Edit warring

Looks like there is WP:Edit warring going on with this article. Can people please discuss on the talk page instead and only add information in a neutral point of view and sourced? Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 22:35, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's a difference between an "edit war" and vandalism. This article is being vandalized (although I've no idea why- this guy's made enough inflammatory comments without any need to embelish them. VictorianMutant^(Talk) 16:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article Needs More Background on Salcido's history

“Think about the people you know who are over there,” Salcido is heard saying. “Your freakin' stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They're dumb s - - - s. They're not high-level bankers. They're not academic people. They're not intellectual people." MattHauser (talk) 15:53, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:04, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The child pornography thing...

...although disturbing if true, an alt-right website can hardly be considered a "reliable source".

After some thought, I removed that information. My reasons for including it were: (1) The audio certainly sounds like Salcido in tone, inflection, and pitch (2) Salcido obviously has a history of making inflammatory remarks and by his own admission has a different "worldview" than most people. I do believe at some point in time, that video will be picked up by a more reliable source, but in the meantime... it doesn't belong on the page.

About this article...

I guess since I've now made more edits to this article than anyone else, I should say a few things:

This article was actually started in 2009 by a user who created articles about many small-time politicians in California (mostly council members and small city mayors). Many of these articles were speedy deleted or "lost" at Afd, but a large amount of these did survive and are probably destined to be forever stubs. This article, of course, seems to be taking a different path. I removed the notability tag because it obviously has more than enough sources to qualify as notable (being mayor/former mayor of a city with 60,000 would probably have been notable enough, but Mr. Salcido has kind of cemented his place in Wikipedia because of his notoriety.
This article is currently semi-protected for good reason. Should you be an anonymous or new user who wishes to add relevant, sourced information to this article- feel free to leave me a message on my talk page along with the web address of the source.
I am quite busy in real life, but I do plan on doing a better job of "wikifying" this article. Should anyone else want to do it, feel free!
I have mostly been very careful in adding reputable sources, but I did make one mistake (see previous section). That's not really a reliable source and while I do believe this information is likely accurate, it doesn't pass Wikipedia's reliability guidelines. I apologize for this mistake and should an administrator wish to censor the history of that edit, I would not object.

You should note that he is bald and short. And he likes to say "freakin'" a lot.

Done, thank you. Gulumeemee (talk) 05:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Democrat Party

It states in the article he's with the "Democrat" Party. The correct form of the word is Democratic. Saying otherwise is an intentional slight used in a juvenile fashion by some conservatives. It also says he's on the left wing of the party. This may be redundant, or perhaps is poorly worded, as there is no right wing of the Democratic Party. 67.237.61.184 (talk) 17:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
