Talk:Yogananda Pittman

Should reference be deleted or replaced?
The reference "The Latest: Congresswoman has COVID-19 after Capitol riot" does not appear to contain any of the information given in this article. Should it be deleted or replaced with a different reference? Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * . Good catch. As far as I can tell, "The Latest" functions like a live blog and aggregates relevant news stories from the current day or week. I am confident that there was a blurb in "The Latest" about Pittman's new role, but the website has since updated to include other stories. KidAd   talk  19:13, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * . OK, I will delete that reference, and refer to this discussion in my edit summary. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 20:29, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Ethnicity?
Is there any reliable reporting on Yogananda Pittman's ethnicity? If not I suggest that we should remove this page from WikiProject African diaspora and remove Category:African-American police officers.Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 18:47, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Per WP:BLPRS have removed WikiProject African diaspora. Similarly I will shortly remove Caterogy:African-American police officers from the article itself. If anyone finds a reliable source for these please feel free to add them back again. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 09:08, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Have found a reference and have reverted my previous edits.

More references
During the recent deletion discussion I found more references covering Pittman's actions as Acting Chief. For example on 18 Jan by CNBC, on 19 Jan by Politico, on 22 Jan by wtopnews, on 26 Jan by People and CNN, and on 29 Jan by The Week.

It may be worth visiting each of these to see if there is further material that could be added to the article. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 10:49, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hindu?
Does she have a Hindu or Hare Krishna family background? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 08:35, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Participation in Capitol Riot
Is there any reference to her being among the officers who defended the Capitol during the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol? If so, to what extent should it be mentioned in the article and should she be mentioned in articles relating to it? Painting17 (talk) 14:09, 5 April 2021 (UTC)


 * She has been accused of withholding an intelligence report about how large the protest on Jan 6 would be. By Lt.  Tarik Johnson, an officer in the Capitol Police.  He blames her for the lack of preparedness that day. 2601:600:9080:22A0:4DED:ACA5:B42F:38D9 (talk) 03:09, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

New Chief of Police
Today I reverted an edit that Pittman has been replaced as Chief of Police by J. Thomas Manger. However the reports I have seen  only state that "Former Maryland Police Chief J. Thomas Manger [has been] named as the next chief of the U.S. Capitol Police". None of them state when his appointment will start. In addition the US Capitol Police website still lists Pittman as Acting Chief.

This is not to say that at some time in the near future Pittman will be replace, but I think it is too soon to be able to say that it has happened already. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 11:25, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
