Please refrain from using talk pages for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 03:54, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no debate in reliable sources concerning the false nature of Trump's claims. There is broad consensus for making this plain throughout Wikipedia. Please stop using Fetterman's talkpage as a soapbox for your personal assessment. Acroterion (talk) 03:55, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually trying to improve the article. I really don't care if Trump's claims were true or false since I don't live in the US or follow politics. I just know an unfalsifiable claim when I see one and don't see why this article on Fetterman needs to lose its credibility by pretending it's falsifiable. Other Wikipedia articles may also make this error, but it doesn't mean this one should. Yellowpelican (talk) 19:25, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't concerned with your interpretation of what is falsifiable or not, we go by reliable sources, which universally describe the claims as false. So that's what Wikipedia says. Acroterion (talk) 19:56, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like you aren't interested in a discussion and aren't interested in feedback. Enjoy the control you are exerting over this article. Yellowpelican (talk) 04:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I’m not interested in debating encyclopedia policy with you. The policies require us all to stick to what reliable sources say. Acroterion (talk) 13:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Please refer to Acroterion's message and stop your reverting on John Fetterman. Thanks Andre🚐 21:19, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  What would be the productive and respectful way to have a conversation about what is a falsifiable claim and what is a non-falsifiable claim)? False (proven to be false) vs unsubstantiated (no evidence of its truth). I see these details as essential for Wikipedia. I hear talk in the political centre of their concerns about bias in Wikipedia. I'd love to be able to help as a politically neutral person, as far as US politics go. I love Wikipedia, donate money every month, but I'm concerned about Wikipedia's reputation. Yellowpelican (talk) 22:31, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
