transfer info

Did ya transfer the info from the reactions subheading from the main page and put it in here? Do we then shorten the reactions on the main page? Phillip Samuel (talk) 07:32, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Domestic reactions to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Domestic reactions to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto1":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:32, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Melania Trump section should be more than just her after the fact public statement

CNN has on the record that two of her staff left immediately following this. That should be part of this entry. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/08/politics/melania-trump-white-house-capitol-riot/index.html

Can anyone find a record that is Wikipedia friendly for this: https://www.politicalflare.com/2021/01/staffers-begged-melania-to-intercede-with-trump-during-riots-she-refused-and-continued-her-photoshoot/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.34.228 (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

George W. Bush statement

A sentence on George W. Bush's recent remarks was recently added to this article.The source cited notes that Bush didn't explicitly refer to the events of January 6th, but "seemed to condemn" them. My sense is that this isn't enough to justify inclusion here – we'd either need him to have said something explicit, or a good number of sources arguing that this is unambiguously what he was talking about – but I'd be interested to know what others think. (There's also the issue of whether this belongs in this article or in the Aftermath of the 2021 United States Capitol attack; I've personally never been totally sure what the distinction between the two is supposed to be.) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:48, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

This is a daughter article of the aftermath article. If one was to put that kind of content there it would go under the heading "Domestic reactions". Well that heading was split out into a separate article. — Alalch Emis (talk) 17:22, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying that point Alalch Emis. Aside from the "which article" question, what do you think about the question of whether Bush's remarks belong in this article given the less-than-explicit nature of his comments? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:09, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
@Arms & Hearts: When I google 'george bush january 6 9/11' I get plenty sources making the connection. I like the word allude in this context. I think that we should say that "Bush was reported to have made an allusion critical of the Jan. 6 rioters by comparing them to ..." (something along these lines). Apart from this solution, if it's too overwrought and not seen as something that qualitatively adds to this section (Bush's more immediate reactions are already included) I think that the remarks can be removed. — Alalch Emis (talk) 18:35, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
@Alalch Emis: Since nobody else has weighed in here I've gone ahead and removed it, but feel free to restore with better sourcing and/or wording if you feel appropriate and we can discuss further. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 10:14, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, it was probably for the best. If I think something up I'll ping. — Alalch Emis (talk) 10:19, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
