Talk:Andy Biggs

Biggs and guns
Read and skimmed through this Wikipedia article about Andy Biggs about found nothing about his relationship/opinion/etc with guns. This month Biggs refused to listen to Miah Cerrillo a survivor of Robb Elementary School shooting, and I am hoping article might include (1) what Biggs has said about guns and/or gun control, and (2) how much money Biggs has received from the gun industry/sphere. List of congressional candidates who received campaign money from the National Rifle Association includes money he received from NRA in 2016 and 2018. For NRA contributions, OpenSecrets only has info on 2012-2022, so seems unlikely they have numbers for Biggs pre-2012. OpenSecrets data for NRA->Biggs: $2000 (2020), $2000 (2018), $1000 (2016), apparently none for 2014 & 2012. OpenSecrets' list of Biggs's top100 contributors 2019 - 2020: $2,500 from Silencer Shop (gun business) (I don't know about most of the contributors, so other Biggs contributors may be in gun sphere). 2022 not complete yet so OpenSecrets list for Bigg's top contributors of 2021-2022 presumably in progress: 2021-22 list includes $1,000 from National Shooting Sports Foundation. --EarthFurst (talk) 11:47, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Biggs and Nato
@springee deleted the section Nato. I find the argument wrong. Voting against Sweden and Finnland as a member of NATO is a significant vote and important information about Biggs’s political views. I would support to add it again FantinoFalco (talk) 04:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The issue is weight. We need two things to include this.  First, it needs to be clearly part of a larger narrative.  As inserted this comes off as a random factoid that an editor felt was important but isn't something that really is about Biggs himself.  That gets to the second issue, NPOV/WEIGHT says that we need sources to say why this vote is significant in context of Biggs, not why the vote itself was significant.  Earlier this year I opened a NPOVN discussion on the topic of when it's due to include how a politician voted on a bill.  My read of that discussion is a clear consensus that we need articles talking about the BLP subject in ways other than just saying they voted for/against a particular bill.

Editorializing
I might be able to support wikipedia if the editorializing could stop. Just say, "Andy Biggs claimed." I do not need "Andy Boggs falsely claimed." Just the facts please!!! 2603:6080:4A09:C700:3068:F361:C44B:5CD4 (talk) 18:17, 26 December 2022 (UTC)


 * For this to be editorializing, that would require "Joe Biden is the elected president of the united states" to not be a fact.
 * But deciding that that is not a fact, is editorializing.
 * So it seems you're stuck with it either way. 85.147.66.47 (talk) 00:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Good luck with that. It's what these shill supermoderators at Wikipedia do, especially Weller. 107.4.151.163 (talk) 03:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
