Identity of account
@Theleekycauldron removed the paragraph sourced to the Washington Free Beacon and Jewish Insider about the identity of the account. Both sources are WP:NEWSORGS and are reliable sources. Further, it's not a violation of WP:BLPPRIVACY to list the identity, which is of a public employee who has a very public profile and which is an "open secret on the Hill" per JInsider.

 * @Longhornsg: What? No, The Washington Free Beacon is not a reliable source per RSP. JInsider doesn't print the name, because it's a somewhat more reputable publication. It is a violation of WP:BLPPRIVACY to use anyone's full name unless they are widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public. Both of those tests are emphatically not met here. Please revert your addition, as it is a cut-and-dry BLP violation. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 05:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It's a bit surprising to see WFB as GUNREL given one of the cites at RSP is to a RSP about Newsmax, and the other two are light on participation. I'll start a new RFC that will hopefully receive more participation. I'll remove the name here, but still think its worth including that JInsider had identified the account as a staffer in Congresswoman Lee's office. Longhornsg (talk) 05:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
