Girl not woman
editOpening paragraph says "woman" but if she was a minor, she was only a "girl". Using the word "woman" seems an attempt to soften the seriousness of this crime and doesn't properly convey that he is a sexual predator. Perhaps if he were Republican this would have been addressed by now. 152.208.13.43 (talk) 23:23, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Radio work
edit@ianmacm: We have a New Yorker article confirming the radio work. That is a reliable source according to WP:RSPSOURCES. I think it should be included. What do you think? Midwood123 (talk) 17:08, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- This edit was reverted because of the lack of sourcing. I did also wonder about WP:DUE and how notable it was, but if it is sourced it could be added.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:33, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- I added it again but this time only in the section. The New Yorker article is cited. I think if his stint as the CEO of a kitchen-countertop company is notable then this would be too. Midwood123 (talk) 01:04, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

2x 'Wiener' needs to be corrected to 'Weiner' 2A00:23C4:B632:A301:B422:723F:423:EDC5 (talk) 07:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
Done: Thanks for pointing this out.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:16, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
Article says Anthony Weiner exchanged nude photos...
editIncorrect. He was found guilty of exchanging nude photos with CHILDREN. Girls under 18 aren't called women. 24.96.202.15 (talk) 09:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- You are getting the incidents mixed up. The 2011 and 2013 incidents did involve adult women and were embarrassing and inappropriate but not illegal.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 13:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Broken link
editBrown link in post-congressional work section; source indicating he was fired by mass email Lauradelhomme (talk) 04:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Cite 109 is archived on the Wayback Machine, but the original no longer works.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Comparison of Clinton defeat in '08 to personal Tiananmen Square
editAppearing on The Late Show in July 2016, he said "I cried when Hilary lost to Obama in 2008...I was the last person to endorse Obama, I was like the guy in front of the tanks."
This an absolutely insane thing to say, should it be added? Arvasu (talk) 01:30, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, it is an absurd thing to say on the record, but it does not need to be added to the article. He said and did lots of absolutely insane things which are already included.--FeralOink (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
