Talk:Robert Germaine

Ambiguous statements
I tagged this article as having ambiguous statements because the use of "He" does not make it clear whether the father or son is being referred to. Also, the statement that investigators raided Germaine's Long Island home wearing bulletproof vests and wielding riot shotguns is doubly ambiguous because it is not clear which person's home is being referred to, Robert Germaine Senior or Junior? Furthermore, the clause after the word "home" appears to be describing the home wearing bulletproof vests and wielding riot shotguns. While this is far-fetched, for the home, it might be reasonable for the occupants of the home to be so dressed and armed. If this description refers to the investigators then the sentence should read like investigators, who were wearing bulletproof vests and wielding riot shotguns, raided Germaine's Long Island home because the description applies to the investigators rather than the raid or the home. Word order does matter in English if one wishes to be precise. Lastly, the article itself is somewhat ambiguous because it is unclear which Robert Germaine the article is intended to be about, Robert Germaine Senior or Junior. I have assumed Robert Germaine, Senior, because that is what the substantial content appears to be about, but Robert Germaine, Junior, is also mentioned and sufficient biographical details are also mentioned to consider this a biography about him too. The article title itself is ambiguous because Robert Germaine can refer to both the Senior and Junior person of that name. The scope of WikiProject Biography suggests biographical articles should be about individual people, not about multiple people of the same name. Although, it also suggests that articles about other subjects can be included if there is a "substantial section" of the article devoted to a biography of [each] person involved. I take this to mean, for this article, that there are separate biographical sections for each of the father and the son. While the father appears to be generally notable, the son only appears to be notable in the context of the father's arrest. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:19, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
