Shouldn't it be explicitly stated in the intro and in the subsection about his 2014 re-election that he ran and won while under indictment? A reader has to put two and two together to learn this fact unless and until they reach the section Federal criminal investigation way down the page. --71.183.128.251 (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
I feel this article needs to be edited to properly reflect the unfairness of this former politician's article when comparing to other befallen politician articles on Wikipedia. I realize that she has only just been convicted. However, other politicians convicted for far less have been thrown to the wolves (as written in their BLP on Wiki) for their transgressions. So, why the blatant bias handling of this "criminal" and her BLP? To be more specific, I am referring to the titling of her indictment, charges and conviction listed under a smaller font with a title of "political controversies" when comparing it to other less known criminals, previously responsible politicians. See Michael Grimm. The above was posted on recently convicted criminal Corinne Brown talk page. I request that wiki be more even handed in the POV of BLP's when situations are similar.2602:306:8B8C:29A0:4CEF:D74C:D98C:4A0E (talk) 04:20, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
There was a discussion a few years ago about whether or not he was a convicted felon. Now that he has been convicted, sentenced, served his sentence, and released, can we all agree that he is a "convicted felon"? Danielt (talk) 14:52, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
188.238.78.85 is constantly reverting the lead section and not participating in the discussion here. He/she also doesn't use a registered user name and seems to change IP's, as they are all from the same provider in Finnland. I would like ask the user again, to participate on the talk page instead of engaging in an editing war. I would also encourage you, to use a registered user name. --FideKoeln (talk) 05:42, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

FideKoeln, I would've let your undo of my edit go if not for you accusing me of "trolling". So, assume good faith, first off. Secondly, MOS:ROLEBIO says The lead sentence should describe the person as they are commonly described in reliable sources. The noteworthy position(s) or role(s) the person held should usually be stated in the opening paragraph. However, avoid overloading the lead paragraph with various and sundry roles; instead, emphasize what made the person notable.
Grimm is notable as a former member of Congress, not for business, military service, or his conviction. Third, starting an article with "X is a convicted felon" is a bad practice that should be ended per WP:BLP. It's been discussed on other pages, including an active discussion on Talk:Michael Avenatti. And fourth, the fact that the lead sentence was like that "before" doesn't mean it was right. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:27, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I don't know exactly what I just did to this article or how to fix it, but it certainly was not intentional. Dgndenver (talk) 17:12, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
