There's no evidence of the subject's notability under

WP:BIO, he is known for participation in a single battle, and is covered in more detail in the article about that battle, and there is no serious prospect of expansion. People interested in this Geoffrey Burel will be able to read about him in the battle article. Sincerely —Alalch E. 20:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Donald Trump photo op at St. John's Church are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

That’s not what I’m referring to

if the protests were in fact not peaceful, then saying they are is a violation of Wikipedia policy on facts. Joshsintrests (talk) 13:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't how you phrased your question on the talk page. In any case, the first three sources report that the protestors were peaceful. They are all

reliable sources. We report was reliable sources state. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 13:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

I won’t deny that the reports say they are peaceful and are generally reliable

and apologies about my phrasing, could have been better

still, according to your very own source, they had set fires to/near the parish house

this is in direct opposition with the previous sources

I guess my real question is, how could we have sources that we cite with them contradicting on a key aspect of the event? Joshsintrests (talk) 13:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing any claim in any of the first three sources about protestors setting fire to anything. (AP Deadline Washington Post) Based on this edit I should remind you that Wikipedia is

not a soapbox. We don't interpret sources, we just report what they explicitly say. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 13:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

No, I’m referring to source 4 and 5

look at my last question in the last post. Joshsintrests (talk) 14:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even sources 4 and 5 call the protestors "peaceful" so that is what the article reflects. You are trying to reinterpret sources which is

WP:OR. The first five sources all call the protestors peaceful. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 14:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

I’m just reading what the article says point blank. Joshsintrests (talk) 14:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
