Talk:Bernardine Dohrn

message: The article currently contains the following:
:On October 31, 1969, a grand jury indicted 22 people, including Dohrn, for their involvement with the trial of the Chicago Eight, and she was again indicted on April 2, 1970, when a Federal Grand Jury indicted twelve members of the Weatherman group on conspiracy charges in violation of anti-riot acts during the "Days of Rage." However, all of these convictions were reversed on November 21, 1972, by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on the basis the judge was biased in his refusal to permit defense attorneys to screen prospective jurors for cultural and racial bias.
The first problem is that the third sentence refers to convictions. What convictions? There is no indication that Dohrn had been convicted of anything at that point. So the sentence makes no sense. The second problem is that a quick search of the cited source for the third sentence (U.S. v. Dellinger, 472 F.2d 340 (7th Cir. 1972)) reveals that Dohrn's name is not even mentioned in it. How could her conviction (if there was one) have been reversed in a court decision that didn't mention her name? That doesn't make sense. There is a verification problem. I don't have time to dig into this right now. Does anybody who is more familiar with Dohrn's history have any light to shed? SunCrow (talk) 00:15, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

message: As per MOS:TERRORIST, we should avoid using the term "terrorist" in articles, generally. Maybe use "militant", if anything? Besides, it's kinda obvious that it's a militant organisation, both due to Weather Underground's article and the fact that the article's subject is wanted by the FBI. Thanks for y'alls time.

replies: text: Edit made was obviously in direct violation of MOS:TERRORIST, since there was no attribution. I would oppose inclusion even with attribution, since the article makes it clear what they did without any needless labelling. FDW777 (talk) 08:18, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Alleged crimes, since she doesn't appear to have been convicted of them (misdemeanor charges of aggravated battery and bail jumping are a separate matter). Also the alleged bombings committed by Dohrn are not mentioned in the body of the article, they would need to be mentioned there before even considering adding them to the lead.

text: I have no intention of making any such edit to Proud Boys, nor suggesting such an edit. That would be against the consensus from the recently closed (11 November) request for comment at Talk:Proud Boys/Archive 5#RfC: Statements in lead. In the absence of any significant change in the last two weeks as to how references see the Proud Boys, even suggesting such a change would be a waste of time.
