Adams's middle name "Raymond" was added in this edit. I can't find a better source for this and wonder if it's worth keeping. 70.163.208.142 ( talk) 03:40, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
I undid this edit, but it's been reverted. I have a few problems with this statement. It repeats what the third lead paragraph says and focuses on Dilbert over Adams. It implies that the comic stopped being a "cultural touchstone" after cancellation, which isn't for us to say; sources in the article simply report the drop from syndication and why. I considered removing "until" and starting a new sentence to just read "It was dropped from syndication and now runs as a webcomic", but that's even more repetitive and disjointed. Maybe we should drop "and becoming a cultural touchstone" altogether. 70.163.208.142 ( talk) 20:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
I removed Category:American people who self-identify as being of Native American descent because the article says that Adams said he had a small amount of Native American heritage, but later found out through a DNA test that he had none. So, he may have previously said he had a small amount, but says none now.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 06:47, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Hyperbolick, my edit helps resolve the section tag and "primary sources" tag up top. It might look like a hatchet job but there is reasoning behind the start and end points of the cut, e.g. after the cut the last sentence of the paragraph (...stated that writing positively about Trump and supporting him ended his public speaking career...
) nicely supports what immediately comes before. Adams has a daily podcast and active X feed, his comments about the 2016 DNC and Hillary Clinton are downright quaint compared to the stuff he posts every day. His political registration is effectively meaningless, a "persuasion technique". It's best to just try to keep what secondary sources mention, like the Politico stuff.
Pinging @ FMSky as you placed the tag. 70.163.220.139 ( talk) 20:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
