Should this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd#Post-senatorial_career include his recent forays with promoting SOPA for industry? |
|||
For example he's been caught lying for the MPAA here: |

This article cites that Chris Dodd said he wouldn't run in 2010. But he is clearly running. Regardless if he said he wouldn't, everything else in the universe says otherwise, including Chris Dodd. Even Wikipedia's article on the 2010 Senate elections states "Dodd is running for reelection". This article should either reflect that he is running, or omit the line about not running, as it is misleading.

Dodd'd entry in the Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress claims that Dodd served in the US Army from 1969 to 1975. In fact, though, Dodd was in law school and privately practicing law during those years. Wikipedia correctly notes that Dodd was in a reserve component, but doesn't explain how Dodd managed to slip into the Reserves and avoid being sent to Vietnam. As anybody who tried it can testify, you had to know somebody to get into the Reserves in 1969 because everybody was trying to do so to avoid Vietnam. Dodd was clearly seeking to avoid the war and to continue law school. By the way, I don't point this out as an enemy of Dodd; in fact, I like him. But a biography is a biography and it should be accurate and complete. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/70.44.144.184|70.44.144.184]] ([[User talk:70.44.144.184|talk]]) 00:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Hello fellow Wikipedians, |
|||
I disagree. Nobody knows Dodd's reasons for joining the reserves. To imply a reason is editorializing and is neither neutral nor unbiased! Further, it did NOT guarantee avoidance of Vietnam. My entire squadron of the Air Force Reserve was called up and served in Vietnam - one year tours for individuals and several years for the squadron collectively. Twenty-two years later that same squadron was called up again, and we served a year in Operation Desert Storm. |

Why is there no mention of Dodd's "Trent Lott-esque" remarks about Sen. Robert Byrd, a former recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan. Why does a liberal Democrat making comments that can be easily interpreted as racist or pro-KKK not generate as much controversy as a conservative Republican making remarks that can be interpreted as pro-segregationist.[[User:129.22.33.30|129.22.33.30]] 17:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC) |

I have removed the line about Dodd's "allegedly sexually assaulting" a waitress. This is libel. Use of the word "alleged" does not clear Wikipedia from libel, especially if no charges were ever filed. The incident is still in the article, as it is documented in other places, but that wording is removed. The Newsmax link is also removed. Newsmax is an unreliable source to begin with, but the article linked to here is completly speculative. They take a part of Imus' interview and completely add their own imagined context to it. Neither Dodd nor Imus mention the incident specifically, so it is not a good source. [[User:Nut-meg|nut-meg]] 03:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC) |

:Online sources suggest that Kennedy ''threw the woman on Dodd'', thus making Dodd out to be a passive player in this incident.

== National Securities Market Improvement Act == |

== External links modified == |

The article now says: |
|||
: Public Campaign's report cites the following examples: Dodd was an original cosponsor of the [[Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995]], and he helped to organize the Senate's override of President Clinton's veto. The [[National Securities Market Improvement Act]], which ultimately weakened oversight that would have protected investors. Dodd lined up as a cosponsor of the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act, an extension of the earlier securities litigation legislation. The bill was strongly supported by The [[Uniform Standards Coalition]], an ad-hoc group of securities, accounting and high-tech computer firms. |

Checking Thomas, I find that in 1996, there was a Senate bill, S.1815, the Securities Investment Promotion Act of 1996, sponsored by Phil Gramm (R-TX), and Dodd was one of six cosponsors. According to Thomas [http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d104:SN01815:], "Senate passed companion measure H.R. 3005 in lieu of this measure by Unanimous Consent." H.R. 3005 is the "National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996" — the bill noted in the article. Somebody should review Public Campaign's report and see how they connect Sen. Dodd to this bill. Failing that, the incomplete sentence should be removed. [[User:Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris]] 16:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC) |

I was just casually reading the page about retired U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, when I read this sentence: |
|||
==Reduction of Dick Morris comments== |
|||
[[User:EvanCarroll]] made a good start on breaking down the 'Criticism' section; I've continued that by further merging material into the Senate section or Presidential campaign section as appropriate. Also, I've substantially reduced the space given to the Dick Morris comments about him and Arthur Anderson and Enron. It's a legitimate topic, but given how short this article is overall it was getting [[WP:Undue weight]]. Moreover, Morris is the world's most unreliable source — he's a political hack, whether flacking for the Clintons in the 1990s or bloviating for Fox News in the 2000s.

If I'm not mistaken, that sentence is contains biased and/or unsubstantiated statement about the Sen. Dodd, and should be removed or backed up with other documents proving that statement. |

I suggest a section on his role as chair of the banking Committee. These issues are playing a big role in the news. For example I'm reading that Merrill Lynch is getting gobbled up by Bank of America with Federal involvement and that Lehman is moving towards insolvency and liquidation. Dodd's legislative record and his actions in regard to oversight of the financial system seem to me to be of critical importance. I'm happy to do some research and fill in some of the record if others think this would be useful. Eventually the Countrywide Scandal might even be a subheading? Maybe not as I realize it's pretty big. Anyway. That's all for now. ([[User:Wallamoose|Wallamoose]] ([[User talk:Wallamoose|talk]]) 04:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)) |

Sure, the contrast between the two cost estimates makes it seem that Dodd was culpable of destroying 180 billion of tax dollars; while that could be true, it may also be that the first estimate was mistaken in measuring the size of the problem. Simply, no relevant source points to Chris Dodd as the culprit of this discrepancy and putting it in the criticism section is misleading. This section should simply be a collection of criticsm of Chris Dodd from relevant sources; not speculation on the part of the author. --[[User:Pengutron|Pengutron]] ([[User talk:Pengutron|talk]]) 19:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC) |

The prostate cancer was mentioned in the intro but not in the main part of the article. This is bad writing. I have fixed it. I put it under his Senate career, just one sentence. Others may put a sentence in the intro if you want. |
|||
I just looked up prostate cancer in Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a disclaimer so we can't be 100% it is correct. But Wikipedia has an article about prostate cancer staging. It seems like you need to do surgery to tell the stage. Yet, Dodd has not had surgery. So this thing about calling it "early stage" may be correct but is just spin and speculation. I do hope it's the "good" cancer and not the "killer" cancer but nobody knows. |
|||
So we have to be careful what we call it. We shouldn't repeat spin but then we don't want to call Dodd an idiot and a liar either (since he can't know the stage of cancer). |

"and authoring the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA),[13] an unfunded mandate (costs paid by employer) requiring larger employers to provide employees unpaid leave in the event of illness, a sick family member, or the birth or adoption of a child." |
|||
perhaps the best way here would simply be: |
|||
"and authoring the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA),[13]" |
|||
and leave the description of the FMLA to the FMLA article. |
|||
There are still many similar non biographical entries here. |
|||
I'll combine the political Views and Political Positions sections in the coming days. I suspect this will generates a lot of edits. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Angloguy|Angloguy]] ([[User talk:Angloguy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Angloguy|contribs]]) 13:04, 6 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Is there a reason this page is here instead of at [[Chris Dodd]], which is much more commonly? -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 01:19, 3 February 2010 (UTC) |

:Does it matter? [[Chris Dodd]] redirects here. Dodd's Senate homepage says "Christopher J. Dodd," but his (now-defunct) election page says "Chris Dodd," though that could just be because it's an easier domain name to type in. "Chris Dodd" does appear to be somewhat more common, fwiw.

**That's nonsense. First of all, if your initial criterion, how he signs his name, made any difference, then this article would be at "Christopher J. Dodd". Second, you are linking to profiles, not to articles–profiles aren't much of an indicator on what the most common name for the subject is. Such profiles, like people's signatures, tend to go for a formal tone; Wikipedia has chosen to go with what's more commonly used than with what is more formal. What's more, this article itself repeatedly refers to him as "Chris Dodd". -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 21:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC) |

***Actually, there is some merit to keeping his full name. Since there are newspaper articles that use his name, and abbreviations/nicknames/chosen names generally should not take precedence over the normal name, I think it might be good to keep it as is.—[[User:Screwball23|<font color="0000EE">Sc</font><font color="4169E1">r</font><font color="00B2EE">ew</font><font color="FF6600">ba</font><font color="FFFF00">ll</font><font color="9400D3">23</font>]] [[User talk:Screwball23|talk]] 22:45, 6 February 2010 (UTC) |

****Except that it is a question of which ''is'' the "normal" name. He is far more commonly known as Chris Dodd. That comes from more than just news articles. When he is referred to on news and new analysis shows, he is almost invariably called "Chris Dodd". Ditto the Senate floor and in committee hearings. Edward M. Kennedy is at [[Ted Kennedy]], Christopher Bond is at [[Kit Bond]], Addison Mitchell McConnell is at [[Mitch McConnell]], Richard Durbin is at [[Dick Durbin]], Samuel Brownback is at [[Sam Brownback]], Robert Dole is at [[Bob Dole]], Charles Schumer is at [[Chuck Schumer]], Robert Menendez is at [[Bob Menendez]], Russell Feingold is at [[Russ Feingold]], Patricia Murray is at [[Patty Murray]], John D. Rockefeller IV is at [[Jay Rockefeller]], etc., etc. This is just one more like those. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 23:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC) |
|||
*****Yes [[WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS|other stuff exists]] (and you can review my comments at a recent similar request at [[Talk:Ted Kennedy/Archive 9#Requested_move|Talk:Ted Kennedy]] for consistency). Some of the subjects such as Kit Bond, Sam Brownback, and Jay Rockefeller sign their names as such and are more frequently referred to by their nicknames in major media. Others such as Chuck Schumer should be moved to reflect the most common media usage. ([http://schumer.senate.gov/ Schumer's own website] refers to "Senator Charles E. Schumer" in very large type at the top of each page.) You are likely correctly about how these politicians are referred to on video media but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a politics chat show, and usage should ideally hew more closely to other print media. Regular daily newspapers are not considered particularly formal and their usage provides, along with self-identification can be a useful guide for article titles here. — <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;">[[User talk:AjaxSmack|<font style="color:#fef;background:navy;">''' AjaxSmack '''</font>]]</span> 01:12, 10 February 2010 (UTC) |

******Once again, how one signs one's name is irrelevant. One's banner on one's website is also pretty useless. You are simply wrong in presuming that print news is the only or the main basis we should use for assessing how people are commonly referred to. Wikipedia does not not have to be a "politics chat show" to take note of how Dodd is referred to in media other than print news stories. What's more, you are simply wrong to presume that Dodd is predominately referred to as "Christopher" in print news, anyway. He is referred to as "Chris" roughly as often. I also referred to how they refer to each other on the floor of, in this case, the Senate and in interviews. It is clear that unless you take the bizarrely narrow definition you do, he is more often known as "Chris Dodd". What's more, your belief that self-reference is a vital piece of the picture is misguided, as are your two criteria for judging it. Signatures and webpage banners are terrible signs. As I sign my name "First I. Last", but I am commonly known by a standard short form of my first name. That is not at all unusual. Your point about Chuck Schumer is hard to distill, because if you are saying his website banner somehow trumps common usage, I have no idea where you get that. The man so much better known as "Chuck" that it would be absurd to have his page at "Charles Schumer". Finally, I would note that your opinions on these matters did not prevail at [[Ted Kennedy]]. Instead, the community chose, per guidelines, to go with the most common form of the name. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 01:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC) |

*******After reading this winded response, it's becoming clear to me that there really is no reason to move the page. Christopher Dodd is fine.

*********Actually, I wasn't proposing a policy at all. I was commenting on how to interpret existing policy: [[WP:UCN]] (use common names) with perhaps an eye toward [[WP:SOURCES]] (reliable sources) and [[WP:NOT]]. There are various shades and degrees of usage of nicknames that should be considered when deciding titles. At one end of the spectrum are cases such as Bill Clinton or [[Tony Blair]] who use their nicknames in nearly all contexts. But there are others who may be referred to by families and friends by a nickname but who use their full names in almost all public contexts such as [[Henry Louis Gates]] (Skip), [[Lee Kuan Yew]] (Harry), or [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] (Misha). In between fall those whose nicknames might have wider usage in reliable sources but whose full name is also widely used. I would argue that [[Scooter Libby]], [[Abu Mazen]], or [[Gus Dur]] are more commonly used but the titles of [[Lewis Libby]], [[Mahmoud Abbas]], and [[Abdurrahman Wahid]] are (correctly) preferred at Wikipedia. I mentioned the signature of the subject because it's a way of determining the subjects assessment of the formality of his own nickname. Usage in major English print media is another. Through discussion we can decide titles ad hoc just as is happening here. — <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;">[[User talk:AjaxSmack|<font style="color:#fef;background:navy;">''' AjaxSmack '''</font>]]</span> 01:37, 11 February 2010 (UTC) |

**Whatever you call it, you put far too much emphasis on signatures, and ignore any source other than print media. The sources for determining commonality are not the same as determining what is a reasonable source. Print media is not the only, or even necessarily the main source. What's more, as Also, the print sources are more or less evenly divided (in part due to internal style choices that have nothing to do with commonality of usage). As a result, even putting as much weight on print news as you do, other sources of determining commonality are necessary. I have said, and you have not refuted, that he is more often called "Chris" when discussed (whether that be by news commentators, politicians, or average citizens). In consequence, I find it hard to understand your vote other than as a reflection of the bewildering weight you put on signatures. As an aside, it is worth noting that people whose edits show a great deal of interest in US politics and have voted here think it is obvious on its face that "Chris" is the more common name for him. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 23:26, 11 February 2010 (UTC) |

Involvement with SOPA as a Lobbyist
[edit]Should this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd#Post-senatorial_career include his recent forays with promoting SOPA for industry?
For example he's been caught lying for the MPAA here: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111214/04100017081/chris-dodd-resorting-to-outright-lying-desperate-attempt-to-get-sopa-passed.shtml

Biased or unsubstantiated statement about Sen. Christopher Dodd
[edit]I was just casually reading the page about retired U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, when I read this sentence:
"Dodd was a notorious alcoholic and serial philanderer, joining fellow New England Irish Catholic Senator Edward Kennedy in well-publicized debauchery and lechery."
If I'm not mistaken, that sentence is contains biased and/or unsubstantiated statement about the Sen. Dodd, and should be removed or backed up with other documents proving that statement.

Dodd-Frank Bill?
[edit]Shouldn't the Dodd-Frank bill be mentioned on this page? It was a significant piece of legislation and is a major part of Chris Dodd's legacy. ChunyangD (talk) 02:14, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Restaurant incident
[edit]There appears to be a non-zero amount of coverage of an incident in the 1980s that allegedly involving Dodd and Ted Kennedy. To what extent should this be mentioned in the article? DS (talk) 16:39, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Is Sexual Assault appropriate as a "Subsequent activity"
[edit]This is unusual framing - does Senator Dodd list Sexual Assault as a hobby on his cv?
Dodd-Frank and the U.S. Opioid Epidemic
[edit]Shouldn't the Dodd Frank bill be mentioned in the U.S. Senate tenure section? Also isn't his involvement in the Opioid epidemic through his connections to Purdue Pharma reported widely enough to be added to his controversies section? (I know the later my be a bit slanted towards recent events but still...) Roan Asher (talk) 13:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm surprised and disappointed that Dodd Frank is only included in this article as a "see also" link. Yes, there should be prose about it. You can WP:BEBOLD and add it, or eventually I will. As for Purdue Pharma, what connections are there? I am not aware, but we can follow the WP:RS wherever they lead. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- Also, WP:CONTROVERSYSECTIONS impair NPOV and should not exist. Info should be shifted around to their appropriate sections. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:45, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
