Article move
Not sure how the talk pages work, so please don't scream at me.

Change "klacik" on the title to Klacik for proper grammar. --Wikilife5656 (talk) 04:32, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Not NPV
This appears more of a promotion than neutral point of view. I hope someone with more time than me can expand upon it and remove biased elements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.142.33.171 (talk) 11:07, August 23, 2020 (UTC)


 * I do agree with this. The page is clearly written to present the subject in a positive light. Language such as "wife, mother, and non-profit founder", the entire second paragraph, and the way the article talks about her viral videos and praise from Republicans is not written neutrally. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:10, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Those statements about Klacik are both factual and sourced. If you feel you can restate them in a more objective manner, please feel free to do so, but a hatnote is unwarranted. - JGabbard (talk) 23:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , no, the entire article is from a slanted POV and the tag needs to stay until the article is fixed. I failed to mention that the article puts her opinion of Baltimore as dilapidated as a fact. This article puts forth her political opinions without any consideration of accuracy or rebuttal. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:20, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The article does not describe the entire city of Baltimore as dilapidated, although at least half of it could easily be described as blighted, without question. However, it does describe those neighborhoods shown in the video as dilapidated, and they undeniably are. Outlining Klacik's accomplishments does not in itself make the article slanted such that it warrants an additional hatnote. By all means add a "Criticism" section if you wish. - JGabbard (talk) 23:32, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * although at least half of it could easily be described as blighted, without question. This is offensive but if you're going to make such charged statements, please at least do us the favor of providing an actual source (one that isn't right wing propaganda.) Thanks. Praxidicae (talk) 19:30, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * And I've removed the dilapidated bit since none of the sources actually describe it as such. Praxidicae (talk) 19:32, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Criticism" sections also fail WP:NPOV. See WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION. Two wrongs don't make a right. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * In an effort to depuff this advertisement, I have removed the quote about her being the first woman to hold state wide office since it's not relevant to the article in the slightest and is factually incorrect. Praxidicae (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I did not see that in there. Barbara Mikulski would likely disagree with it as well. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend too. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So would the nearly 20 or so women in our state senate... Praxidicae (talk) 19:51, 24 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, congressional seats (unless at-large) aren't exactly "statewide office". And she certainly wouldn't be the first female (or even black female) congresswoman from Maryland. SecretName101 (talk) 19:49, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Right, the statewide offices are the constitutional offices (Guv, Lt Gov, AG, etc.) and US Senate. And Donna Edwards is a former member of Congress from Maryland. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)


 * this is the second article you're edit warring on today. Do you actually read talk pages or do you just tell others to use them? Praxidicae (talk) 20:39, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You deleted a word because it was unsourced. I added the word back (with a source).  You took exception to the word "dilapidated" being used to describe the area of Baltimore where Klacik filmed her video.  Please take a moment to read WP:BLUE.  Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:51, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Take a moment to read WP:UNDUE and WP:V. also WP:CONSENSUS. Start engaging in discussions before making sweeping controversial edits. Thanks. Praxidicae (talk) 20:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Please stop adding non-neutral and unsupported language. Things like "some of the many run-down city streets" are wholly inappropriate. Praxidicae (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have adjusted the wording to reflect the terminology in the sources which I have added. - JGabbard (talk) 21:03, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This has been contested. Stop re-adding it and especially with that source, as per WP:RSP it should be given careful consideration before adding and must be attributed to the author. I have removed it again. Do not re-add it until consensus is reached here. Presenting her opinion as fact about an entire city or population is certainly not neutral. Praxidicae (talk) 21:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You've been active in this article today, what are your thoughts? Praxidicae (talk) 21:08, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I think this comes across as a campaign advertisement, because that's what it is: devoting that much space to sharing what is in her campaign video without any fact checking is problematic. This is supposed to be her biography. Details on her video belong on the election article, if at all. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:12, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Considering her own statements aren't even fact checked, I'm not inclined to accept the description from a conservative outlet owned by habitual fact-deniers. Praxidicae (talk) 21:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Baltimore has blight. This is known. We can find reliable sources that talk about it (perhaps even The Dickensian Aspect of it). The issue is that here, it's a WP:COATRACK. Klacik growing up in poverty would be one thing. Just highlighting blight isn't biographical information about the supposed subject of this article. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:22, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * JGabbard's addition was sourced and appropriate. It should be restored. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:31, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
