Talk:Katherine Clark

Image
Someone deleted the official photo of Katherine Clark as a copyright violation. Could someone run to her site. pick up the press kit, and upload a suitable photograph to the suitable place? MarkBernstein (talk) 14:36, 13 June 2015 (UTC) That is not what she looks like at all. She is much older than that picture. Get an accurate one. 98.10.165.90 (talk) 23:38, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Office Assumption
I noticed that the infobox on this article says she assumed office on December 10, 2013 whereas the article for the 114th US Congress says she was formally installed December 12, 2013. Which is right?--DeathTrain (talk) 14:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Hometown: Revere or Melrose or not worth specifying?
Given that she was born in Connecticut and lived 20 years and was first elected in Melrose, is it really worth calling "Revere" her "hometown"? Yes, Revere is listed as her residence since 2021, but seems somewhere between misleading (only lived here <2 years) and invasive (do we need to specify at all?) to call it "hometown." KevinCuddeback (talk) 22:45, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that's the spirit of "hometown". For example, I always consider my hometown to be the place where I grew up, not where I live now (despite how long I've now lived in my current city). She now appears as "(D-Revere)", so there's relevance in mentioning Revere somewhere, but hopefully without using the term "hometown". Grk1011 (talk) 14:06, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Glad you agree and you put it nicely: hometown has a spirit--an "emotional" (POV) dimension--that I removed by changing it to "home city of Revere" (and Revere, is, in fact, a City)KevinCuddeback (talk) 22:02, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

arrest of son
Her son was arrested on January 21, 2023 for defacing the Parkman Bandstand Monument in Boston Common with the tagging "ACAB" and assault. Adding two more sources because this was reverted. Artedm (talk) 21:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)


 * another source Artedm (talk) 21:47, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Only a single one of those sources link the event to Katherine Clark, and even so, this is a clear WP:BLPCRIME issue. If you're using different sources to "establish" facts like this (one showing a thing happened, a separate one showing that they're related), that's not how sourcing on Wikipedia works. We would want reliable sources that report on all of these facts. But again, the arrest (not even conviction) of a non-notable relative of an article subject is not appropriate for the page. Parabolist (talk) 21:52, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * see another source including a response from the Congresswoman Artedm (talk) 00:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, now you can understand why going so gung ho would've been a mistake, since the original even lower quality sources you had misgendered the subject. Of course, you still need to overcome the fact that this is a WP:BLPCRIME violation, and establish why this is notable for Clark's page. My point about sourcing was more trying to help you in the future. Parabolist (talk) 04:29, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Contraception
Will the banning of contraception also include the use of condoms, which are also used for contraception? Jeanmariell (talk) 21:56, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

House Appropriations Committee
Wikipedia states that she sits on the house appropriations committee, but it appears that she is not currently a member. She was a member in the 117th congress, but appears to no longer be on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.24.77.51 (talk) 08:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
