Talk:Sam Brinton

Daily Wire
Hey, @Thenewsoftoday, let's not source negative stuff in a BLP to Daily Wire. The reason we didn't update this before was that the sources weren't great. Valereee (talk) 10:59, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Timetable
The exact timetable of Brinton's employment with the feds does not seem clear from the available sources. MonMothma (talk) 17:47, 17 July 2023 (UTC)


 * We have this source in the article saying the start was in June 2022, and then the CNN article quotes Brinton's Twitter placing the date as June 17th. Also I'm also noticing the number of sources is down from 53 to 49 which seems to go against WP:PRESERVE and now we have a massive gap in their nuclear engineering career from 2016-2022 which doesn't improve the page.

Which organization of article material is better?
@MonMothma made a large-scale edit to the page today to this, and while I appreciate WP:BOLD, I am concerned about the removal of long-standing content/sources and the rewriting of the lede (Brinton is best known for their DoE work). I reverted the edits to yesterday's version which I think is a superior presentation of the material and the combined efforts of many editors. BBQboffin (talk) 23:56, 17 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I looked at those, too, BBQ. I think MM made some definite improvements, such as this one, but like you I was a bit overwhelmed by such a major reorganization, and while I had decided to move on, I wasn't surprised to see the reversion. Maybe we could do this a bit more slowly, perhaps with some tags first? MM, since you're fairly new, please understand this isn't really a reflection on your work or a rejection of it! It's very typical for a major edit to a BLP that falls into two contentious topics. Valereee (talk) 11:52, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Does the writer of this think Sam is two people? he/she keeps referring to one person as they, their. It's really confusing.

 * There is not one writer; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. However, we are obliged to follow the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Gender identity policy on this article, and so we use the singular they pronoun in reference to this article subject.

 * Hey, IP. The article explains in the Sam_Brinton section that they use singular they pronouns. Valereee (talk) 17:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
