The article cited what itself called a rumor: That Jack Lew initially refused Pres. Clinton's call to work on the Jewish Sabbath in an emergency. The claim is unsubstantiated by the NYTimes, Washington Post, or any other legitimate news source. The unverifiable claim makes religious Jews look bad. If you notice, Stephen Walt, known for his book against the Jewish state, is a major contributor to the website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnDoeDefender ( talk • contribs) 14:55, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

I have some doubts about changing "Poland" to "former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth ( Russian Empire) territory". If Jack was born in 1955 then his father could have come to USA either before WWI (in which case it should be described like "Russian Empire (currently Poland)") during the war (in which case we could refer to current territory of Poland or the territory of Second Polish Republic), after the war (in which case it must have clearly been Poland) or even during WWII (in which case referring to Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth would be completely absurd). Especially that the referenced article refers clearly to "Poland". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.13.108.60 ( talk) 14:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I've been lightly editing and updating the Treasury section at Confirmations of Barack Obama's Cabinet (which makes me also update the section on Chiefs of Staff) and see that this article has already covered some of Lew's hearings in a little more detail. It seems a little silly for me either to commit second-rate plagiarism or to laboriously duplicate the research that others have already done here. Would any of this article's editors be interested in visiting and adding a few details to Confirmations of Barack Obama's Cabinet#Jack Lew (February 2013) and Confirmations of Barack Obama's Cabinet#Chief of Staff? I'm not seeking huge blocks of text (I just collapsed four paragraphs about Tim Geithner's taxes into a template because they took up undue space), but more than bare, simple dates and vote-counts seems appropriate. (Feel free to put any questions or comments on my personal talk page.) Thanks. —— Shakescene ( talk) 06:50, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
in the article opening 2nd paragraph, it states: and as the COO at Citigroup from 2006 to 2008, which is in bad error as he was COO of a very tiny small part of citibank the alternative investments group , about 1/1000 of 1 % of the overall citibank... such endless mindless hyperbole is inappropriate and the key important huge big difference is, as COO of the whole of citibank, IF he had been, would be some qualifications to be sec of US treasury but as, COO ONLY OF the alt inv group (and dir of OMB), he is not ... at all ... wllie bob midas,9th !! 68.195.88.82 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:57, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
He was indeed a COO at Citigroup. If the sentence had read "he was the COO OF Citigroup" then your point would be valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.92.164 ( talk) 04:05, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
I uploaded Lew's new signature on Commons. Use it if you want. -- Excolis ( talk) 19:05, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Concerning religion in infoboxes (religion in the body of the article has different rules):
From
WP:BLPCAT: "Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources" ... "These principles apply equally to lists, navigation templates, and Infobox statements".
From
WP:CAT/R: "Categories regarding religious beliefs or lack of such beliefs of a living person should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief in question (see
WP:BLPCAT), either through direct speech or through actions like serving in an official clerical position for the religion."
Per
WP:LOCALCON, a local consensus on an article talk page can not override the overwhelming (75% to 25%) consensus at
Template talk:Infobox#RfC: Religion in infoboxes that nonreligions cannot be listed in the religion entry of any infobox.There is a better list of requirements in the section below)
The word "Jew/Jewish" is a special case and has has several meanings, some nonreligious. The source cited needs to specify the Jewish religion (Judaism), as opposed to someone saying "I am a Jew", which could refer to nonreligions such as ethnicity or culture. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 07:57, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Previously, I asked for citations showing that this page meets Wikipedia's requirements for listing religion in the infobox and in the list of categories. I also did my own search. There do not appear to be sources establishing compliance with Wikipedia's requirements for inclusion, so I have removed the religion entry and categories. Editors are encouraged to add properly sourced religion information to the body of the article, subject to WP:V and WP:WEIGHT.
As a reminder Here are the requirements for listing a religion in the infobox and categories (religion in the body of the article has different rules):
