Anti- South Bias[edit]

This article claims that nearly all white southerners were racist, i would like to know if he interviewed all of them, if not it should be taken off. That is a very un-neutral point of view —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.45.130.162 (talk) 16:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Sealtexas.jpg[edit]

Image:Sealtexas.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Anyone else notice where it says he, as governer, supposedly made the pecan tree the state tree of Texas in 1906? He wasn't the governer in 1906. 207.183.236.68 (talk) 00:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor?[edit]

The entry states that Jim Hogg was also a doctor. But, none of the cited sources seem to indicate that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.178.160.146 (talk) 23:09, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree: nothing in the article or the sources supports the idea that he had a doctorate, and he doesn't appear to have been a physician either if that's what was intended. No one has provided evidence since the above comment was posted last year, so I'll remove it. If someone can cite a source, they can re-add it and clarify the wording. 153.31.113.21 (talk) 14:06, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name change.[edit]

 The name for this entry is incorrect. His name is James Hogg but is listed as "Jim Hogg." I recommend renaming this entry to a non-conflicting name, such as James Stephen Hogg, or James Hogg (Texas Governor)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SWFT ATOMIC (talk • contribs) 17:00, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 16 April 2018[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to any particular title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 12:10, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Hogg → James Hogg (Texas Governor) – James Hogg has been entered as Jim Hogg, a nickname that may confuse people when seeking information on James Hogg. SWFT ATOMIC (talk) 20:25, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SWFT ATOMIC and JE98: Queried speedy delete Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This one needs to be discussed before being moved. JE98 (talk) 21:13, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably a more standard disambiguator would be "(politician)". Dekimasuよ! 22:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, It is a much more broad specifier than Texas Governor and would give more on the entry upfront. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SWFT ATOMIC (talk • contribs) 23:30, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Move to James Stephen Hogg, which currently redirects here, per WP:NATURAL and WP:COMMONNAME, as that is how he is usually known in reliable sources cited in this article and at James Stephen Hogg (Coppini). Note that an article at James Stephen Hogg was merged into this one, so a WP:Histmerge may be required. Station1 (talk) 22:29, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not really explained why this title is a problem. The implication of the nomination is that we shouldn't use nicknames. Well, we do. Or is the suggestion that he was referred to more commonly as James than as Jim? Given the county named after him is Jim Hogg County, Texas, this seems unlikely. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:07, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's the latter. But looking at the sources or even just a Google search, James Stephen Hogg seems most common, occasionally James S. Hogg or J.S. Hogg or Jim Hogg but rarely or never plain James Hogg. So I agree the current title is preferable to the proposal. Station1 (talk) 18:43, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the original proposal per WP:SLFP. — AjaxSmack 01:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
