Based on the cited book, this article has a few factual errors. First, the discussion around the term and "previous versions of Wikipedia" belongs on the talk page, not in the article itself. Also, "Sonni Efron" is spelled wrong. Here is the source: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR2314.html (page x, Summary). Last, this phenomenon is ongoing, per the book, but it shares similarities with past eras (1880s-90s, 1920s-30s, 1960s-70s). Source: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10002.html I'm an employee at RAND. Could someone make these changes? Gp0405 (talk) 13:38, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Currently the "Deterioration of civil discourse in society" subsection has an image of a "Stop The Steal" protest in St.Paul Minnesota with the caption "Violent protests at the Minnesota Capitol". As far as I can find it was not actually a violent protest (despite threats of violence), and the image doesn't show any violent behavior. Consequently I believe that this should be replaced with an actually violent political protest, images of the 2021 US Capitol attack/riot would be much more appropriate if cliche. I am also open to removing the image entirely since it isn't intrinsically tied with the subject matter. I have not taken any action towards this as I do not find it to be a particularly critical flaw, and want atleast some support for it before taking action.
