Hours before she died; Senator Feinstein voted on the Senate floor for the last time, and later met with fmr Rep Jane Harman at Feinstein's home, around 5PM EST. I think these events are relevant and should be included in the section about her death. BlueOcean02 (talk) 19:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, but people should probably think a tiny bit more before they speak. You can cut the bullshit, without being overtly direct. BlueOcean02 (talk) 16:40, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is frowned upon by some but if you take it personally you'll find yourself in more disputes than productive discussions. Best to just communicate, take the information, and roll with it and get back to making a better encyclopedia. :) DarmaniLink (talk) 01:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Since you posted immediately under my comment: How was my comment "overreacting"? Also, what's wrong about stating a point directly. There was nothing personal in my comment at all.
In an article on the looming shutdown, Mrs Feinstein is just one of 100 Senators, not more or less important than others. It doesn't matter if it is a Senator's first or last vote.
Her casting her last vote however might be relevant here. After all it was HER last vote. It might merit inclusion that she voted so close before her death. OTOH, giving that the vote was such a transitionary one, I think in this case the value to the reader is very limited. Str1977(talk)09:11, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, if its mentioned at all, it should be in passing, in a manner that prioritizes she voted X hours before her reported time of death over what the vote actually is, and only stating that as a passing fact of the matter in passing.
Something like (for example, i dont know the actual number and cant be assed to check)
"9 hours before her death, she voted for what would be her last time on the senate floor on a measure regarding the prevention a shutdown."
(obviously this is bad, its just what i could come up with in 15 seconds)
Which is why I refrenced placing it elsewhere, but the shutdown was avoided so it's pointless anyway. As for the meeting Jane Harman it could probably be mentioned in passing when discussing polticians who paid tribute to her, it's just an interesting thing to note.

With the utmost respect, writing a Mini Essay about how you didn't over react is literally the definition of over reacting. But anyway I can see your point, think before you speak in future, so this sort of nonsense doesn't happen again. BlueOcean02 (talk) 00:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, a comment like this gives the impression of trolling. People can respond how they want, so long as they're not being profane or abusive. Lecturing people on tone will guarantee your edits do not get transcluded DarmaniLink (talk) 03:54, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diane Feinstein entry states that “ the Supreme Court ruled against abortion rights “. What the court actually ruled was that abortion was not a constitutionally protected right but rather an issue that should be returned to the states.

On the topic of including Feinstein's committee position's in the title, should we include all of her chairmanships and ranking memberships (including vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee) in the infobox? Are they specifically notable enough that inclusion in the lead is insufficient?
I have searched everywhere to find information of the incredible First-Time Homebuyer's Program Mayor Diane Feinstein instituted in the 1980s. I was a recipient of the program in 1981 at the Mariners Village Development in Hunters Point in San Francisco. The homes were the San Francisco Navy Shipyard enlisted sailors' homes from the 1940s, which rennovated and certified for occupancy in 1980/81. LoliLola19 (talk) 21:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why is there no section shown on this page about how she made a serious error of judgement by conducting a press conference to give out information about the Nightstalker case? An action that was severely berated by the authorities. Ciaobellaxo (talk) 05:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
