Can we find any sort of citation on the claim that his mother killed a high school student? BattyMRaps (talk) 05:59, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're telling me no one can find a decent photo of this guy? The article even mentions a video from just a few days ago when someone spit on him and his appearances on Tucker Carlson Tonight. BattyMRaps (talk) 06:01, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"He has given rambling accounts of supposed financial hardships he faced as his girlfriend performed on Onlyfans and became pregnant from another man."

This is what the article says as of Nov 3, 2022, without evidence. No citation, and it reads like someone has an axe to grind.

A warning to those adding to this page to avoid clear bias and to cite sources. 128.193.154.159 (talk) 22:20, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They are a left-wing political group which seems to tar and feather anyone to the right of Obama as an extremist. This is especially evident in the chosen source where Stein's event is called "comedy" in quotations, showing that this is meant to show the reader and unfairly negative description of Stein. 173.79.49.66 (talk) 15:51, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SPLC. They are indeed biased and opinionated but they a reliable source nevertheless and their opinions can be included with attribution. Nil Einne (talk) 13:15, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted some recent changes to the top because they appeared to depart from the emphases and descriptions used by cited third-party WP:BESTSOURCES. Llll5032 (talk)

UnorthodoxyAC and Elli, for now I used "pranks" as a compromise, but my opinion is that "trolling" is appropriate for the top because the word is used by some of the best sources in the article. Not only do good sources describe him as such, but in one source he even describes himself that way -- "a self-described professional troll".[1] If many RS agree, none are in dispute, and the subject agrees, then the language should be considered neutral (note WP:VOICE in the NPOV article).

Yeah. Trolling is the correct and accurate term here, and it is what reliable sources use. We should use it as well. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:31, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
