Comments

This template uses section transclusion to automatically show the comments from Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom. This corresponds to the task name, so that e.g. "News and Notes" will try to transclude Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom#News and notes. If there's no section, you can create one at that title on the talk page and it will show up.

Checklist N Headline N Subheading N Ready for copyedit N Copyedit done N Final approval by editor-in-chief Discussion Can someone please review, revise, and edit the subsection I posted in News and Notes regarding Musk and Tesla. Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/News and notes I am requesting this just because of the sensitivity of discussing anything in this area. Bluerasberry (talk) 16:40, 2 June 2025 (UTC) The DOGE org isn't really "Musk's"; it existed as US Digital Service before his arrival and will probably exist after his departure last week (if I'm not mistaken, reported by USA Today and others). Other than that, I don't see anything wildly controversial. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:46, 2 June 2025 (UTC) Resolved Thanks for reviewing, I updated it. Bluerasberry (talk) 16:32, 3 June 2025 (UTC) I have added a paragraph on one of the files being deleted. – robertsky (talk) 17:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC) Bluerasberry, my initial reading of the paragraph about Elon Musk implied that you were saying Commons users might treat this request differently in light of the current political climate. Were you trying to suggest this? Svampesky (talk) 19:24, 4 June 2025 (UTC) @Svampesky: Yes actually I and others are scared of being called out in public media and shot with actual guns in the street. I do not like the head of the United States government having intense negative and aggressive focus on silly Wikipedia edits. It seems like some routine Wikipedia edits can be perceived as anti-American and treasonously harmful. I am not quite ready to communicate that much fear but I would like to convey a moderately alarmed amount of editorial caution, if you can help put that into words. Bluerasberry (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2025 (UTC) I understand the concern, but I don't think The Signpost should state in its own voice that there is a difference about this particular DMCA request. That phrasing could imply that Commons users are using their own politics to influence the discussion. A more neutral wording might be something like: This is a standard DMCA request, but it might be seen as different to outsiders due to the current political climate surrounding Elon Musk. Svampesky (talk) 19:52, 4 June 2025 (UTC) Yes, that is a better expression of how I feel. I adopted that text. Bluerasberry (talk) 19:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
