Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 12 January 2024[edit]

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]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:57, 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]

Revert[edit]

Hi @Domesticenginerd: Why did you revert multiple edits of mine — including copyedits — with no summary? GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @GorillaWarfare: I reverted revert because you removed good content due to your own biases (which is evident in your professional history). I added facts - reinstatement on X (formerly known as Twitter) and also added a more neutral introduction, while still giving space to the criticism. As I reverted, I added notes as I was able. --domesticenginerd 15:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted far more than the single edit you've identified (and as Muboshgu has pointed out, you inappropriately used rollback to do so). Can you clarify whether your concern is specifically with this revert or with the three other edits I made? And can you please elaborate on this "your own biases (which is evident in your professional history)" comment? Thanks, GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) No, you are watering down sourced content, and now making value judgments on contributors rather than sticking to content. You should stop edit warring right now and only make changes with consensus to do so. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:43, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting an image change for Nick Fuentes[edit]

I am requesting that the image shown for Nick Fuentes be changed. It is currently a low quality screenshot. There is an image photographed by Nicole Hester of Fuentes at a rally, which seems to me as a better image to portray the subject.

 Done – thanks for your suggestion. Zenomonoz (talk) 03:43, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've reverted the edit due to the image in question being ripped straight from the article it sourced, which does not license the image under Public Domain. @Heatyeet, I recommend you look into WP:IUP and image licensing guidelines before uploading images to the project. @Zenomonoz, I understand that you were just trying to fulfill the request but please make sure to double-check images submitted in edit requests to ensure whether they fit copyright guidelines or not. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 11:38, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, sorry I would never have approved that change had I checked. Thanks. Zenomonoz (talk) 12:15, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What can I do to get the image licensed properly? Heatyeet (talk) 17:09, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Get the owner of the license to agree to release it to the public domain. If it's a photo from a major agency like Getty or AP, that won't happen. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:23, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The photo is by an independent photographer by the name of Nicole Hester. How can I get her to release it? Heatyeet (talk) 17:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reach out to her directly to request that she release it via creative commons. If she agrees, great. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:37, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
