If these sources are reliable, she's married.[edit]
Note the use of the word "spouse" in each case:

- Given the issues with interpreting primary documents, you would have to demonstrate that "Spouse" is explicitly used for married people and not for common law or other dating partners. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- WP:BLPPRIMARY may apply here. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 05:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- The term spouse is often used for couples who are not married. TFD (talk) 05:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Except the House Ethics form clearly direct when to use spouse. Sir Joseph (talk) 00:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Just wanted to add the Category:American TikTokers to her page, since she's active on TikTok. GeekfromHell (talk) 07:02, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Not done That category is for people whose primary notability is through their TikTok channels, not every person who posts on TikTok (which would be a ridiculous amount if you think about it). Black Kite (talk) 09:16, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
Palestine[edit]
Ocasio-Cortez's controversial and continuous support for Palestine in regards to the Palestine–Israel conflict should most certainly be noted. Felixsj (talk) 19:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- It's already mentioned. But support for Palestine is not equivalent to support for Hamas or terrorism. So I don't see that anything new is required. Black Kite (talk) 19:50, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- These comments by Ocasio-Cortez are relevant:
It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity
andThe bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation
. The source is Politico. Cullen328 (talk) 08:04, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- These comments by Ocasio-Cortez are relevant:
"She was previously an activist". What does this mean/refer to? I find nothing on it in the body of the article. Lead already states "politician and activist". Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:17, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- I think it's referring to:
After the general election, she traveled across America by car, visiting places such as Flint, Michigan, and Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota, and speaking to people affected by the Flint water crisis and the Dakota Access Pipeline.
- In the source itself:
An activist she knew at Standing Rock, where indigenous activists were leading a demonstration against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, told her the camp could use more women. So the then-27-year-old Ocasio-Cortez and two friends set up a GoFundMe page, loaded up a car full of supplies, and set out for South Dakota.

- Thanks, that is something. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:33, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
No controversy paragraph?????[edit]
How can an elected office like this not have controversy paragraph, if that isn't bias I don't know what is... There no mention of the house investigation,https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2022/12/09/checks--imbalances-house-ethics-panel-investigates-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-fines-madison-cawthorn/?sh=7bace3c597b6 No mention of campaign contributions from G,Soros.... It pages like this that is allowing wiki credibility ranking to be damaged. 2600:4040:9969:6200:C11F:616B:7119:752 (talk) 18:31, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Controversy sections tends to become shit-magnets, so separate sections should if possible be avoided, more at WP:CRIT. Finding paragraphs with controversy in them is not hard if you read the article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:53, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
https://apnews.com/article/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-7fe67c6bca345aed240897732caedee2
- See WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION. Dedicating a section or paragraph to "controversies" is a bad idea. How is a campaign contribution from George Soros controversial? I believe consensus is against including ethics investigations, just conclusions. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:53, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
Discussion of support and opposition on Pay raises for Congress[edit]
@Ruhrob, you asked why the sentence pertaining to Kevin McCarthy is related to the topic. It is related because it gives context there is some opposite party support for her position as well as same party opposition for her position. By removing the supporting section and leaving the opposing section, it creates a false balance. Ward20 (talk) 19:47, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
"The last time the House censured a lawmaker" line[edit]
The final sentence of the section "Online harassment from Paul Gosar" states:
> The last time the House censured a lawmaker was in 2010.
However now that Rashida Tlaib has been censured in 2023, this statement is out of date. I was thinking about changing it to "The previous time [...]" and perhaps that would merit a citation to Tlaib's censure? Generally I would advocate for avoiding terminology like this that can become out of date.
Perhaps the entire sentence can be removed, it feels like it is adding spin by emphasizing the infrequent rate of censures in the House of Representatives. Razziabuissa (talk) 14:02, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
