Image for the article[edit]

Hey, just wondering if there's any particular reason for why the image for this article is so crappy. Every other member of his "clique" (e.g. Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Richard Spencer) has a better picture on their article. Do we not have higher quality pictures to use?

Hey, it’s because it’s a Creative Commons image from a YouTube video (which itself was CC 3.0). Until somebody uploads a better image to wikimedia commons, it will be used. Zenomonoz (talk) 21:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add the following text to the January 6 section (please note that <ref name=":6"> is not a typo, I am citing a source that is already in the article):

"According to several media outlets, Fuentes was part of the mob that attacked the Capitol.[1][2] The Southern Poverty Law Center reported that Fuentes was "visible in both livestreams and images amidst a mob of pro-Trump insurrectionists...wearing what appears to be a VIP badge".[3] Although he did not enter the building, he allegedly shouted encouragement for the rioters to "keep moving towards the Capitol" and that they were "taking the Capitol back".<ref name=":6"> Fuentes himself admitted being present during the attack but denied criminal conduct.[1]"

Classification as a neo nazi[edit]

Nick Fuentes is classified as a neo nazi in some of the sourced articles in the page and has associated with other neo Nazis, such as Richard Spencer. He seems eligible for the category. Firekong1 (talk) 14:55, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence saying “The FBI began an investigation as to whether any of this money went toward the financing of illegal acts, such as the storming of the U.S. Capitol,” should be changed. Fuentes himself never did anything illegal and never went into the capital. He has stated that he told others to not go in as well. Fuentes was not charged or prosecuted for anything that happened on January 6th. Similarly, the sentence “ Although he did not enter the building, he allegedly shouted encouragement for the rioters to "keep moving towards the Capitol" and that they were "taking the Capitol back,” should be changed. There is no proof he said this, the ADl is merely speculating. Fuentes himself has claimed he did not tell others to go in. Fuentes has also never spread misinformation about Covid, everything he has concretely claimed has been proven correct. 45.23.111.209 (talk) 13:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under political views > Catholic integralism and Christian nationalism, in the second paragraph, change “Fuentes has described himself is a reactionary who supports” to “Fuentes has described himself as a reactionary who supports” Smurr7 (talk) 06:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
