From his webpage[edit]

I have removed the content of this section. It is promotional material and it is unsigned.---Dagme (talk) 13:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

neutrality[edit]

i'm pretty new here, and i don't know enough specifics about bill owens to feel comfortable editing this article. that having been said, i don't think this article even approaches neutrality. this is an invitation to fix this?

Thanks for your desire to help! It would be helpful if you could outline exactly how you think this article is not neutral. Often, the best approach is not to sanitize the article by removing perspectives, but rather, to eliminate WP:Weasel words and explicitly name who is putting forth which perspectives.

Plagiarism[edit]

I have reverted the edits by 67.162.156.238 as the additions were taken directly from http://www.gazette.com/display.php?id=1307935&secid=1 and http://www.kaisernetwork.org/daily_reports/rep_index.cfm?DR_ID=29799 --Artorius 08:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Governors of Colorado[edit]

The category box is incorrect, Ritter hasn't taken office yet. At the least, he name should be listed as 'Ritter (elect)' GoodDay 17:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lies about military service[edit]

In his initial campaign for governor, Owens notoriously lied about his military service. That information has been suppressed from news reports and historical accounts since that time, but it should be included in this article. I hope that somebody expert in the area will add a section describing this.---Dagme (talk) 14:02, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth?[edit]

Note that the date of birth in the main article differs from that in the "Personal Details" callout. Which is correct? Mflan (talk) 14:36, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
