Sources needed[edit]

I would argue that the following statement has no empirical basis:

"Many of those same detractors believe that Survivor: America's Tribal Council was orchestrated"

Who is "many"? How did the author come to obtain this knowledge? It seems like more of a statement of the author's opinion, speaking of "many detractors" to increase credibility.

I think the entire article needs to be sourced, not just this one statement. While you are correct to assume this statement needs facts to back it up, so do statements such as his "genuine" strategy and the fact that he was "well liked by fellow competitors." Generally, the entire article needs to be cited. TommyP 06:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

What's the deal with the very large picture? Do we have any other public domain photographs that would be better to use? Useight 23:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture freaked me out[edit]

I jumped when I first got to this page. I'm new to wiki edits and don't know how to fix this. Anyone out there that can help and put a smaller, resized pic on the page would be appreciated. Lrguy 08:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rupert stealing shoes[edit]

This is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor:_America%27s_Tribal_Council : Most Memorable Moment: Rupert stealing shoes on Survivor: Pearl Islands. IMHO it should be mentioned here not only as an explanation to one of Rupert's quotes. What do you think? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 18:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "Survivor" section[edit]

Would you agree it would be better to break this into 2 separate sections? (Pearl islands / Allstars) Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 19:01, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

I want to start a cleanup on this page, namely in the Survivor section. There doesn't seem to be enough information on his game play in All-Stars and Pearl Islands. Every other contestants' page gives at least some details on their alliances in the game, and why they were eliminated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asteroixiii (talk • contribs) 08:18, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where is biographical info?[edit]

This is a biographical page, not an article about TV shows or games. Particularly as he is a candidate for office, where is the biography? Where did he go to school? What jobs did he do? What has he gotten arrested or convicted for? What have neighbors or coworkers said?

This is important to have even in retrospect. 98.111.146.18 (talk) 18:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't added it yet. Nightscream (talk) 03:16, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
