I have removed a few potentially non-neutral words from my original reference to the TV spot cut by Solís endorsing an indicted public official, inexplicable in light of her strong previous anti-corruption stances. Pr4ever ( talk) 10:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Let us consider this piece of identity-group politics after the reaction of labor and management and economists, people actually interested in her performance as Secretary of Labor, have been included. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 01:29, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
According to several reports going out it appears that Solis is the next choice for Labor Secretary of the new Obama administration. I saw that another user updated this article by adding a "Labor Secretary" infobox. I have removed it because (1) she has not yet officially been named the nominee for this cabinet position by the campaign and (2) it did not specify that she would need to be confirmed by the Senate (for instance Bill Richardson's article specifies this on his infobox). Just wanted to make my actions clear on here.-- Jersey Devil ( talk) 05:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Since Khoikhoi shot down my first edit of this article, I'm hesitant to do another. However, this Freedom@Work blog page (Freedom@Work and its host are biased against Solis, I know) highlights an issue in the USA Today article Tax snafus add up for Obama team:
Records show Sayyad had two liens, from 1994 and 1996, for $1,255 in unpaid state sales taxes. The remaining two, from 1994 and 1995, are for $786 in unpaid county health and safety fees.
Since she is the nominee for Secretary of Labor, shouldn't her husband be aware of the importance of paying health and safety fees? Would this issue be outside the scope of the article? I generally agree that her husband's business tax problems should not fall on her head, but this issue seems to be an exception in my mind. Comments? - JohnAlbertRigali ( talk) 07:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
It seems that you're much more aware of the issue than I am. I'll stay out of the way and let you proceed in your excellence. - JohnAlbertRigali ( talk) 11:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
I've done a lot of work researching and expanding this article, but I haven't been able to find the year of her marriage to Sayyad, which should be basic biographical information. Anyone know it? Wasted Time R ( talk) 13:29, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I scoured the Internet and found nothing. - JohnAlbertRigali ( talk) 11:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
We might seriously want to consider updating the main pic of Hilda Solis. In that picture, she actually looks like a rather attractive woman...so I'm guessing it was taken in 1983 or thereabouts. Check out this link to a pic from a San Francisco Chronicle article to see what I mean (I can scarcely believe those two pics are of the same woman): http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2009/02/25/MNC7164C2A.DTL&o=0
I'm not trying to jeer at Ms. Solis (we can't all be attractive forever, and some of us never are; at least she was once), but would we display a picture of Bill Clinton from his bearded Oxford days, as the main pic for his article? Would the main picture for George H.W. Bush's article be of him in his flight suit, when at age 17, he was the youngest U.S. combat pilot serving in World War Two? Of course not. There's nothing wrong with that picture of Ms. Solis...other than the fact it looks nothing like her. And isn't that rather the point of a photograph? KevinOKeeffe ( talk) 09:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
If her parents were, as it appears, legal immigrants, the word "legal" should be added in the main article. This is important because there are 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants.
As to the performance in office of Solis, she was touting in August 2009 the notion that "green" jobs would constitute a new Industrial Revolution employing many minorities. Of course, there's not the slightest support for either premise other than that Solis might wish it so. Jobs which are "green" account for a tiny fraction of one percent of America's jobs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.153.18 ( talk) 03:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
For the record, I strongly disagree with User:Labor reporter's repeated inclusion of two paragraphs of material regarding AFGE Local 12's purported disagreements with Solis. Three of the sources do not qualify as WP:RS and one is a WP:PRIMARY that describes a question regarding flex time rules at a town hall meeting. Even if this issue were reliably sourced, giving it two paragraphs is WP:Undue weight. An extended discussion of this is at User talk:Wasted Time R#Labor stuff (because the United States Department of Labor article is also affected). Unfortunately, I've run out of reverts on this matter. Wasted Time R ( talk) 02:40, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
There is a fairly significant hole in the background of Hilda Solis that bears filling. She asked the National Parks Service to examine the San Gabriel Valley Watershed and the Angeles National Forest here in Southern California, and to find ways of possibly improving the water quality, protecting species, salvaging some of the region from illegal miners, and also trying to find ways to increase the recreation opportunities some how.
On 14/Sep/2009 there was a metting held by the National Parks Service as part of Solis' dictate to solve some of the environmental and social problems, details of which can be found at Review of Glendora Meeting. Since this stands to be a significant effort to improve living conditions for 22.4 million citizens, some of this effort should be added, perhaps in a new section titled environmental iniatives or some such. Damotclese ( talk) 17:57, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Like with other biographical articles of high-profile figures, I think the content concerning criticism should be set aside in its own section so that those who are seeking this information may find it more readily. [21:57, May 23, 2012 98.118.251.152]
How do I add another section to this page? I want to ask why her connections to the racist group "La Raza" aren't even mentioned on this page. La Raza is, in a nutshell, the Hispanic Ku Klux Klan, and I believe Solis's sister was a high-ranking member of the hate group. Given Solis's support of illegal alien worker "rights" while at BLS, this connection to La Raza is objectively newsworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madbowler6 ( talk • contribs) 03:59, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
The Money.CNN and Politico web sites are not generally considered to be legitimate references; or perhaps I should say, neither are considered to contain information which can be relied upon to be entirely factual. It would be better to acquire references from reliable news sources, ABC, NBC, CBS, if possible. Damotclese ( talk) 16:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
It appears that information about Solis' efforts to bring the National Parks Service in to the San Gabriel River watershed and to effect an NPS overlay of the Angeles National Forest (a National Recreation Area -- NRA) has been removed from the mmain article some time ago, presumably because she instigated the NPS' NRA effort and then changed jobs, in effect religating the NPS' review of the region and the review of the final recommendation process to other politicians or contractors.
Just recently the NPS completed their recommendation and submitted it to Congress, ending the process started by Solis. The Recommendation May Be Found Here. Had the NPS actually recommended viable changes, the main article could be improved by adding details about her involvement in cleaning up the river and the canyons, however the NPS has issued a recommendation that in effect does nothing.
Solis' effort to get the watershed funded and protected, cleaned up and better administered failed though the "investigative" cycle involving the NPS examining the region and pretending to take input from local citizens took almost ten years. In the end, the NPS has recommended almost entirely doing nothing, making the NRA overlay of the ANF fail to happen.
Point being, I'm left wondering if Solis' effort to transform the ANF and the San Gabriel Watershed is significant enough to add to her list of political efforts since it failed. Thoughts? (If it had succeeded, it would have been good to add to her accomplishments. Since the NPS declined to do anything, seems likely it's not worth a main article mention.) Damotclese ( talk) 16:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
We are starting to lose WP:NPOV on this article, there are references and citations being added to "Fox News" which weakens the legitimacy of the extant article. If editors have some time and desire to recify that problem, it would be nice to replace the "Fox News" references with legitimate references to help increase the weight and legitimacy of the citations. If no legitimate references or citations can be found, suggest we throw {{cit needed}} in there instead. Damotclese ( talk) 23:50, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure that replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day could accurately be called "demoted." Perhaps a better word would be "replaced." I don't think replacing one title with another could be considered a "demotion." Damotclese ( talk) 14:22, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
