"She was previously an activist". What does this mean/refer to? I find nothing on it in the body of the article. Lead already states "politician and activist". Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:17, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

I think it's referring to:
After the general election, she traveled across America by car, visiting places such as Flint, Michigan, and Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota, and speaking to people affected by the Flint water crisis and the Dakota Access Pipeline.
In the source itself:
An activist she knew at Standing Rock, where indigenous activists were leading a demonstration against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, told her the camp could use more women. So the then-27-year-old Ocasio-Cortez and two friends set up a GoFundMe page, loaded up a car full of supplies, and set out for South Dakota.

Thanks, that is something. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:33, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

No controversy paragraph?????

How can an elected office like this not have controversy paragraph, if that isn't bias I don't know what is... There no mention of the house investigation,https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2022/12/09/checks--imbalances-house-ethics-panel-investigates-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-fines-madison-cawthorn/?sh=7bace3c597b6 No mention of campaign contributions from G,Soros.... It pages like this that is allowing wiki credibility ranking to be damaged. 2600:4040:9969:6200:C11F:616B:7119:752 (talk) 18:31, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Controversy sections tends to become shit-magnets, so separate sections should if possible be avoided, more at WP:CRIT. Finding paragraphs with controversy in them is not hard if you read the article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:53, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

See WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION. Dedicating a section or paragraph to "controversies" is a bad idea. How is a campaign contribution from George Soros controversial? I believe consensus is against including ethics investigations, just conclusions. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:53, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
