replies: text: Hmm, interesting.  it appears an earlier version of the article did address this but it was taken out in March '06.  I agree it should be put back in but rather than tagging a label in the article, "anti-Semite", it would be best to find some specific quotes from Kahl expressing these beliefs and quote them in the article.  70.108.97.172 13:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article deserves a neutrality flag. A term like "radical right-wing" is imprecise and prejudicial.
:Be WP:BOLD!  Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit.  I'm going to go ahead and take the term out now. 70.108.97.172 13:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality?

message: I toned down some of the rhetoric. For example, the article had listed Scott Faul himself in a footnote as the "source" for the assertion about felony v. non-felony, while the main text was trying to imply that what Scott Faul was asserting was somehow "revealed" (as though his assertion was an established, irrefutable fact). Sorry, but sworn testimony by Scott Faul is not generally going to be considered a reliable source as to why the United States Marshals Service personnel were there. Scott Faul is one of the people convicted as a result of the incident.
And, if that kind of assertion is going to be re-inserted in the article, we should make clear that it's Scott Faul's assertion, and not falsely imply that it is something that Wikipedia has determined was "revealed". Wikipedia cannot take the position that this or that assertion was "revealed," especially when the person doing the "revealing" was part of the incident itself. In short, use of the term "revealed" in this context is not a neutral presentation. Famspear (talk) 20:24, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Tone down the rhetoric

message: DUSM Bud Warren met often with Kahl face-to-face; the new marshal Ken Muir proposed arresting Kahl for publicly speaking,  in violation of his parole, about his view of the unconstitutionality of the income tax. Warren declined to accompany Muir to the roadblock: Warren thought a showdown was unnecessary. If Muir had not pushed a showdown, in all probability, Kahl would have died an obscure crank, there would be no WP article on Gordon Kahl, and Muir and Cheshire would have peaceably retired. Not every protruding nail deserves a sledgehammer. Naaman Brown (talk) 10:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Or tanks with battering rams or shooting mothers holding babies. Talk about your over kill. It's usually a bad day when the men/women in black with acronyms come breaking down the door. Be it the right door or not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwalt44 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Justified?

message: "A tip was received by authorities from the youngest daughter of a property owner, whose land Leonard Ginter and his wife Norma Ginter lived on."
I, Eileen Wade Walton, am the youngest daughter of the owner of the property the Ginters lived on and I did NOT tip off authorities. At the time, I was a 19 year old college student and wasn't aware that Kahl or any other fugitive was on the property. I was babysitting my nephew the night of the shootout and was surprised and frightened by the news of a shooting nearby.

thread_title:  Please Remove Error in Article 

message: This article claims that Yorivon Kahl is due for release from prison in 2023, but when I entered his number in the Federal Bureau of Prisons website (which is footnoted in the aforementioned claim), it said "Release Date: LIFE". So is Yori actually serving a life sentence then? Chillowack (talk) 08:13, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The details of the arrest are very confusing.  I get the idea that the first paragraph is a summation, and the rest of the section gives more detail, but it seems to start the events twice, which is not obvious to the reader.  It's as if they were stopped by the FBI twice, and not once.  Or maybe they were stopped twice.  Either way the writing is confusing.  I get the idea it's been "cut & pasted" from various articles.  Perhaps someone could rework the section so that the events and details are arranged in their correct sequence.2605:6000:6947:AB00:49D2:79EC:1362:5C96 (talk) 06:48, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Confrontation and shootout near Medina, North Dakota" Needs Rewritten 

message: The entire page seems to me missing details on certain subjects and is somewhat incomplete/one sided. I've done several months of research on GK and the events herein and would be happy to add info about the alternative version of what happened at Medina, ND, as well as info about the trial for Yorie and Scott, which had many irregularities/issues (none of which is mentioned here). I thought it would make sense to add this so the reader can make an inference themselves as to which viewpoint they believe. Any objections to doing this? Tine Crine (talk) 16:13, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
