Talk:Tina Peters (politician)

Chronology break up

I had originally broken the chronology to pre 2020 and post so that it is not one continuous block of text for ease of reading navigation, etc. but this was deleted for reasons unknown.

I suggest that the chronology be segmented for ease of navigating and reading, perhaps by year (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, etc) or investigation, then charges, the court dates, etc. as right now it is more or less a time line but a bit hard to follow and read.

Alternatively, there could be bolded bullet points at the start of each date to differentiate days and make a little easier to read. Would be curious how to make this a little more reader friendly.RevolutionaryAct (talk) 20:35, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Personal info coverage

I consider it pretty usual/expected for a politician to give basic info about existence of immediate family, but I don't want to push unnecessary disclosures against their preferences. From just internet searching Peters actually seems mum about private life, AFAICT, though I don't know what she chooses to say in person at campaign appearances, etc. Campaign page, etc do not mention whether married or not, or any children. There is, at least locally in Grand Junction, awareness of military son's death, but perhaps-once-public obituary has been blanked i think. It is from mention in a blog or opinion piece possibly by a sympathetic critic or s possible opponent to Peters that i came to know about son. Who was mentioning in relation to speculation on Peters' motivations, state of mind, whether valid or not. And then it's easy to find coverage of accident and following investigation and memorial service, including mention of surviving father, mother, and sister, at least. I have seen no statement about status of father-mother relationship. I do think the current treatment in draft is okay, but am open to discussion. --Doncram (talk) 18:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

This personal-type information was nationally/internationally reported in the New Yorker article now cited, so it seems okay to keep it. --Doncram (talk) 00:58, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

categories

User:Kj cheetham tagged article calling for more/better categories. That was fair enough. Peters' national/international notability relates to "election denial" primarily. It has taken me a ton of time today to create definition of terms Election denier and Election denial and to set up related categories and begin to populate them (there is more to do, there are many instances of these terms in Wikipedia). I've added Category:American election deniers here, and also Category:Politicians from Grand Junction, Colorado or something like that, and will now remove the tag calling for more categories. Kj cheetham, feel free to comment here; you may or may not agree that my changes are enough. And thank you for your contribution in identifying the general problem. --Doncram (talk) 00:58, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Doncram, I've not looked closely, but happy that the tag was removed. Keep up the good work! -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:43, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
