Template:0.7 set nom

Mawr

It says: "Boortz was born in Bryn Mawr, Atlanta" -- While he is in Atlanta now, he was BORN in Bryn Mawr, PA.

error in where he was raised

"Boortz was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, but, since his was a military family, he was raised elsewhere, in many locations throughout the country (most notably, in the small community of Thrall, Texas)." "Elsewhere" is not nessassery in the sentence sinse you have "in many locations throughout the country".

Ideological labeling

Boortz self-identifies primarily as a libertarian, but does diverge from some libertarian positions, therefore we should identify him as such here, unless there is very strong sourcing to contradict that. Drrll (talk) 15:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement

Boortz announced on June 4, 2012 that he will retire on January 18, 2013. Northroad (talk) 01:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Religion

The cite for his religion links to an article, but the article never mentions his religion. Should we remove the cite and possibly the reference to him being an Episcopalian? FightingEntropy (talk) 18:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; BLP dictates that unreferenced stuff needs to go. I re-added the reference you removed for the prior sentence, since it was a valid source for that content. --Chris (talk) 18:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah Sorry about that. I only meant to remove that line. I don't edit here a lot, so I'm a bit of a noob at it. Thanks. FightingEntropy (talk) 18:20, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ethanol biased(not misspelled) Gasohol If you leave off the G...it spells Democrat...

From actual use and records I have the following results....I have a 2006 Government Motors Pick-up. If I use ethanol gas I get form 1.5 to 2.5 less miles per gallon than with ethanol free fuel. My truch preforms much better.
