Attack on Paul Pelosi

[edit]

This is ridiculous. It's an apparent act of political violence by someone who was probably trying to murder Nancy herself but she just wasn't there, it's well-sourced, and it's blatant edit warring mostly by one single person (EDIT: poor choice of words, see below), with 6 separate people all considering it worthy of addition (7 if you count the person who immediately self-reverted, presumably due to seeing the page history). As for "it's too local", how is it any less local than the story about the Israel-Palestine conflict, or yesterday's news about Polish communist statues being taken down, or a plane crash killing 2 firefighters? I'm putting it back. If you disagree then stop edit warring and talk about it --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 03:11, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gimmethegepgun, with all respect, What the Hell do you mean by "it's blatant edit warring mostly by one single person". I have not edit warred at all, so please do not accuse me of edit warring without any evidence and do not accuse me of some sort of sock puppetry. I kindly ask you recant (strikethrough) that accusation as I have made exactly 1 edit on the article. I do not plan to re-revert it again (for now), but please note that I disagree with the addition of it to the Portal. In about a week or two, I will come back and see any further discussions and I may re-revert it then. Hopefully by that time, the stupid sock accusation and edit war accusation has been struck through because your comment above seems to be more of an emotion-driven comment rather than a policy/logic-driven comment.

Elijahandskip It seems I made a poor choice of words, implying something that I didn't intend to. I wasn't intending to accuse you of edit warring, only Alsoriano97, and the intent was to say that you're the only person other than him to remove it. I also am not accusing you of sockpuppetry. And, to be clear, the reason I undid your edit was simply because it was the most recent removal --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 03:42, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this event should be mentioned in the Portal. All of the details of this case point to the motive being an attempted assassination of a sitting U.S. House Speaker, a very significant event. Love of Corey (talk) 09:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh well, just another case of American-bias. Okay, let's get to it. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you mean by that, but okay. Love of Corey (talk) 05:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
