The talk page of Thomas Jacobs, if you personally know him, add information that would help this article with his early and personal life sections. --Amogus 13:02, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks

Page should be rewritten

This page should be rewritten to make it look better. --Thomas 10:26, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The information before "Early Life" is too much and may need to be broken down and moved down the the other sections of the article. Kevin Doan 09:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I have tried to remove certain information that does not need to be added to the article, it shouldn’t be so revealing - --That annoying potato boy 10:08, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can we talk about the Sepranan Issue?

Can you give me an email address I can contact regarding the Sepranan Issue? I want to speak privately about it and try and find a solution. - Terry McKeen - 4:08 Zepranan Time, March 28th, 2022. (Also, the Sepranan Article should be deleted.)

No it should not. It's an actual nation and you are jealous. (PS, why not unblock me on discord?) - --That annoying potato boy 20:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Discussion Regarding Biased Template

The Controversy section on this article is extremely biased. It is written to discredit Jacobs' opponents, painting them broadly as "political opponents" and "the left". Here are some examples

  • "...leading political opponents to deem him unfit for office..." - Not all of his opposition are political opponents, in fact multiple people in numerous micronations like Roscamistan have left his party due to his controversial behavior with and without political motivation.
  • "People on the left in numerous nations have deemed him extreme and unable to work with, and the right deems him a loose cannon." - Painting his opposition as "people on the left" and "the right" makes him sound like a centrist, which based on his views as per described in the Political views section, is not the case.

In fact in the unnecessary "Feuds" section, the following biased quotations can be found based on reasonings of the previous section as per above.

  • "...rightist & leftist parties and groups..." Same reason as the last point.
  • "...and the right-leaning Roscamistan Republican Socialist Party." His Vice President is of that party.

RRSP isn‘t right-leaning. I‘ll rewrite the controversy section, I know him in real life and I‘m not biased on the topic. OberstIrish (contribs) 19:35, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@OberstIrish: Now seeing this discussion, ignore my edit summary. Definitely rewrite the section if you want to make it better, but please don't delete the section prior to doing so. Work on it in a sandbox or even just in one edit if you want, but there's no good reason to remove the information (Especially since its already marked as potentially biased) before doing so, thanks. 𝄞 StrubberContributions 19:52, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
