I am surprised that this article was given "good article" status. First of all, it is not especially well-written and could definitely use more proofreading. Second of all, it has a supermarket tabloid-esque quality to it. In fairness, the supermarket tabloid-esque quality may be inevitable given who the article is about. MonMothma ( talk) 02:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC) reply

This article achieved good article status two-and-a-half years ago and has certainly diminished in quality since then. Curbon7 ( talk) 06:33, 2 January 2024 (UTC) reply

We need rather more concrete proposals to work with, what are your specific objections? Slatersteven ( talk) 11:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I was surprised, too. In any case - a little example, if anyone cares - comma error (needed after Georgia):

I'm also surprised to see that this article is a "Good Article". The Personal life section needs work, specifically the Crossfit paragraph. Some1 ( talk) 02:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC) reply

This is referred to in the intro. Does it need to be? Green's motion was defeated by a hefty majority. Is the fact that a small number of Democrats abstained significant? Quite a large number of Democrats and Republicans must have voted against the motion. Should these figures be included as well or instead? Should her motives for bringing this motion be included, whatever they are. Johnson appears from his article to be pretty right wing. Are they not on the same side? Was he trying to be impartial and she objected. (to explain: to my British mind the Speaker ought to be considered neutral.. The Speaker of the House of Commons sheds his or her party identity and during general elections none of the main parties stand against him. Speaker Bercow was criticised by some Conservatives on occasion for being too fair to the opposition. Is that what happened here?) Spinney Hill ( talk) 10:41, 9 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, proposed change in Marjorie Taylor Greene § In popular culture:

In June 2024, Season 4 of the series The Boys featured a new conservative superhero / podcast host named Firecracker. Showrunner Eric Kripke stated that Firecracker was directly inspired by Marjorie Taylor Greene. ^[1]

Trivia, silly Trivia. Slatersteven ( talk) 11:22, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I went through WP:HTRIVIA, yes. However, WP:IPCV states:

When fictional characters are modeled after notable people or celebrities, they can be mentioned in the article about the person when the connection is identified in the primary source or attributed by a secondary source.

SerChevalerie ( talk) 11:48, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

"can" does not mean "must". Slatersteven ( talk) 11:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

or "should". not to mention both HTRIVIA and IPCV are essays. Let's set aside the opinions and look at this through the lens of WP:10YT -- is this character portrayal going to matter at all in the distant future (or the near future for that matter)? This reeks of WP:PROMO and MJTs BLP is not a platform for advertising or popular culture fictional references.

The Boys (TV series) has a Politics section where this could easily be referenced, and would be better suited there IMO. Kcmastrpc ( talk) 11:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply
