Hillier

The Randy Hillier bit does not seem relevant to the group. 98.143.67.248 (talk) 19:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I agree. I think it would be more appropriate to move it to the Randy Hillier article instead. Hyperkorea (talk) 13:55, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
I also agree, it seems a bit out of place. CT55555(talk) 14:57, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
This whole wiki is inaccurate. 2601:547:600:6800:18AF:CEBB:E9BF:6313 (talk) 03:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 February 2023

They forgot to add that this is a fictional meme country that disagrees with the state of current political leadership in Canada. This is not a violent or supremacist group. This is a group of people who have had enough with government overreach and are voicing their opinions and concerns all done out of the love and respect of their fellow countrymen. I am sorry if we make mouth noises the political opposition doesn't like but we all have a right to say what we think or feel especially if it infringes on our right to be self governing individuals. 162.254.64.224 (talk) 17:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

The lack of reliable sources provided for this claim is why this edit request is rejected. CT55555(talk) 17:15, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
The source is a reality. 2607:FEA8:7C9C:9680:ECC2:9EBC:767F:EC83 (talk) 03:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
That isn't how Wikipedia works. Provide a published reliable source. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:06, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
I am the Vice President of the North American chapter of the Diagolon Fan Club. Your source is shabby, This story is fraudulent. 2601:547:600:6800:18AF:CEBB:E9BF:6313 (talk) 03:43, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello. 2601:547:600:6800:18AF:CEBB:E9BF:6313 (talk) 03:46, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Diagolon the meme

Your article is rubbish and 109% lies. Diagolon is a fictional country that runs from Alaska to Florida and it's the imagination of Jeremy Mackenzie, a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces. The VP of Diagolon is a demonic goat figurine named Phil who has time traveling abilities and has a cocaine problem. There is no such thing as acceleration and is a troll spoofing the federal government of Canada. The flag of Diagolon was made on a cell phone with Jeremys finger in a diagonal direction. \\\ and 🐐🐐🐐are the symbols of Diagolon. Since Diagolon is making fun of the federal government of Canada the term bigots who are in charge of Diagolon is directed toward the Liberal Government of Canada headed by Justin Trudeau. Thanks for allowing me to correct you though I seriously doubt you'll make the necessary corrections and keep the misinformation going. 2601:547:600:6800:18AF:CEBB:E9BF:6313 (talk) 03:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia is based on sources that the community has decided are reliable. You should try to get your views represented in such a source, because we don't rely on ipse dixit. Cheers, and Happy Friday. Dumuzid (talk) 04:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
The "reliable" sources have been called into question by the HateGate FOIA releases. Page 8

“I’ve looped in Insp. Simon Pillay and A.Insp J-S Grenier who are the project Team OICs to assist with any discussions your NZ LO may wish to have on Diagolon. We do not consider it a right wing militia group at this time however assessment is ongoing as I understand it.” • Eliane Caron, Director of Ops Team 2, Federal Policing National Security (FNPS), April 8, 2022
“We generally agree with the Key Assessments, 1) DIAGOLON is led by MACKENZIE, 2) based on current information, DIAGOLON does not meet dictionary definitions of a group.” • Matthew Desjardins, March 16, 2022
“The channels are REMVE + Conspiracy theorist in nature but not accelerationist and you’re right no incitement of violence. Some of the usernames have racist references/photos in them but no criminality.” ▪ Kristen Little to Ashley Chen, July 14, 2021, subject “Diagolon”
Will the truth be posted or is this a circle the wagons scenario? I'm a new account I can't do it. I've never run into much inaccuracy in Wikipedia so I didn't need an account until now. Trauma Chicken (talk) 17:33, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Biased Language


It's really clear that there's some heavily biased language here. Describing the group as "satirical," "fictitious," etc. Ex: "Several media outlets and politicians have been duped into believing that Diagolon is.." This is in line with their organizers' messaging — wanting to coverup and downplay the group's extremism, which has been a defininf factor of the group since its founding.

 Done Looks like these changes were made by a single user who used a single source. The link itself is just a PR website and not a suitable source, and also does not even support the claims that it is satirical and fictitious, so have reverted these changes. The PR piece appears to be based on a podcast episode featuring a reported investigation by Caryma Sa'd. Unfortunately there's no transcript for the podcast and I'm not about to waste half an hour listening to this thing to see what she says specifically about Diagalon, but it's there if anyone wants to take a stab at it Cannolis (talk) 21:16, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Speculation is ripe here

There appears to be an absence of sources from the group itself, which appears to be amorphous. Almost every single source on this page is a news article summarizing various beliefs about this group which cannot be substantiated. It seems apparent that Diagalon, never heard of before or since the Freedom Convoy Protests, is not actually real. The only direct source, that being comments from the alleged founder Jeremy Mackenzie, confirm that the so-called group is in fact a joke. Pamandersonfanclub (talk) 17:31, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Typos

The article currently contains four instances of Diagolon being misspelled as “Diagalon”. 138.51.69.98 (talk) 15:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

References 14 and 15 are the same news agency report

Canadian Press should be cited directly Elinruby (talk) 19:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

This is an imaginary group that the far left have been trying to claim is real, which it is not.

Here is a link saying what was said in the Canadian Court of Law and disproving what the Canadian Media and Canadian Anti-Hate network has claimed about the comedian who came up with this joke in the first place.

Edit this to say it is an "imaginary group" because of the following: 2604:3D09:C282:BCE0:D56C:3390:A68E:9540 (talk) 13:19, 25 April 2024 (UTC) This is an imaginary group that has been proven to be true in the court of law, disproving what the Canadian Media and what the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has claimed about the imaginary groups creator Jeremy. Source: "https://www.sasktoday.ca/crime-cops-court/did-feds-rely-on-poorly-sourced-info-to-invoke-emergencies-act-7539385"

Please get rid of the hypocrisy of this site claiming it is a real far right organization, when in fact under the Canadian law it has proven not to be.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Charliehdb (talk) 10:25, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
