Where it says false accusations about the potential crimes on said laptop is opinion, should be changed to either unproven or unsubstantiated Tommydeininger (talk) 07:50, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- 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. Jamedeus (talk) 08:13, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Clarifying what's usually, but not always, obvious[edit]
Re Darknipples's revert:
The lead never explicitly mentions Hunter Biden is Joe Biden's son. Of course, it is made clear throughout the article, but explicitly saying so early on would convey this to anyone who only skims or doesn't give it a full read. Understandably, it likely wasn't included because it feels pretty obvious, but for non-American readers and plenty of others it may not be. Hence, a few extra words could really help in those cases.
Therefore I'm suggesting changing this:
"Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the New York Post published a front-page story that presented emails from the laptop, alleging they showed corruption by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden."
To this:
"Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the New York Post published a front-page story that presented emails from the laptop, alleging they showed corruption by Joe Biden, Democratic presidential nominee and Hunter Biden's father."
Let me know your thoughts. Arcturus95 (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- The links provide simple and easy access to this info, which as you said, seems fairly obvious even for non-Americans. If there is consensus that it needs the extra clarification, I could support changing the wording to a more succinct addition ie...."his father and Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden." The extra words tend to defeat the purpose of the links IMHO. Cheers. DN (talk) 20:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree extra clarification is warranted. I will add. Peter L Griffin (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Why does the article for Tony Bobulinski redirect to this page?[edit]
A wikipedia power user deleted the Tony Bobulinski wiki, and redirected the search to this padlocked article. There is basically no information about Tony Bobulinski in this article.14.202.215.60 (talk) 13:53, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not enough sources discuss Tony Bobulinski specifically; and they fall under WP:BLP1E, ie. they're only relevant in the context of the congressional investigation of Hunter Biden and not as an individual. They're mentioned here, but the reason there's very little information is because their significance ultimately isn't very high; most WP:RSes only mention them briefly. --Aquillion (talk) 17:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
