Edit request on 30 November 2024

Could somebody please add how Carlson is sometimes called "Fucker Carlson" for his far right views? The source link is https://x.com/JohnCleese/status/1387377907111284737 80.193.98.150 (talk) 11:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

X is not an RS. Slatersteven (talk) 11:17, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, simply requesting an edit is an attempt at vandalism now. Don't ask me why. 80.193.98.150 (talk) 17:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who accused you of vandalism? Slatersteven (talk) 17:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever added the "attempted vandalism" tag to this request on the contributions page for this IP (since removed). 80.193.98.150 (talk) 11:53, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

THis is not the place for this discussion, take it to your talk page or wp:ani. Slatersteven (talk) 11:55, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Something that wasn't even possible before your reply giving that link. Why does Wikipedia have so much opacity? 80.193.98.150 (talk) 11:59, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied on your talk page, take this there. Slatersteven (talk) 12:04, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is this type of language appropiate? -- Guiy de Montfort de L'Amaury 21:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently so. 80.193.98.150 (talk) 11:56, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tucker hates his mom

He describes her as a San Francisco Liberal which is significant given his hate of liberals and all of san francisco.

So? Slatersteven (talk) 10:52, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the appropriate place for that response to what was said. Take it to 4chan or Truth Social. 80.193.98.150 (talk) 12:03, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is, you asked to make an edit I asked SO? (as in why is this worthy of inclusion), that is what this talk page is for, discussing edits. Slatersteven (talk) 12:05, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, even with IP addresses, you can't tell the difference between one poster and another. They'll love you on Techdirt. 80.193.98.150 (talk) 11:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tucker Carlson

Hello I saw there is conflicting reverts about Tucker being a conspiracy theorists. How does consensus work if no one agrees. Why can’t people write that he is a conspiracy theorist when it’s obvious at this point 212.33.76.183 (talk) 08:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
