- The use of [sic] in his comment indicates he was being sarcastic.
- Who ever made the assumption that he supported Trump in 2016 is wrong. 72.9.14.125 (talk) 13:50, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I'd need to see evidence for that claim. 2A0A:EF40:136D:2601:C12:A035:14EF:2D84 (talk) 22:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- He didn't use (sic) himself at all Spindot (talk) 22:50, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Incorrect. The use of "sic" means that the anomaly in the quote was not a mistake in the quoting, but appeared "thus" in the original statement. Therefore in this example it is clear that Routh made a typo, and therefore that he did support Trump in 2016, which is consistent with other reports. 2A0A:EF40:113:6E01:E9EF:9920:8B56:6D7B (talk) 11:57, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah. The typo is "2106" instead of "2016" 2603:6011:A600:84B1:6FF1:54AA:3C8E:D31 (talk) 2603:6011:A600:84B1:6FF1:54AA:3C8E:D31 (talk) 02:29, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- I hate to be involved in these kinds of discussions, but I'm obliged to answer: Michael Steven Sandford. :) Sir MemeGod :D (talk - contribs - created articles) 18:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

How to pronounce suspect's last name
editThe last name of the suspected gunman is apparently Routh. How does someone with a General American accent pronounce Routh? Like Ruth? Or like "Rowth" (where the "th" would be pronounced like it is in "breath", not like it is in "breathe")? Ss0jse (talk) 19:05, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Lead sentence
editPer WP:BLPCRIME, the lead sentence should be changed as soon as possible. The article about the incident does not definitively describe it as an assassination attempt anyway. –Gluonz talk contribs 16:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

editThanks to whoever added my source for the birthdate. Matthew4100002 (talk) 17:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
