1. On the revision page, 26 March 2017, someone stating that he is Larry Johnson has stated that the page is inaccurate and requests its removal. 2. I myself made corrections to the factually incorrect final paragraph on 25 March 2017. SOURCED corrections. It appears that someone deleted the changes and erased any record of the changes. Nothing appears on https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Larry_C._Johnson&action=history except the troubling entry on 26 March 2017 that ought to make the entire wikipedia community VERY NERVOUS.
Assuming I didn't leave the page after only previewing without hitting submit (a slight possibility), then what the hell on the log? Was the log erased? Certainly I must have not saved changes?
AAR the "troubling entry" should be looked at, seriously. 24.27.72.99 ( talk) 00:27, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
EDIT: WTH, seriously, I just reloaded the revision page and about 24 new entries instantly appeared, including the day-old log entry of my changes! I didn't clear cache or anything, just F5 of a page that I originally loaded 10 minutes ago (not yesterday). Sorry, I'm a competent and careful user; this was just something very strange about the revision history.
The libelous or contentious nature of the page is still a risk though. 24.27.72.99 ( talk) 00:33, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Please review the 03:53, 26 March 2017 action to this page by Joshua Scott. I contend that he replaced facts with conjectures.
Of note, in the process he also removed a link of Larry Johnson speaking himself. On CNN - a worldwide broadcast network - where Johnson gives a specific account of facts that the existing wiki text is inconsistent with. Is that proper?
I'm sure Joshua does fine work for the community but I request a second set of eyes to confirm the validity of that unwinding. If someone will do that, I'll accept the outcome without further comment. Thank you. 24.27.72.99 ( talk) 00:50, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Is anyone looking at this? There are FALSE STATEMENTS in the final paragraph. If you leave those in there you are just daring the subject individual to cause massive trouble for Wikipedia. Does no one care about that? 24.27.72.99 ( talk) 05:44, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Trump did NOT assert Napolitano's claim "as fact". Is thehill.com sufficient sourcing?
"Asked about Spicer repeating Napolitano’s claim, Trump called the Fox analyst a 'very talented legal mind' but added that the White House was just citing the report, not endorsing it."
That's not "asserting as fact." The existing text says "asserted as fact."
I'm not just trolling here. I'm reporting facts, pointing out falsehoods, and supplying unambiguous, mainstream sources - if that counts for anything. Frankly I'm upset that I've reported this twice - or you could say this is the third report - and the only action has been to lock out corrective changes. 24.27.72.99 ( talk) 05:57, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
EDIT: I guess you want me to give you the link: http://thehill.com/homenews/media/325755-foxs-napolitano-claimed-trump-was-considering-him-for-supreme-court-report Is that source sufficiently credible to justify correcting a factual misstatement on a wikipedia article?
Primary source quotation follows: “We said nothing,” Trump said when asked about the former judge's claims regarding the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). "I didn’t make an opinion on it.”
“All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television,” Trump said.
Does anyone want to execute the correction now? 24.27.72.99 ( talk) 19:39, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

An editor keeps edit-warring "Johnson himself has provided an extensive discussion of this situation, both the background for his original claim and the reaction to it." to a paragraph about LCJ's promotion of conspiracy theories about Obama allegedly wiretapping Trump. [1] This clearly does not belong on this Wikipedia page, as its simply sourced to LCJ himself and not a secondary reliable source. There's nothing to indicate WP:DUE.

I have no opinion about Johnson. I saw his name somewhere in my feeds and came here (among other places) to see who he is. I found a highly opinioned article that trashes Wikipedia's claims regarding neutrality. It reads like something from MSNBC or Daily Kos. Wikipedia has gained a reputation for partisanship. This is an especially vivid example of why never to rely on Wikipedia for anything controversial. 2001:5B0:50C0:D3D8:95A6:F5A4:3942:F623 ( talk) 19:12, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Is stating what he wrote in his own words considered now biased? Larry Johnson has been ridiculously over the top with his praise of Vladimir Putin and the Russian war in Ukraine. He has made numerous misleading statements and generally parots whatever propaganda comes out from Moscow. He has a platform on noted far-right fake news conspiracy sites like The Gateway Pundit. I don't think presenting his very pro-Russian views and his own statements are somehow biased. And then providing a context of those views with actual sources. Given he is only noteworthy now because of his fervent pro-Russian views, they should be part of his page.
The people above seem to have a certain view of the Russian and Ukrainian war that jives with Larry Johnson's view. And that seems to be the issue here. -- DeeFG ( talk) 19:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
