message: Paragraph on overstating Renaissance financial performance conflates sales (revenue) with profits (net income) 2601:681:8380:7EA0:B914:84D9:55CA:28DF (talk) 05:03, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Exaggerated business success 

message: The current article comes across as rather one-sided. As a non-American, the thing Walker is known for is him paying for an abortion and the lies he has told. These aspects have made headlines in many countries, where most of us had never heard about him before the past few weeks. Leaving that out of the lede looks very strange. I can understand that his sports career might be known to Americans, and of course that also belongs in the lede for that reason, but to leave out his latest scandals seem strongly biased.

replies: text: See WP:RECENTISM. He's still best known for his Heisman-winning college career. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That is probably true in the US. I don't even know what Heisman is, and I assume that to be true for at least 95% of all people. That's why I mentioned that his sports career is no doubt noticeable in the US and should be mentioned. However, virtually all media coverage outside of the US concerns his run for senate.

replies: text: , the United States has a population of 330 million people and is by far the country with the most English as a first language speakers. You may not be familiar with the Heisman trophy but hundreds of millions of other people know about it. That trophy has been famous worldwide for a very long time, at least in part because O.J. Simpson won it in 1968. I assume that you may have heard of him. American gridiron football is the biggest sports moneymaking  machine on Earth. Walker has been famous in the United States for over 40 years. This abortion controversy (which certainly deserves due weight coverage) only came to public attention less than a week ago.

replies: text: We also know him for the Herschel Walker trade and his NFL career. We are now knowing him for his Senate race. In a month, we'll (hopefully) know if he won or lost the election and update accordingly. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:56, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lies and abortion scandal belong in the lead 

message: There seems to be a lack of political content practically there is very little of his pre Senate politics and needs to have a expansion on his pre Senate politics. Qwv (talk) 12:29, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Was he politically active in any significant way before his Senate campaign? Cullen328 (talk) 00:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs more political content  

message: The article is a typical left-wing hit piece that makes it seem like Walker is incapable of formulating complete sentences. I think there should be a Complete sentences section showcasing examples of him managing to do that. Asterisks and stuff could draw special attention to utterances exhibiting subject-verb agreement and similar rhetorical skill. EEng 23:33, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I assume this is ironic.  Because it seems like a pretty blatant NPOV violation.  I’m not a frequent Wikipedian, so I can’t cite the policy; but I will bet an arm and a leg that it exists. Calumapplepie (talk) 01:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Complete sentences 

message: Julie Blanchard said from 2012 that she was Walker's fiancée; Walker married Blanchard in 2021." is not a properly worded sentence. What does this mean? Does it mean that she was engaged as far back as 2012? Or that, in the year 2012, she made statements she was engaged to Walker? SecretName101 (talk) 04:49, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Herschel Walker helped the University of Georgia football teams win the de facto national championship his FRESHMAN year over Notre Dame, NOT his JUNIOR year, as the current article claims. 2601:640:C901:28F0:D5B4:BCB5:4A21:259D (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is his College Career section been edited out. Is this someone's way of trying to cancel him? Davidbirdsong31 (talk) 17:45, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who deleted his entire college career section? Some woke idiot trying to cancel him. You let people come in and erase all his accomplishments in college?
