Talk:January 6

message: Deb Hi! I strongly disagree with the revert that you made on May 26. I respect your thinking and experience, but I believe my mentioning of certain groups on the page is necessary, as it's important to know which groups took part. Additionally, I find it difficult to deem local news (NBC NY), The Independent, and the LA Times as unreliable sources, as all three of these are not only reputable sources but also have generally accepted usage on Wikipedia as a whole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by InvadingInvader (talk • contribs) 13:02, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

message: How do we add the five names of the people who died during the Jan 6, 2021 protest at the US Capitol? It would be nice to honor their sacrifice and note how they died. 2601:646:181:8360:1CCB:9204:698:A745 (talk) 05:47, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

message: I came across this page and was about to add a hatnote along the lines of
. However, I then saw that other edits to add such a hatnote have recently been reverted.
From my perspective, the addition of this hatnote wouldn’t be to make it seem like Wikipedia is necessarily saying the Capitol attack is more important than everything else that’s happened on January 6 throughout history; but would rather be a case of WP:ONEOTHER disambiguation. Reliable sources are using the term  to refer to the attack itself (and events surrounding/relating to the attack). I therefore believe disambiguation is necessary in this case to prevent reader confusion, given that the term is being used on its own to refer to the attack as well as the date.

replies: text: I just want to add my post-BOLD support for the addition; there are plenty of reliable sources that refer to the event as just "January 6". WP:ONEOTHER certainly applies. HouseBlastertalk 02:56, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
