A fact from Lauren Boebert appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 July 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I’m noticing, in a picture of her with other far right Republicans, that her skin is darker. Does anyone know her racial/ethnic background? Skysong263 (talk) 15:29, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see some back-and-forth edits about whether or not to include this incident, and we should discuss it. I almost added it over the weekend when we knew police were called and investigating, and I'm glad I didn't at that point because the story we have now with Jayson's arrest is different from what he had told police. But now, we have more information on what happened, including Lauren's role in it. Is it DUE for inclusion in Lauren's biography? Here's a source from January 7 with incomplete information and a cite from today with more content. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:35, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's contentious material that involves criminal accusations and probably shouldn't be included until there is consensus. My overall sentiment is that it's WP:UNDUE since the altercation was primarily between Boebert's family (one of whom most likely falls under WP:BLPCRIME), with police corroborating that Lauren appears to have not physically assaulted anyone. (per: Police on Wednesday said Jayson's Boebert's allegations Lauren Boebert punched him were "unfounded." "Officers observed no marks or injury on Jayson Boebert to corroborate he had actually been assaulted,") Kcmastrpc (talk) 21:40, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ambivalent. On the one hand, it's a confrontation that directly involves her and her behaviors are very relevant to her career. On the other hand, she didn't punch him as he alleged, and may not have acted inappropriately in this case. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:46, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think due coverage is no coverage; we're not a tabloid. Claims against the subject herself were recanted and investigation dropped more or less immediately. As a reminder, WP:BLPrequires use to use greatest care in material regarding living persons. VQuakr (talk) 22:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is remarkable is the pattern of such incidents and controversies about public conduct that surround Boebert. We would need sources that discuss that, so as to make clear that WP is not the crime blotter or a conveyor of insignificant spectacle. SPECIFICOtalk00:20, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with VQuakr here. So far this seems to mostly reflect badly on Jayson vs Lauren. As such it should stay out per BLPONE. He is only notable because he was married to her. Springee (talk) 00:42, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The first incident is little more than Jayson being drunk and disorderly in a restaurant, and him intentionally trying to get publicity for his private dispute with Lauren. Nothing to say about Lauren herself. The second incident involves Jayson physically attacking an unidentified male relative while drunk. It seems to be more serious (as Jayson was armed during the fight), but Lauren was not even present. Dimadick (talk) 15:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
IMO we should probably start being careful with regards to WP:BLPCRIME here, even if it is a talk page. This dude is only notable for being the ex-spouse of a Congress member. Kcmastrpc (talk) 15:30, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with not including this. The Denver Post (not a tabloid as asserted in the undo) reporting noted the incident only and was a fair citation, but given that little was known at the time of the originally cited Denver post article, and in the end it was Jayson who was charged, that incident is not relevant to Boebert’s career and in the public interest of voters. OriEri (talk) 00:19, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Filing for, and dropping of, restraining order
While details of the incident discussed above might not be relevant to Boebert, I think the fact that she filed a restraining order against Jayson as a result of the incident and then dropped the restraining order after arriving at "Strict Agreements" should be relevant to Boebert. See proposed text. Up the Walls (talk) 03:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything Boebert does makes news headlines because she’s a controversial figure, however, there are a number of reasons why we shouldn’t include every single inconsequential occurrence especially when they’re materially moot. Obtaining and then dropping a restraining order is borderline mundane and meandering into tabloid journalism — there is nothing encyclopedic about it. Can you tell me why it will matter in 10 years, let alone 10 days? Kcmastrpc (talk) 06:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I said the first time, we're not the Boebert Police Blotter, we do not need to document every legal motion filed by the subject. Esp. as this one was filed then withdrawn 30 days later, thus having no consequence to her or his life. Zaathras (talk) 11:57, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
foreign policy: the escalation of the war tensions between Russia and Ukraine that started in late 2021.
The phrase "the escalation of the war tensions between Russia and Ukraine that started in late 2021." is pretty long to use as anchor text and is confusingly circumspect. Maybe something like "opposes U.S. intervention in the Russian invasion of Ukraine." would be better. Uhoj (talk) 14:04, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Category:American critics of Islam
@Objective3000 could you please elaborate what in the article text supports this cat? Additionally, it's unclear to me what this category is even supposed to be, it appears to be a discriminatory list of people who've denounced Islamic Terrorism at some point.
