Lauren Boebert has allegedly been to Church once. Beyond that, is beyond me. If she goes weekly, we should add it. If she hasn’t been to church weekly for x amount of time it should be equally represented. Twillisjr (talk) 17:39, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article contains the word “church” exactly a dozen times with a section dedicated to the promotion of joining church and state. Twillisjr (talk) 11:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed a section added in political positions for veterans, but it only mentioned how she voted on two bills. This seemed cherry picked, so I removed it. Two of the citation were WP:PRIMARY to her voting record and the other did not mention her. This is not the way to present any politician's stance. Find a secondary source that evaluates her voting patterns or quote her from her website. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 06:18, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree this is a problem. Even if we have an article that says X bill is good/bad then lists the people who voted for/against I don't think that should be in a BLP unless the source specifically says the BLP subject was say involved in crafting the bill etc. Sadly this is a very common thing on Wikipedia and it seems to be something done when an editor wants to make it clear that some list of politicians were against/for some bill in a way to suggest only bad politicians would have voted that way. I see the same basic content was added to several BLPs. Springee (talk) 18:12, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Application of labels to living people who do not refer to themselves as such
This article describes Boebert as far-right in the opening few paragraphs, and immediately qualifies that assertion by saying that she rejects the label. When it comes to political beliefs, ought not a persons self-identification take precedence over labels or adjectives that they reject? It seems strange that on wikipedia, a person's self-identification trumps all other evidence over if they are male or female or some other category, e.g. wikipedia will refer to males as "she" if they self-identify as such, however with regards to political ideology, self-identification is disregarded, it would appear especially when the adjective/label carries a certain pejorative connotation.203.206.84.45 (talk) 16:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
