    #Invoke

    I noticed that the portal bar and the authority control templates were replaced with #invoke call in this edit, along with many other template calls, in an attempt to reduce post-expand include size. Can these two be reverted as the rest have, or is there some special reason not to? All the best: Rich Farmbrough 13:43, 8 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

    Interim report December 17, 2024

    On page 69 it says that Miller disobeyed an order from Trump because Miller did not want the public to view him as a "Trump crony." I think this may be relevant enough to add to the article, but I'd like to know what others think.

    Describing the riot as a "coup" may not be the best thing to call it.

    Yes, this was a violent attack on the US government and there are many sources that support the characterization of the event as a coup, but not many of these sources are of high reliability or high neutrality, and some seem to just say that the labeling of the event as a "coup" has been popular (not saying that that's what the event actually was). If you need me to show some reliable sources of my own, here are some that call the "coup" term into dispute or use the word "riot" instead: https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/news/article/was-jan-6-an-insurrection-a-failed-coup-cleary-discusses-with-politico https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/01/04/a-look-back-at-americans-reactions-to-the-jan-6-riot-at-the-u-s-capitol/ https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/08/19/jan-6-coup-authoritarianism-expert-roundtable-00052281 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67889403

    A source not saying coup, is not the same as a source saying it was not a coup. Slatersteven (talk) 11:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The source did not describe a self coup. We should not be putting words into sources. Slothwizard (talk) 23:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well they did say that the classification of the Jan. 6 riot as a coup is in dispute. The article should say that some/many have described the event as a coup, though this article shouldn’t state that clarification as a certified fact. LordOfWalruses (talk) 00:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree the page should be protected from vandalism. I would suggest entering a ticket at the Wikipedia:Requests for page protection I don't see why the consensus would reject this but I would still go ahead and submit the ticket. Butterscotch5 (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I already put in a ticket. Correditor56 (talk) 21:03, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
