Attack on Paul Pelosi edit

This is ridiculous. It's an apparent act of political violence by someone who was probably trying to murder Nancy herself but she just wasn't there, it's well-sourced, and it's blatant edit warring mostly by one single person (EDIT: poor choice of words, see below), with 6 separate people all considering it worthy of addition (7 if you count the person who immediately self-reverted, presumably due to seeing the page history). As for "it's too local", how is it any less local than the story about the Israel-Palestine conflict, or yesterday's news about Polish communist statues being taken down, or a plane crash killing 2 firefighters? I'm putting it back. If you disagree then stop edit warring and talk about it --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 03:11, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Gimmethegepgun, with all respect, What the Hell do you mean by "it's blatant edit warring mostly by one single person". I have not edit warred at all, so please do not accuse me of edit warring without any evidence and do not accuse me of some sort of sock puppetry. I kindly ask you recant (strikethrough) that accusation as I have made exactly 1 edit on the article. I do not plan to re-revert it again (for now), but please note that I disagree with the addition of it to the Portal. In about a week or two, I will come back and see any further discussions and I may re-revert it then. Hopefully by that time, the stupid sock accusation and edit war accusation has been struck through because your comment above seems to be more of an emotion-driven comment rather than a policy/logic-driven comment.

Elijahandskip It seems I made a poor choice of words, implying something that I didn't intend to. I wasn't intending to accuse you of edit warring, only Alsoriano97, and the intent was to say that you're the only person other than him to remove it. I also am not accusing you of sockpuppetry. And, to be clear, the reason I undid your edit was simply because it was the most recent removal --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 03:42, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
I agree that this event should be mentioned in the Portal. All of the details of this case point to the motive being an attempted assassination of a sitting U.S. House Speaker, a very significant event. Love of Corey (talk) 09:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oh well, just another case of American-bias. Okay, let's get to it. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Not sure what you mean by that, but okay. Love of Corey (talk) 05:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
