2010 Dildo incident

edit

In 2010 he shoved a dildo up his butt live on camera in order to "own the libs". Can we include this in the article? ~2026-98875-4 (talk) 15:26, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Nope, we should not and should never include that, that's very disconcerting and horrible and probably the worst thing I've ever heard. Now what I do think should be included is the (small) correction to the family migration to Ontario when he was four five bit. So could somebody see that change as I made it below? Pinging the guy who protected the sodding article: @Guy (help! - typo?) < no offense to you mate but this BLP does need to get it right (pun intended, as in far-right). ~2026-18742-74 (talk) 12:55, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Lmao, I also noticed this has been up for a month, we should just let it stay there, this is hilarious. I also think I should say that we could add any kind of incident that McInnes has gotten himself into, included this one extra inning incident, if it has sources. ~2026-18742-74 (talk) 12:55, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Get this sentence correct, which is also where the {{citation needed}} is

edit

There's a {{citation needed}}, in § Early life, right after a sentence saying: His family migrated to Canada when McInnes was four (I bolded the age). Now I don't know if that was on intention because either the tagger was ignoring the cite at the end of that whole sentence or that was because of different ones giving different ages, so the fact was tagged to bring that into question.. but if it hasn't already been considered, according to page 83 of the 'Original Sins' magazine article (it's already there in § Further reading) written by Adam Leith Gollner of Vanity Fair, he wasn't moved there when he was four like in the article, but when he was five. ~2026-18742-74 (talk) 12:55, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

And side note: similarly for the second {{citation needed}} in § Compound Censored and other ventures (2019-present), you can use the feature from Tablet Magazine already there in the 'further reading', so that both that are there are referenced, as well as the article used in ref [83] from Salon for most of § Censored.TV and Get Off My Lawn launch. I would recommend deleting most parts which are trivial, like [On Thursdays,] the show airs live under the alternative title Get Off My Lawn Live and the extra bold as that's not what the MOS suggests. ~2026-18742-74 (talk) 14:48, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please link "Proud Boys" where it occurs in the lede. WP has an article on this and the first appearance is a logical place to link from. ~2026-22133-15 (talk) 09:09, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Also a grammar edit: "white women having abortions and immigration is leading to white genocide": it should say "are", because these are two separate things, i.e. plural. ~2026-22133-15 (talk) 09:14, 10 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
