DOB

edit

Hi Muboshgu. Great job with this article! Quick question: which source supports her DOB? I noticed the DOB is unsourced and couldn't find it in the first source that supports the POB. MX () 03:17, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@MX: Thanks. To answer your question, I don't know. I didn't add a DOB to this article. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:53, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
This is the edit that added a DOB. I do see the DOB listed on her VoteSmart page. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:58, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I've added it to the article. MX () 03:29, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Jordan Davis shooting

edit

I have edited the lede to remove unsupported speculation regarding the shooting of Jordan Davis. No citation has been provided anywhere I can see to indicate even that McBath considers the shooting a hate crime, never mind that it is "believed to be" such. WP:BLP also applies to Dunn - nowhere is it indicated that any judge or jury made any such finding. This is speculation that seems to be based on details mentioned in the Davis article. One has to guess at what the supposed basis for hate even would be, encouraging the reader to think in negative stereotypes. Overall, a bad look for Wikipedia. 70.24.4.20 (talk) 21:17, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Should there not be more on the shooting and a more explicit link to the page on the shooting? 24.202.219.233 (talk) 13:20, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Gun control

edit

I object to the current wording: "Speaking during 2022 in regards to further efforts to support gun control she made exaggerated claims regarding Assault Rifles stating "exit wounds can be a foot wide" According to a NY Times article, [1], Dr. Martin Schreiber attests that "The exit wounds can be a foot wide.” (from an AR-15 assault rifle) I do not know where she got "many of the bodies no longer exist.", but the (poorly punctuated) paragraph should be adjusted so that the facticity of Dr. Schreiber's statement is not deprecated and labeled an exaggeration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttr61 (talkcontribs) 00:20, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I removed it. The "sources" were McBath's tweet and a YouTube video of a nonnotable person. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:10, 24 November 2022 (UTC)\Reply
