:Yes, for the record the account was blocked by me before any other communication. It's normal for admins to make surprise [[WP:DUCK|duck]]-blocks, and for other users to ask admins for clarification. The similarities between these new accounts and Spanish IP addresses is a bit of a no-brainer. Once logged in we ask people to stick to one account. If you want to make it this account, now that that's clear, we can agree to those terms for unblocking.

Qery re death

Please forgive if I'm doing this wrong. I almost never get into this section. Story says he collapsed in the morning. This site - assuming it's a faithful copy of the actual coroner's report - said they got a 911 call about him collapsing while walking on 2/29 at 11:36 pm and he was pronounced at 12:19 am on 3/1. (Also documents a blood alcohol of 0.4%, not 0.04%, but that's a typo; the accompanying toxicology shows 0.04%.)

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.128.188.200 (talk) 16:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a Breitbart quote or author opinion?

The last paragraph under "Early Life" begins with:

Listening to "AM [radio] professors" like Rush Limbaugh helped Brietbart refine his political and philosophical positions. . .

Is the phrase about "AM [radio] professors" a quote of Breitbart's or is it a creation of the author? If it's a quote, it should say so. If it's the author's phrase, perhaps some less slanted, less confusing, and more accurate term could be substituted, like "AM radio hosts", AM radio shows", or AM radio politicians". Thanks, Wordreader (talk) 18:05, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no objection here to Wordreader's sensible suggestion, I decided to be bold and make the change. Naturally, if a citation can be found for the previous wording, it ought to be reinstated, properly cited. 190.124.162.159 (talk) 15:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition To Communism

I have heard Brietbart speak out against communism. Does anyone object to adding the category American anti-communists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.130.50.1 (talk) 23:51, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Death

Hello. I have added this section to the article twice, and it has been taken down each time:

In his obituary of Breitbart, Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi wrote: " . . . no homage is complete without a celebration of the whole man, and the whole man in this case was not just a guy who once said, “It’s all about a good laugh,” but also someone who liked to publish peoples’ personal information on the internet, hack into private web sites[3], tell lies in an attempt to get his enemies fired[4], and incite readers to threats[5] against his targets and their families, including death threats."[6]

I am writing to ask why this has been removed from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.96.211 (talk) 18:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because it looks to me like you're attributing opinions to Taibbi. The references you're adding to apparently corroborate Taibbi's statements aren't written by Taibbi. This looks like WP:OR to me, as it seems to be an individual/original interpretation of what Taibbi may have meant in his statements. Safehaven86 (talk) 18:29, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly, this is Original Research. Not appropriate. Capitalismojo (talk) 21:16, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Death section

In the second paragraph of the "Death" section, an IP changed "Unsubstantiated conspiracy theories arose about his death" to "Still not proven theories arose about his death". This is problematic per WP:FRINGE, suggesting that the conspiracy theories that he was murdered are in any way legit, and just "unproven". The neutral way to handle it is to call it like it is, unsubstantiated. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:34, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This is user Democraticfreethinker. Editing from an ip because surprise! got a ban. I have assumed good faith with you, then waited for discussion as you said. I find that I am repaid with false accusations (of which I would like you to show evidence, please). Coincidentally I wanted to tell you that I was still waiting for you to give an argument as your comment so far was all smoke and no fire. I am open to hearing one answer for you, if not, you'll be pleased to hear that you just drove off yet another editor from wikipedia (their number isn't exactly going up these days, is it?)
I didn't block you. Take it up with the admin who did. If you're abusing multiple accounts, it was appropriate. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:05, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure you didn't have anything to do with it, right?

Well please look at this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Zzuuzz&oldid=754310724 So please enough with lies and if you talk with Zzuuzz for accusing people, go talk with him to show me your evidence, and if not, an apology from you both.
