[edit] Biggest Problem with the Johnson Article

The biggest problem with this article is that it is simply overwhelming. While I really appreciate the level to which the article delivers the details, I think that most of Johnson's accomplishments could be handled with one sentence bullet points, and criticsm of Johnson (overall) limited to one subsection. Also, the level of detail exceeds what I would consider necessary. For example - do we need to know that "Tom Drabick" wrote a letter to the Columbus Dispatch in the article? And it is implied that Drabick's letter was a catalyst for the Columbus Disptach's editorial, which I find highly unlikely. Wouldn't it be cleaner to provide the quote and then reference through a footnote?

On the otherhand, this person could become Ohio's Governor is Bob Taft were to step down because of the disclosure scandal in Ohio at present, so a higher level of detail is due Johnson than would normally given to a titular position.

Still, this article could be easily carved by half (or more) and still remain relevant. Stu 13:45, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I was very confused to find this article as a FA seeing is how there is no one single picture of Mr.Johnson, also there is no political person box. While this article is very well sourced someone really needs to fix these things.--Joebengo 01:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
