Semi-protected edit request on 6 August 2022

This edit request to Daniel S. Goldman has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

remove "Goldman's campaign hired a Republican campaign consultant who supported former President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election and called Rep. Maxine Waters “retarded” over her support for Trump’s impeachment to perform voter outreach to Orthodox Jewish voters in Borough Park, Brooklyn.[25] His campaign immediately fired the consultant and clarified that they were "unaware of these grossly offensive remarks" when City & State contacted them for comment.[25]

Goldman's financial disclosures indicate he has a line of credit from Goldman Sachs worth up to US$50 million in addition to investments in weapons manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., oil companies Chevron and Exxon Mobil, and Rupert Murdoch's Fox Corporation. Goldman's campaign said he will put his assets into a blind trust if he were to be elected and that he is no longer invested in Sturm, Ruger & Co.[26]"

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. The prose is sourced, and I'm unsure why it would be biased. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:30, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved to Dan Goldman (politician). Consensus that there it no clear primacy. Moved Daniel S. Goldman to Dan Goldman (politician), while Dan Goldman to Dan Goldman (writer). Dan Goldman will redirect to Daniel Goldman dab page.

Daniel S. Goldman → Dan Goldman
Dan Goldman → Dan Goldman (writer)

– Clearly, the Dan Goldman who is running for Congress is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name Dan Goldman. The writer's article is older, is why they're not in their proper places yet. Even before the August viewspike related to the primary, the lawyer's page way outpaces the writer's page in views[1]. Looking through news sources produces the same result. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:05, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. I agree. Johnnycorns5354 (talk) 17:48, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per PRIMARY, and whoever's at base name should have a hatnote linking to DAB at Daniel Goldman.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:17, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate. There are two other senses on the disambiguation page. BD2412 T 02:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, though I would double-check if it should be "writer" or "artist"; he works on graphic novels and I'm not sure which is preferred. Fredlesaltique (talk) 14:29, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral regarding Daniel S. Goldman → Dan Goldman. The inline cites appended to the article confirm that he has been frequently referenced as "Daniel Goldman". Support Dan Goldman → Dan Goldman (writer), but would preferably support Dan Goldman → Dan Goldman (comics). If consensus does not coalesce around Daniel S. Goldman → Dan Goldman, then "Dan Goldman" should redirect to the Daniel Goldman disambiguation page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 14:40, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support #2 per nom. I'm more neutral about #1, given that he still calls himself Daniel on twitter. Might be worth waiting to see what he uses as a rep (if he is elected). Nohomersryan (talk) 20:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate. I agree with BD2412, make Daniel Goldman and Dan Goldman a single dab page. Discussions about individual naming is appropriate, but it's obviously not straightforward to use non-dabbed names- in other words, it isn't like "person A is Daniel, person B is Dan". tedder (talk) 04:32, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate. It's not clear that either has primacy over the other. Instead, create a disambiguation page at Dan Goldman and redirect Daniel Goldman to that disambig, and then move the respective Dans to Dan Goldman (writer), and Dan Goldman (politician). Then — The Anome (talk) 18:59, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate and move the articles to Dan Goldman (politician) and Dan Goldman (writer) per The Anome et al. Graham (talk) 02:55, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect information about wealth

There are appears to be incorrect information about his wealth. According to the articles, Goldman's financial disclosures say that his wealth could be "up to $253 million," this article says that they are $253 million. This should be corrected. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-30/dan-goldman-levi-strauss-heir-would-join-congress-s-richest-with-nyc-win Maytheforthbewithyou (talk) 17:56, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a mistake/typo. The page refers to Goldman as “Golden” … 198.24.20.23 (talk) 12:28, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Dan Goldman (politician)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Dan Goldman (politician)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "generalresults":

From Kelly Armstrong: "Unofficial 2022 General Election Results". North Dakota Secretary of State. November 8, 2022. Retrieved November 13, 2022.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:29, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Divorce to Anne Montminy

In the infobox it says that Goldman divorced her in 2008, but on Montminy’sWikipedia page it says they divorced in 2004; but the source that claims this is unreliable. Furthermore, by doing some more research I couldn’t find a clear source on whether the divorce was in ‘04 or ‘08. What do you do in this case? (Greenpython53 (talk) 03:40, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Goldman (politician) → Dan Goldman – Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by pageviews [2]. Fairly obvious long-term significance as a member of the US Congress and an actor in the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:49, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Clear primary topic. Mdewman6 (talk) 23:48, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. See also WikiNav (208 outgoing clicks from DABpage at Daniel Goldman vs. <10 for each other topics). SilverLocust 💬 03:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I was ambivalent about moving this page to Dan in the first place as can be seen in the old RM, but I think even aside from that, he's the primary topic. Nohomersryan (talk) 20:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Mdewman6, SilverLocust and Nohomersryan. Congressman Dan Goldman is indeed primary over Dan Goldman (writer). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:41, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
