Talk:2024 Multnomah County District Attorney election

Way of introducing contents
Several sources say the defeat of progressive prosecutor in favor of more traditional way is a trend such as https://www.city-journal.org/article/portland-rejects-progressive-prosecution. We can discuss how to go about introducing it. I have reservations about WP:SYNTH by Wikiepdia editors like "national attention.." The race received national attention due to similarities with recent elections for example. This analysis was not done by any of the sources and such should only be mentioned here if a reliable source says something about national coverage. In the case of San Francisco, receiving national attention is directly supported by a reliable source https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/05/21/democrats-beware-progressive-da-fights-portland-00159065 Graywalls (talk) 17:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I definitely agree that received ... due to is WP:OR since no sources make a causal claim about this. No objection to replacing national attention, the question is what it should be replaced with. Naming each source (Politico, the Associated Press, and the New York Times noted similarities ...) would probably be the least controversial, but I'm curious if anyone has a less wordy suggestion.
 * I agree with all your other removals on this article and don't mind rewording this, but I do think the larger trend in west coast DA races is important and needs to be included. Jamedeus (talk) 19:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I personally think that discussion about trend of progressive DAs should be addressed here, but not in individual politician pages. Naming out each of heavy hitter media outlets to give it an air of importance not specifically addressed in any of the pieces is an attempt to emphasize on a topic you want to emphasize. This is something we are trying to avoid, because it needs to be just cut and dry and dispassionate. Graywalls (talk) 19:59, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd appreciate a bit more WP:AGF - my intention is to avoid MOS:WEASEL by attributing the statement, not to emphasize it. As I've said in both discussions, I'm not attached to any particular wording and am interested in how you would word this, but you haven't suggested anything specific.

Listing out endorsements
I am not sure if this is appropriate. I don't think it is, however I am not sure what's customary in these elections articles. Please comment at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Elections_and_Referendums Graywalls (talk) 03:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
