The incidents on this page are those of directed misinformation, harassment, and violence. A group of idiots waiting for a dead man doesn't really qualify for this page, IMO. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 17:46, 20 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@HandThatFeeds: Should this title be changed then? i.e. Timeline of harassment and violent incidents involving QAnon (probably a better way to word that, but I can't think of it right now)? I understand where you're coming from, but equally I can see how this would qualify as an "incident involving QAnon", broadly speaking. —AFreshStart (talk) 16:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
An "incident" is more of a specific, singular event, rather than ongoing nonsense they keep promoting. If these rallies claiming JFK Jr. is coming back ever turn violent, suicidal, etc. *then* that event would be an incident. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 13:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Does Eduardo Moreno's attempted ramming of the USNS Mercy with a locomotive back in 2020 belong here? He cited a number of COVID conspiracy theories and various other anti government bits and pieces that appear to be out of, or at least adjacent to, the QANON playbook. ck (talk) 11:11, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I know this comment isn't new, but I added it, just so you know. Cahlin29 (talk) 02:09, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
