears to be no justification other than a personal opinion.

Please advise as to how to correct and re-instate this historical nationally significant item?

Merge proposal: The Ashcroft Group to John Ashcroft

The Ashcroft Group has beent agged for notability for 7 years, but could be a valuable section here. Boleyn (talk) 14:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and made the redirect since nobody objected. It made sense since that page was a stub and it seems to fit better here. FuriouslySerene (talk) 18:03, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Massino

One of [[John Ashcroft]]'s final acts as Attorney General was to order federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Massino.<ref>{{cite news|last=Glaberson|first=William|title=Judge Objects to Ashcroft Bid for a Mobster's Execution|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/13/nyregion/13mob.html?ref=roslynnrmauskopf&pagewanted=print&position=|accessdate=2012-04-21|newspaper=The New York Times|date=2004-11-13}}</ref> The Quixotic Potato (talk) 15:55, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duplication of "curtain" info

The information re the curtain being drawn in front of two statues (Spirit of Justice, a female, and the male Majesty of Justice) occurs in two sections of this entry. It is more fully covered in the section "Political Issues" than in "As U.S. Attorney General." I was planning to eliminate the less detailed version but felt someone might have a reason it should be mentioned twice (?) JeanEva Rose (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well done, thank you. 2601:246:C700:19D:B160:B273:E4A3:8B0F (talk) 05:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Musican Category

It might be just me but the musican categories strike me as out of place. Despite his musical activity he clearly an amateur (I don’t mean that as a knock). The musican categories are really only meant for professional musican or people who meet Notability for their musical activities-not for hobbiest, no matter how famous otherwise. Does anybody have any thoughts? Grey Wanderer (talk) 05:41, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Second paragraph

"He has written several books about political and ethic." This doesn't make sense. Please fix. 108.226.82.214 (talk) 04:01, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with correspondence between stated sources and content

See edit summary just before time stamp of this Talk entry. I checked one of several paragraphs in one section, and found repeated violations of WP:VERIFY. Earlier references to "pancreatitis", Stellar Wind, "semi-conscious"-ness, and phone call to security detail (¶4, earlier and closing sentences) were not found in the appearing end-of-paragraph source. (Oddly, the source was placed after the last sentence, which in particular was also not verifiable at that source!) Likely, this fast-and-loose approach was used elsewhere, so I would recommend a top-down check of sources here. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:19D:B160:B273:E4A3:8B0F (talk) 05:49, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
