Seinfeld residuals

The source for the claim that Bannon receives residuals from Seinfeld is a New York Post article from 2017, which cites something Bannon himself said in an interview. Does that really warrant a bald statement of fact in the article? john k (talk) 00:30, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it does, John K. It's unnecessary detail, and not well-sourced. Our readers don't need to know the intricacies of Bannon & Co., much less his dealings in investment banking. I think the whole Business career section could be reduced substantially into a summary paragraph, maybe two. Atsme 💬 📧 00:51, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, if its not getting WP:SIGCOV then I dont think its that notable. In my opinion it should be removed. 23:11, 7 December 2021 (UTC)MaximusEditor (talk)

Lieutenant O-3

Hi is Lieutenant O-3 necessary vs. Lieutenant? Seems much easier to document that Steve was a lieutenant.Scranton (talk) 18:44, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that O-3 conveys the pay grade with the rank. (An entry on the O3 disambiguation page backs this up.) I consider it an unnecessary detail for most uses on Wikipedia. —ADavidB 21:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
thanks! Scranton (talk) 01:32, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no matter what rank you apply to him, he's still a traitor and thus a disgrace to that rank.

Stephen K. Bannon

Hi each morning the intro to the show says Stephen K. Bannon, then Bannon repeats it. Shouldn't the Title of the page match how he self identifies?Scranton (talk) 02:17, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What do reliable sources generally refer to him as? Zaathras (talk) 02:28, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:Article titles. —ADavidB 04:54, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He just needs a daily reminder of his own name -- it doesn't mean anything. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 07:41, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would say he self identifies as Stephen K. Bannon. But Prince turned himself into a symbol so. I think most editors can find their way here if they are looking for this article. MaximusEditor (talk) 02:55, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

question about citation/ Wired mag

why was it necessary to remove this citation? Scranton (talk) 02:47, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Scranton (talk) 02:47, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found another reliable source, by one of the coauthors (Loucaides), that also supports Bannon's visiting the Five Star Movement.[2] This replacement source is more readily available to readers who may wish to verify the information. Is there a particular reason you prefer the original citation? It was not used anywhere else in the article, and Gale's preview portion did not include mention of Bannon. —ADavidB 06:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
