Talk:Adam Kokesh

message: This really needs to be cleaned up. The man pulled out a shotgun in the centre of DC in 2016 and served jail time and most of the 2016 section is about his book. It's preposterous. The page should be deleted if no established editors are looking after it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.24.235.14 (talk) 19:24, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

text: The issue originally addressed by the editors above seems to have already been addressed in the article. What changes are you proposing regarding :Info Wars? Just add them to the article as the other editor suggested. Saturnalia0 (talk) 15:40, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

text: What "ties"?  Sounds like a weasel word. I Googled Info Wars and Adam Kokesh, but found articles about him there.  The website has articles about a whole bunch of public figures, not just Kokesh. Right-wing or not, it is a news website, and being written about or interviewed by them doesn't mean he has "ties" to it.  I found an interview with him so if it's necessary to mention that he has been a guest, I can do that, but it sounds like trivia.--23mason (talk) 16:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

text: I mentioned it, but another editor removed it. So I'm leaving this alone now.--23mason (talk) 17:38, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

text: I've added a "controversies" section. Feel free to contribute to it! 84percent (talk) 04:06, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello,
I've made some massive changes recently, including:
* Expansion to the introduction, and mentioning he is a single-issue candidate
* An expansion of background on Kokesh's early life, family, and military service
* Replacing the headings in the "Activism" section to human-readable subjects rather than merely years/chronology
* More background on his high-profile Iraq Veterans Against The War protests in 2007, including resulting discipline and protests in his support
* Expansion on much of his activism (incl. the protest against the high-profile cursing ban in Middleborough)
* Expansion of positions on government, abortion and foreign policy
* Additional background about FREEDOM! and the "book bomb" in January
* "Controversies" section, which is currently thin
* Moving his bid for congress out of the "Activism" section
I've added the best WP:RSs I can find. Please let me know if there are any problems. I would appreciate any feedback! 84percent (talk) 01:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
