Cajun ancestry

I have removed the doubtful claim that he has Cajun ancestry. I would welcome anyone who can cite an authoritative source on that, to put it back with a citation. Wjhonson (talk) 22:23, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why the claim would be considered "doubtful"; a fairly large percentage of people from south Louisiana (and Carville is from there) do have Cajun ancestry (I don't know what the exact percentage is). However, I have no problem with the removal of the statement from the article. Maybe there's some reliable sourcing for the assertion about Carville, somewhere.

30 Rock Episode

Carville's quotes from the 30 Rock episode do not need to be cited, as the episode itself is cited in-text and will prove that he did say the things noted.

Fraternity membership?

I have a digital copy of pages 236-237 of LSU's 1963 yearbook, the Gumbo. In it, the Sigma Nu fraternity lists a "C.J. Carville" as one of its members, and the corresponding picture is definitely of Carville. I'd know his "unique" look anywhere. I have looked at Sigma Nu's roster in the surrounding years, and he is listed and pictured only in 1963 and 1964, no other years, and I can't find anywhere else that he was a member of Sigma Nu, or any fraternity, for that matter. Is the yearbook a sufficiently trustworthy source? I can send/post the page from the yearbook if you would like, but I don't know what the rules are on all that.

9/11 Comments

His statements from 9/11/01 should be included. It reflects his political stance as well as his role as a "strategist". "This changes Everything". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.204.248.67 (talk) 13:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for someone to nominate this article for GA status

Does anyone else think this article is up to GA status?--Bigpoliticsfan (talk) 00:37, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is up to GA status, but I think it is better than a C class article. I really don't like the subject of the BLP, so I don't want to comment at length, or even suggest specific improvements to the article, as I am not neutral. No COI, just... not neutral. As a general suggestion, Bigpoliticsfan, if you are still interested in seeing this BLP considered for GA status, I would update it with more of Carville's current work. There is a brief mention of his present affiliation with Fox News now, which is good, however, he does a lot more than that, as I seen him commenting on television (CNN etc. not just Fox) about Hillary Clinton's candidacy for the 2016 presidential elections, and her current activities in the Democratic primary race. Concentrate on getting the article improved, and I will be willing to recommend that it be upgraded to better than C class without a lot of work. Then try for GA, with editors that have a more NPOV than I do.--FeralOink (talk) 20:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update Fox contract

Why no update about his move to FOX? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.240.105.242 (talk) 05:48, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done--FeralOink (talk) 20:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Noticed some vandalism (7/30/19) by a mobile IP, suggesting Carville has a career in prostitution. I tried to revert it, but given that I'm pretty new to editing I'm not sure I've done it well/correctly. I'd much appreciate someone else taking a look and making sure.

It's a clunky VERY old thing with early 2000's flash technology. I had to click on the click hole and hope for the best that a malware file wasn't being downloaded to my machine, and then, low and behold, the website design appeared. Critical Chris
