Adding the 911 call recording and bodycam video to the article
[edit]I think it would be useful for the recordings that were released by the court on Friday to be included in this article. I don't know what the copyright status of those recordings are though. News outlets seem to be including them in their articles without issue; can we do the same? – Anne drew 16:36, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- I suppose we don't have to host the video/audio ourselves. I've added external links to YouTube. – Anne drew 21:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Mental Health issues turned into character assination
[edit]I am concerned that those allowed to edit this page have had such an easy to not only project their opinions on someones character but also create a link between a history of mental health issues and a list of bigoted statements which have no factual backing.
social media follower of people who a minority claim are 'far right'. Sexist remarks? Racist remarks? Firstly, who decides if online posts are sexist? And is Wikipedia, supposedly a home for truth and knowledge the place for personal opinions and bias?
Then there is earlier point I raised, that the editor of this page was very sloppy and outright disgusting in connecting mental health issues with making sexist and racist remarks, oh and following who, Jordan Peterson. That is some severe dehrading work there. so many people suffer from various forms of mental health, myself included, that does not make me a racist and sexist also. This section needs editing asap.
I still cannot understand how fabricating a complete character assination of the attacker is useful. The history of metal health issues may be useful but the reeks of MSM click bait.
You wiki marshalls, need to stop abusing your positions. 195.213.58.151 (talk) 00:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- This is the type of post I would normally remove from talk pages. You did not specify which group of sentences is "incorrect", you provided no sources, and your post is written like a general complaint. You need to be extremally specific about your complaints if you want anyone to pay attention to your posts. — Nythar (💬-❄️) 01:07, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Misinformation and disinformation section largely opinion based
[edit]Currently the misinformation/disinformation section reads only as the author's opinions. In cases like this where there isn't strong evidence either way for the motives and what actually happened, it is merely an opinion of the author of this section to characterise and dismiss the concerns over the overarching narrative as "misinformation". The line mentioning a "fake news website" does not name the website in-article (so that it can be verified as fake news) nor does the title of the reference contained in the endnote, relying on readers to simply not check the source and take it at face value. Like most articles on the platform, this entire article reads as a hit-piece against any discussion/investigation of the incident and isn't balanced to 50/50 right vs left perspectives as is required. 203.46.132.214 (talk) 01:58, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia does not balance issues "right vs. left", all significant points of view are to be covered, regardless of political slant. Paul Pelosi was attacked by a violent man who opposed his more-famous wife's political point-of-view. The notion that there was anything more to this event that that is fringe conspiracy, and does not get equal placement in this article. The misinformation and disinformation section is based on reliable sources, and will not be altered to include conspiracies. Zaathras (talk) 02:13, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
Donald Trump...claiming that the attack was a false flag operation
[edit]There's a citation later in the article about other figures implying it was a false flag. But I don't see any reference in the citation that Trump himself claimed outright that it was a false flag. See Elon Musk, right-wing figures push misinformation about Pelosi attack. Could the lead use similar language to the body, using 'implied' rather than 'claimed'? Faolin42 (talk) 00:41, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
