Under the "Political Opinions - Black Lives Matter" section, it is mentioned that "no quarter" historically has meant killing surrendered combatants in war. However, modern dictionaries state that it is commonly used to mean 'treated harshly' or something similar. This is mentioned on the linked page for "no quarter." If someone could edit that in, it'd be great :) 100.15.249.172 (talk) 22:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting tidbit that Justice Kagan confirms in this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-DfdSI0_Y around the 11:30 mark that Senator Cotton was a student in her seminar class when she taught at Harvard Law. Not a terribly important detail, but I always enjoy stumbling across those little "degree of separation" things between two people on Wikipedia so I would support adding it here under Education. 129.110.241.35 (talk) 21:14, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citation 180 incorrectly quotes the article it references. It quotes the wrong agency and comes to the opposite conclusion of the cited source quote. The article says: "The National Intelligence Council as well as four other government agencies assess at "low confidence" that COVID-19 originated as a result of natural transmission from an infected animal, but the CIA and other government agencies remain undecided."

Currently citation 180 is FBI director says COVID pandemic 'most likely' originated from Chinese lab. It was added by EdJF on 6 March 2023. I don't think that it needs changing. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 17:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Clearly not an uncontroversial edit. PianoDan (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Cotton is a crybaby who needs his wikipedia site to be protected.
