::The edit was rightly removed as it had no citations and the claims being made were clear BLP violations against Coulter and Rittenhouse. As a minor point it failed to mention Coulter's comment was a tweet reply and more a comment of support vs clear statement of her intent. More importantly, {{u|Mmm123n}}'s edit stated Coulter supported a "white supremicist" and "serial killer" for president. That sort of implication needs clear RS which neither the WP nor this source support.] Second, it makes accusations against Rittenhouse, who is not a public figure, that are both serious and again unsubstantiated. That is why the post from a novice user was rightly removed. You restored it and clearly saw at least some of the issues as you removed some text here ]. I've removed additional BLP violations as part of this edit. ] (]) 15:21, 27 August 2020 (UTC) |

*I've removed the Rittenhouse controversy material from the article. People like Coulter make many provocative comments. Their BLP should not turn into a laundry list of every thing they said that caused a stir among the various talking heads in the media. Additionally, this is an extremely RECENT event so we have no way of knowing if this how this will pan out in the end. Treating this with the same WEIGHT as other controversies is simply not DUE at this time and likely not due in the future. ] (]) 15:26, 27 August 2020 (UTC) |

I added this to controversies, but I do understand it being a very recent event. It will likely deserve at least a line at some point. I tried to add balance in my edit, at the very least, and did not reference Rittenhouse as a serial killer or white supremacist. One, Rittenhouse is a spree killer by definition; and two, although information proves that he was a strong police supporter and militia supporter, there has not been official information alleging white supremacy yet. Coulter's page overall needs some editing and rearranging though, so hopefully this will draw attention. ] (]) 15:29, 27 August 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
:To be clear, the BLP comments above relate only to what Mmm123n said. I didn't see anything in your edit that violated BLP rules for Coulter or Rittenhouse. My concern is only that the comment is RECENT. We run into this on a number of BLP pages. We have people who say things that get reactions from others. That Coulter says things that cause angry reactions in the media/talk shows etc is worthy of inclusion in her BLP. Each individual example/instance that supports the general idea that she says provocative things isn't DUE. A decent way to structure this sort of content in the article might be "Coutler's public comments have frequently received criticism by other commentators. Examples include X, Y, Z" We wouldn't do a subtopic on each X, Y and Z. ] (]) 15:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC) |

Only two of the four sources provided actually label her far-right. The other two use the words alt-right, but do not label her as such. The two misused sources should be removed.

:I found a reference to Coulter as 'far right' in all of the articles that I checked. Looking more closely at her views in the article, it's very clear that she's a far right personality. Far-right and alt-right aren't mutually exclusive. -- ] (]) 13:23, 30 October 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
:I believe that the first insertion was by ], . Looking at earlier threads about this on this talk page, I see that there have been objections by ] and ] and ]. The first cite is to Washington Post's "The Fix" which is a blog according to and . The second cite is to "Paste" (whatever that is), which doesn't say she is far right, but says "far-right politics is the only arena where Coulter really does know what she’s talking about". The third cite is to "Times of Israel" which indeed says she is a "far-right pundit". The fourth cite is to a headline in "The Guardian". I'd call "far-right" poorly sourced, but won't remove. ] (]) 14:38, 30 October 2020 (UTC) |

|
::: I'm assuming that's ], which is a reliable source for pop culture, but the last RfC on ] was closed as no consensus as to how reliable it is for politics. Better sources exist. Also, Chris Cillizza is a reputable reporter (he's also employed by CNN)... Likewise with Amber Phillips. She's an analyst. You'll notice that those aren't blogs: they're labeled as "Analysis", which actually means it's in the news stable, and not considered opinion. ] (]) 09:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::I would agree we don't have sufficient sourcing to use "far-right" as that can be seen as a controversial label. Are editors OK with changing it to "right-wing" or "conservative" and dropping the associated citations out of the lead? ] (]) 15:20, 30 October 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::: No. If these sources are insufficient, then more sources can obviously be found. By that, I mean that it's obvious that she's regularly characterized this way in media, unless you actually think she's not a figure regularly associated with the far-right? These sources obviously exist; a good-faith effort should be made to see ascertain whether this is a label applied with any regularity, rather than simply throwing in the towel because it's "controversial". In just a cursory search, I found over two dozen such sources. Not counting at least half a dozen more examples from the Guardian alone. And about two dozen which associate her with the far-right, but don't label her as such exclusively (usually opting for "contoversial"; most of these are related to the Berkeley event of alt-right speakers). A few of them: Forbes<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethcohen/2020/07/10/ann-coulter-endorsed-a-democrat/</ref>, Associated Press (News)<ref>https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-rush-limbaugh-ann-coulter-immigration-eugene-robinson-35a0c976eacb4100a3bb2539d3247b38</ref>, another Guardian one (there are several, as I said)<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/21/ann-coulter-berkeley-protesters-arrests</ref>, The Jerusalem Post <ref>https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/ann-coulter-slams-asians-jews-who-think-theyre-black-re-immigration-580104</ref>, LA Times<ref>https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-berkeley-free-speech-week-20170914-story.html</ref>, Business Insider<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-katie-hopkins-donald-trump-retweets-migrants-cockroaches-2019-7</ref>. |

::: I think that's sufficient (ten total?), especially with the existing Guardian and Times of Israel. There's more too, if that's necessary. Also, as I said in my response to Peter Gulutzman, both of those writers he named for "The Fix" actually write news analysis; they're not opinion columnists. ] (]) 09:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |

Ann Coulter flat-out told ] to "go back to her country", then brought up cow worship and ]s in a rant about India. I’m not sure if that’s worth mentioning in this article, although it’s unusual since Haley is a fellow Republican. She hasn’t endorsed Trump yet, as far as I know, and it’s not clear who she actually supports for president in 2024. She really needs to tone it down a bit, because she keeps making more enemies for herself as well. ] (]) 05:51, 17 February 2023 (UTC) |
|
:::: Far-right is a controversial label and shouldn't be applied in the opening sentence or in wiki voice. Please see this current VP discussion ]. We can't show this is a universal description nor is it a objective description. Thanks to key word searches we can find examples of sources that use the term but consider how many articles mention Coulter vs how many justify the term. It's better to describe her positions and actions vs force the description into the lead. This is especially true since the body doesn't say why this label is used in the lead. ] (]) 12:02, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::::: It's nearly impossible to ask that all our sources be in agreement at all times in their characterization of a subject. Asking that any descriptors be "universal" and "objective" is far too high of a bar that's rarely achievable. It's always contentious. And arguments of special pleading are always used to try to remove generally-held descriptions of the ideology professed by BLP subjects. I also disagree that "far right" is overly controversial; if we were claiming she were alt-right, that would be a different matter. But "far right" is not some bogeyman or insult, but something with a generally understood meaning that's used not only in commentary and journalism, but in academia as well. |
|
|
::::: I reiterate that I find it hard to believe someone doesn't think Ann Coulter is far-right and/or regularly says things that would be classed as talking points of the far right. Assuming you read her work and see her on television, which I assume most of us have, a great deal of what she says is little different from the sorts of things that ] is famous for saying. It's what she's primarily known for, and arguably a large part of what makes her notable. She doesn't typically comment on issues of traditional conservatism or classical liberalism, but is known for saying provocative things about culture, religion, race, and ethnicity that fall outside the expectations of typical conservative commentary. As a few of the sources I linked essentially state (though I'm paraphrasing), she's seen as one of the "faces regularly associated with the far right". It would be contrary to NPOV actually omit that characterization. ] (]) 14:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |

|
|
::::::: Come to think of it, reading this over, I'm a little concerned that there is a bit of a case of moving goalposts here. Your initial argument in the proposal to change the label to "conservative" or "right-wing" is that the sourcing was inadequate/too weak to support the prior label. Now that the sourcing is adequate, you're opposed based on the fact that you don't like the label "far-right" being applied, at all, on principle? ] (]) 14:59, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |
|
|
::::::::There is a difference between "conservative" or "right-wing" and "far-right". How do we define where the line is between right and far-right? It's a subjective determination and one that is often controversial. I suspect Coulter would self identify as conservative/right but would she agree with far-right? Again, consider the current VP discussion regarding the use of labels in lead sentences (or the lead in general). ] (]) 17:50, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |

::::: I did indeed misspeak there. You're correct, it is a political blog, giving analysis and commentary on news from other sources. It also seems to predate Cillizza's work as a correspondent, or as an analyst at CNN. I agree that it should classed be a second-tier source, as its primary purpose is obviously commentary (and thus, entertainment). I wouldn't use it for this purpose any more than I would the Paste reference. Regardless, the rest of the sourcing that I provided is more than adequate. ] (]) 14:11, 31 October 2020 (UTC) |

The following CATs are a concern per ], "Category:Opposition to Islam in the United States", "Category:American conspiracy theorists". To use a category on a BLP it needs to be something we could say in wiki voice. The second one is easy as we are dealing with a single conspiracy theory. That is not sufficient to call Coulter a conspiracy theorist in wiki voice and thus is not enough to include the category. The same is true of the Islam tag. It seems her comments, per this article, are primarily related to Islamic terrorism and again, per CATDEF, this must be a central aspect not just one of many. That she is a conservative commentator is a central aspect. Her views on Islam are not. {{ping|Grayfell|EricSDA}} as recently involved. ] (]) 22:03, 15 August 2021 (UTC) |

:These categories are supported by content in the article. So, if this about BLP, the burden would be on you would first have to explain why this reliably-sourced content, which is already in the article, is either not in fact reliably-sourced or doesn't belong for some other reason. If you want to discuss whether or not these categories are proportionate, do so on their own merits. Source pretty clearly and consistently support this, to to invoke BLP preemptively is either ignoring sources or is using ] to escalate a relatively minor content issue. Since that would be be tendentious, I will assume you have some specific, good faith reason to challenge this content. If this is indeed strictly about categories, please explain this in a less inflammatory manner. ] (]) 23:05, 15 August 2021 (UTC) |
|
|
:: I'm not sure why this is inflammatory. To be clear, this is specifically about the inclusion of the categories, not the article content. Do any of the sources actually say she ''is'' a conspiracy theorist? Same with the other cat (does that cat even have a clear definition?). If no sources say she is, then we certainly cannot in wiki voice. Remember, the standard for a category is at minimum we have to be able to say it in wiki voice (even if we don't specifically say it). Additionally, since this is a BLP contentious claims need consensus to include. This is currently a local, no consensus. Consensus aside these are simply aspects of the person, not a defining characteristic hence why the cats violate BLP. ] (]) 23:48, 15 August 2021 (UTC) |

:::Absent follow up I've removed the conspiracy theorist CAT as violating CATDEF and NOCON to keep (contentious claim about a BLP subject). I think the same applies to the Islam CAT but most of this discussion was related to the conspiracy CAT. ] (]) 19:57, 27 August 2021 (UTC) |

:::::{{u|Grayfell}} I looked over your sources. Neither are sufficient to describe Coulter as a conspiracy theorist in wiki-voice. That is the standard needed to apply a contentious tag to a BLP article. None of your sources say she ''is a conspiracy theorist''. Per CATDEF, "''A central concept used in categorizing articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people)''" Sources consistently define Coulter as a pundant/commentator and as a conservative. They do not ''consistently'' define her as a conspiracy theorist. In fact I don't think we have a single source that says she is a conspiracy theorist. As such the tag violates CATDEF as well as BLP. ] (]) 22:52, 28 August 2021 (UTC) |
|
|
::::::Repeating the claim that this violates BLP does not make it persuasive nor does it make it accurate. As I specifically explained, source do define her as a conspiracy theorist. This includes both existing, already cited sources, and additional sources that can be added with relative ease. |
|
|
::::::For example: '{{tq|Conspiracy theorizing: “From the Haymarket riot to the Unibomber, bombs are a liberal tactic,” she tweeted on Wednesday after CNN offices in Manhattan were evacuated when one of the bombs was found there.}}' from This source says she is a conspiracy theorist in direct terms. |
|
|
::::::Your implication seems to be that we must include a simplistic pull-quote. This is both unrealistic, and frankly, seems legalistic. Sources must define her as a conspiracy theorist, and they absolutely do. They ''do not'' have to explicitly say "Coulter is a conspiracy theorist" in exactly those words. This is an encyclopedia, and our job is to summarize sources. |
|
|
::::::Further, your contention this is a BLP issue is, as I already tried to explain, contradicted by your admission that the sources do support this information. If you want to make the case that this is accurate but fails to raise to the level of CATDEF than it is not NOCON, it is merely a content dispute. Per NOCON, this content was already in the article and therefor you lack consensus for a change to the status quo. |
|
|
::::::As I said earlier, I am assuming good faith that you have some actual reason to oppose this beyond CRYBLP. So far, your reasoning seems to be that you personally don't agree with the existing summary of sources. This is insufficient. Perhaps a noticeboard would be a better place. Before that, please consider whether or not it is a productive use of your time to remove information which is supported by sources merely on technical grounds. Nothing about this category is an extraordinary claim based on existing sources. I would also advise you to take a look yourself for additional sources if that's your concern. ] (]) 01:49, 29 August 2021 (UTC) |
|
|
:::::::Your claim that it doesn't violate BLP is wrong. To put a tag on the article the information the tag implies ''must'' be something we can say in wiki-voice. This hasn't risen to that level. That sources you link do not call her a conspiracy theorist even if they say she is promoting a specific conspiracy. Even if ''some'' sources call her a conspiracy theorist, to put such a contentious label on a person it has to be widely used, else it must be attributed which means it isn't sufficient for a tag. Additionally, CATDEF says this ''must'' be commonly and consistently. You haven't shown that. I think this needs to go to BLPN. ] (]) 02:40, 29 August 2021 (UTC) |

|
::::::::"Your claim is wrong" is not a compelling argument. It is something we can say in Wikivoice, because per reliable sources she is a conspiracy theorist. Your (apparent) definition of "conspiracy theorist" is too vague to be workable, and also incompatible with both sources and Misplaced Pages's own article on conspiracy theories. As countless reliable sources explain, any conspiracy theory that can be proven is not a "conspiracy theory" it's just a conspiracy. Therefore, all conspiracy theories, including the ones promoted/created/spread by Coulter, by definition include plausible deniability. This doesn't mean they are not conspiracy theories, nor does it mean that people who spread them are not conspiracy theorists just because they don't call themselves that particular term. A person who is notable in part for spreading conspiracy theories is a conspiracy theorist. The disputed category is not a subcat of "category:people who promote conspiracy theories" because that would be both unworkably euphemistic, and also condescending to readers. ] (]) 03:57, 29 August 2021 (UTC) |

I don't have a definition here and you seem to be engaged in your own research to say what you think the standard should be. I'm saying the article doesn't say she is so we can't use a tag that says she is. If you have sources that say she is, not just she has promoted a, but that she is, then quote them and then show they are sufficient to say she is in wiki voice. Regardless, I've posted at BLPN and we can get some additional views there. ] (]) 04:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC) |

Change the reference of Gus Walz having ADHD to "As a teen, he was diagnosed with nonverbal learning disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety."

== Non verbal learning disorder, not non verbal autism == |
|
The article quotes Coulter from an article "one day" after the Sept 11 attacks saying that 7000 had died. This is cited to an article that appeared in Jewish World Review on Sept 28, 17 days after the attacks. Is there a source to her regular column confirming a date of Sept 12, or very close to the 11th? It looks like JWR may have published her syndicated column with the date of their then-current issue rather than the original syndication date. ] (]) 19:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC) |

In cyber bullying section it says Gus walz has nonverbal autism, which is a condition where an autistic person has not learned to speak (is non verbal). This is incorrect. What he has is a non verbal learning disability, which means a disability affecting learning non verbal skills. This is completely different. |

Coulter advocates ], as stated in the article. Article then says ID is "a pseudoscientific antievolution ideology". Which is true, but nonetheless UNDUE in an article not on intelligent design, evolution, or anti-evolution ideologies. The more specific problem with "pseudoscientific" is that it is in effect being applied to Coulter rather than ID per se, and doing that in a BLP would seem to require some parsing (or rather, a source that does that parsing for us) of the arguments made e.g. in her book chapter on this subject. I ''think'' from having looked at that chapter recently that she essentially repeats the ID arguments of ] against "macro" evolution while treating "micro" evolution as obviously correct. It's not entirely clear how much is merely criticism of some (possibly reasonable) interpretation of Darwinism versus actual advocacy of nonsense (e.g., deferring to Behe as a supposed expert, which she does do at some point, is not the same as stating he is correct), and Misplaced Pages should not SYNTH this into the latter without a source assessing Coulter's writing on ID in its own right. |

Also, the general tone of sticking labels like "pseudoscientific" and "conspiracy theory" (which was only recently removed from the article) anywhere they could possibly apply is gratuitous, politicized (in the case of Coulter) and patronizing to the reader. This is an encyclopedia, not a name-and-shame database for everyone who holds nonstandard beliefs of some sort. My understanding is that WP:FRINGE does not require this kind of hyper-labeling occur every single time a fringe topic arises within some other article. ] (]) 00:43, 15 September 2021 (UTC) |

:The word "pseudoscientific" was added and "antievolution ideology" was added by ]. The cite is to which calls itself "a radical publishing space untainted by big corporate profitmaking and neoliberal elitism". I'd agree with removing the words after "intelligent design", but would also agree with removing the whole sentence (poorly sourced). But I acknowledge that Hob Gadling had an edit summary saying "see talk", so perhaps something has been discussed somewhere before. ] (]) 16:03, 15 September 2021 (UTC) |

:It seems like calling it ''a pseudoscientific antievolution ideology'' is contradictory. It would seem to either be a pseudoscientific theory or an ideology, not both. A quick key word search for Coulter and ID turned up this article . I'm not sure if Live Science is a reputable source or not (too many familiar sounding but not good sites out there). <u>Reading through it the author argues that Coulter is actually shooting down ID arguments, not supporting them. Searching more sources from around the release of the book in question it seems that some sources assume she is making a case for ID while others argue she is trying to show the issues with their arguments.</u> As is so often the case with claims like this, it would be better to say what they actually believe (right or wrong) vs trying to dumb down their actual views and then apply the warning labels. That's just poor editorial practice. It's not clear how much of Coulter's work has related to ID/evolution content. If we have to dig for sources that discuss the two then perhaps it's not DUE. If it is included then perhaps we should have more than one source (is the one I liked sufficient to be #2) and just say she supports ID, an ideology that says evolution is guided by . We don't need to include all the labels. ] (]) 16:59, 15 September 2021 (UTC) |

In a recent CSpan interview, Ms. Coulter accuses Democrats of getting into office by cheating. The problem with her claims is she gives no evidence. If she has the evidence, she should prove it. She can do that with a new book perhaps. Otherwise, she can only be considered slandering the people she referenced. <ref>https://www.c-span.org/video/?537661-4/ann-coulter-campaign-2024</ref>] (]) 01:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC) |

::I've added an update above. Having read through the article a bit more it's simply not clear what Coulter believes and we have conflicting views. Unless there is something newer than 15 years old that shows she is pushing ID, I would get rid of the whole sentence. ] (]) 18:40, 15 September 2021 (UTC) |
