==Blanking==

Entire sections were blanked with no explanation, despite their being sourced. Let's not start editing out parts of articles without reason. Whether you like a politician or not, if it is sourced, I say we should leave it in.

== Article is totally cluster****ed ==

Looks like major edit warring has left this article a total cluster****. May be time for an extended semi-protect to try to get this article back into some decent shape. [[User:Safiel|Safiel]] ([[User talk:Safiel|talk]]) 03:50, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

== RE: Blanking ==

The blanking was done by a Wikipedia moderator; those were my posts. Here is Wiki's opinion on the matter:

In that statement of Wikipedia policy, it states: "Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives, and the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. "

My point of view is that just because the information I posted was "titilating" doesn't mean it was MEANT to be, or was an attempt to hurt Mr. Rubio. Especially the part about different companies I posted that he worked for as a Lobbyist. How could that be construed as "tabloid" fodder? Basically Wikipedia told me that even if a fact is true, they can't post it because it might be harmful to the person. This guy is a political figure running for office, I think the world deserves to know the truths about him.

Here is an excerpt of the removed material (with sources):

:

Leon County court records show the Deutsche Bank National Trust Company was foreclosing on a home owned by Marco Rubio and state Representative David Rivera, who is running for Congress. Records show the two failed to make payments since January of 2010. The home is currently for sale, listed at $136,500, but court documents show that the balance of the mortgage on June 18th was $134,795. Leon County is the home to the capital city of Florida.

Rubio has a net worth of negative -$103,000.

Marco Rubio served as a Lobbyist in Miami from 1997 to 2005, according to court records in Miami-Dade county. Rubio registered as a Lobbyist seven times; three times in 1997, on mundane zoning and code enforcement efforts; twice in 1998 on behalf of a real estate effort and something called the American Sales & Management Org.; and once each in 2001 and 2002 as agent for companies listed as the Main Line Corp., a computer equipment company, and Pan American, a developer. Rubio filed a form closing out his record as a Lobbyist on May 31, 2005.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EDIT THIS INFO SO IT IS NOT 'TITILATING' AND PERCEIVED AS A DANGER TO MR. RUBIO????

== Best known? ==

The article includes ''He is best known for his book 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future.'' I think that he is best known for his 2010 U.S. Senate campaign. Is some actual source for that "best known" claim? --[[User:Dezidor|Dezidor]] ([[User talk:Dezidor|talk]]) 11:34, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

:Made neutral. Removed claim. --[[User:Manway|Manway]] ([[User talk:Manway|talk]]) 13:01, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

== Hearsay ==

"In spite of the fact that Harry Reid said that he is suprised that anyone of Hispanic origin can be a Republican, Marco is one.[1]"

Regardless of whether or not this is hearsay (note source), many people of Hispanic origin are Republican— it's relatively common. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/173.221.9.139|173.221.9.139]] ([[User talk:173.221.9.139|talk]]) 13:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Needs an editorial sweep... BAD! ==

Lots of grammar and punctuation issues. Also, "GOP" is a little informal for an encyclopedia entry, don't you think? This isn't supposed to be a newspaper aggregate--it's supposed to be a reference document. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.153.0.80|69.153.0.80]] ([[User talk:69.153.0.80|talk]]) 19:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
