Talk:James D. Watkins

A very nice start, with pictures, and good sectioning, paving the way for a much fuller biography. But as it stands right now, I don't see a single paragraph longer than two sentences. It reads like a bullet-point outline, not a proper prose article. But, as I said, a very nice start - just needs expansion. LordAmeth 13:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Would an interview with transcript with James Watkins from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_E4135B5207FD409FA0042FA6CAC94460 (I have a conflict of interest; otherwise I would add it myself.)

The political positions section is being grossly misused, that section is for outlining his political beliefs, and is instead serving as a weird career outline. I considered renaming it, but couldn't come up with something succinct enough, and felt that deleting the section was overkill. Heyallkatehere (talk) 12:10, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
