Lawsuits and coronavirus conspiracism

A section on all the various lawsuits and judgments against Anglin should be included, as well as his various tactics to evade these judgments and his myriad obfuscations regarding his actual residence, all covered extensively in reliable sources. I will get to it when I have more time if others are not so inclined. Unfortunately, I still cannot find any secondary sources regarding his extensive and obsessive coronavirus denialism and conspiracism. Not even the ADL sources seem to focus on this particular area, even though he promotes coronavirus as a global Zionist conspiracy. If others have had better luck, please include a list of reliable secondary sources here on this issue so that we can integrate them into the article. Laval (talk) 05:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How can the ADL be considered as a POV neutral source?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.245.204 (talk) 18:55, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability is more important than a source's point of view and Wikipedia's NPOV policy is about presenting the views of those sources (WP:RS, WP:NPOV). —Paleo Neonate – 20:00, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Is there any chance a photo of Andrew Anglin can be included in the article? 2601:8C:417E:26A0:D195:1242:31A9:46CA (talk) 05:25, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Only if someone owns the rights to a photo they would like to share.

Most photos on Wikipedia are hosted on Wikimedia Commons, which has strict copyright requirements (Commons:Commons:Licensing). I do not see any photos in Commons after a quick search.

Photos can also be uploaded to Wikipedia directly. If you own the rights to a photo you would like to donate to Wikipedia, you can read about uploading it here: Wikipedia:Image use policy. Unless you personally took the photo with your own equipment, do not assume you own the rights to it.

A low-quality image of him is included in File:Daily Stormer.png, which is used at The Daily Stormer under a fair-use rationale. This rationale means it cannot also be used here.

It seems unlikely to me that any other non-free photos could be included in this article. Non-free content policy (Wikipedia:Non-free content, specifically Wikipedia:FREER) explains this.

External links

Regardless of whatever arguments are made either for or against including an external link to this twitter account, the present consensus through editing is to not include it. WP:NOCONSENSUS There should be no inclusion to this link unless there is a consensus through discussion first. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:15, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Beyond My Ken (talk) 13:24, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

+1. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 13:40, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think what the IP may be missing is that there is no requirement to have an external link in a biography. If a living person has a website (even a campaign website), we usually include that by preference to any social media; failing that, we usually default to their blog or to their Facebook if they post publicly there, and remove Twitter or LinkedIn if anyone adds either, because they show sometimes out-of-context material and may not be visible to all readers. If Twitter is all there is, it's an editorial decision whether to have that link. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:54, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If Twitter is all there is, it's an editorial decision whether to have that link: Welp... Anglin does have a website; but it's technically blacklisted, so most editors are going to see the addition of any alternative "official" link as akin to circumventing the blacklist.

Yes, he runs The Daily Stormer; but that has its own article. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:54, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

+1. There is absolutely nothing in policy that says we have to include a social media link in a biography. Whether we do so comes down to editorial discretion. And a link to Twitter adds nothing of encyclopaedic value here. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:19, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A link adds nothing of value, but does enhance the propagation of Anglin's reprehensible views. We are under no obligation to assist neo-Nazis in disseminating their propaganda and other bullshit. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:34, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

His regular contributions to Unz.com should be referenced as well. Over 300 contributions since 2020. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dissident socialist (talk • contribs) 16:19, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Language

"to stop trolling and doxing online"

Children's online slang should not be used in an encyclopaedic article. 79.106.203.57 (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
