"Pritzker is a supporter of a woman's right to choose to seek . . . " or something like that. I don't think anyone really "supports abortion" per se.

Just for the record, I think that the location of his (anyone's) bar mitzvah is too personal, so deleted it; I then mistakenly wrote that I did so as seeking a more NPOV (after having forgotten to note it at all, being actually the previous edit's deletion.

J. B. Pritzker → JB Pritzker – "J.B." are not the subject's initials, therefore it is not technically correct to list him as such. His name is stylized as "JB" Pritzker. I propose that we move "J.B. Pritzker" to "JB Pritzker" and leave a redirect at "J.B.".

Here are sources that point to the lack of periods between the letters J and B in his name.
His Twitter account and
his campaign website. A majority of news outlets incorrectly use "J.B.", unfortunately, which is something that his team has so far chosen not to correct. However, since we are an encyclopedia, we should use what is in use by his verified web presence.
StrikerforceTalk21:03, 7 January 2019 (UTC)reply
Oppose It appears to still be initials, possibly for Jay Bob rather than Jay Robert. Stylization on his campaign site is not indicative of it being his "correct name" rather than a style choice because a logo might not look as nice with periods.
His profile on his own company's website and
his family charity use "J.B.", as do virtually all Google News results so per
WP:COMMONNAME I'd like actual sources that they are "incorrect" rather just differing in style.
Reywas92Talk01:15, 8 January 2019 (UTC)reply
Oppose per reasons raised by
Reywas92 and
BarrelProof. J.B. comes from Jay Bob (the diminutive of his actual middle name Robert). They are his first and middle initial. The use of no initials on Twitter makes sense. Twitter has character limits.--

Character limits wouldn't matter here. I'm referring to how his name is displayed on the account bio, as well as how it is displayed on his campaign website. It would also not surprise me to see his gubernatorial website display "JB" rather than "J.B.".
StrikerforceTalk14:35, 10 January 2019 (UTC)reply
Support since Pritzker seems to stylize his own name as JB. As others have mentioned, it is likely short for "Jay Bob" [1] (making J.B. correct in some sense) but across Pritzker's campaign website and Twitter page, he uses "JB". (In fact, on JB's own website, he stylizes his wife's name as "M.K." with the periods, while writing his own as JB.) [2] Generally, I think we should spell an individual's name the way they would spell it themselves. Although standard practice on Wikipedia seems to be to change an initial-based first name to include periods whether or not the person in question spells it that way (
JB Smoove, for example), that trend is sometimes broken (see
PJ Harvey). Additionally, publications that use "J.B." may be using the periods only because their style guides require it.

Support Agree with those above who note that this is how he has consistently styled his name. Additionally, it is how the name is styled on his biographical page on the governor's official website. [3]Micbb (

Oppose As demonstrated by
user:Reywas92 he himself inconsistently uses JB and J.B. It is thus logical to use the standard version with points. --

That doesn't address the elephant in the room. Why does someone named Jay Robert use the initials J B? Never mind he periods. I can't find anywhere that addresses that obvious question.

Can someone find a reliable source for Pritzker's birthplace? The article now claims with no proof that he was born in Atherton, which is in fact where he was raised. However, it previously said he was born in Santa Clara County, located several miles to the south. Atherton has no major hospitals, while Santa Clara County does.

Pritzker was born at the Palo-Alto-Stanford Hospital Center in Palo Alto, California. The astrodatabank.com website is an astrology website that collects birth certificates and according to this website, his birth certificate says he was born in Palo Alto, California.

Are we seriously making no mention of Donald Trump? I know there is some debate over how much money he had when he took office, $8 billion (what he claimed) or $3 billion (what skeptics have claimed), but surely he was plausibly wealthier than Pritzker when he took office. (Forbes estimates he was worth $3.5 to $4 billion.) And how about Nelson Rockefeller, a billionaire in 1960s dollars? I'm not sure in which year he first was a billionaire, but even if it was $1 billion even in 1973, that's $6 in today's money. — Preceding

It needs a citation, but Forbes estimates that Pritzker is worth more than Trump, yes. And the sentence says it's not taking inflation into account. –

It is deeply, deeply misleading to not take inflation into account when making wealth comparisons across decades; the claim should be removed. --

Photo
Nerd217's suggested photo
Andrew nyr accused me of edit-warring, but I suggest he look at the page's history first. Anyway, I thought I should initiate a discussion here, since another fellow by the name of
TDKR Chicago 101 would also like to change the photo. I dislike it because it does not look serious. Wikipedia is neither a tabloid nor a satirical publication. Regardless of what editors think of the subject of this article, there ought to be a serious photo. I agree that the older one before TDKR made the change was not great, so I picked this one.

Comment: The user was edit warring with
user:TDKR Chicago 101 over which photo in the infobox. I requested the page be protected (which it was) and this user continued changing the photo. I left him an edit warring notice and requested that he obtain consensus on the talk page before continuing. This is not the first time the user has been accused of edit warring going as far to have investigations opened at
WP:AN3 with 2 separate instances of blocks. Thanks,

The photo currently in the article is a much better photo than the photo in this section -- his face is illuminated and clearly visible, rather than mostly in shadow. --

Over the past week, Illinois has been second in COVID-19 deaths, and has had the highest per capita death rate of any large state. Several times in the past month, a new record has been broken in deaths[1]. This has attracted considerable attention from the media[2], and the COVID-19 section should be updated to include this, as seems to have not been changed since early March.
I would like to offer this photo as a suggestion for a replacement of the current photo. This photo is his official portrait, and his face is more clearly visible. This photo is also more serious than the one currently being utilized by the article.

I echo the sentiment above that the current picture used across Wikipedia looks awful. This is an official portrait from 2019. It is a work of the United States Department of Defense and is therefore in the public domain. I suggest replacing JB Pritzker portraits across Wiki with this official and higher quality one.
