Frequently asked questions Q1: Does it have to say "white" police officer?
A1: Yes, because almost all reliable sources emphasize the significance of this fact. Q2: I read some information on the web that isn't in this article!
A2: When proposing anything to be added to the article you need to cite a reliable source; secondary sources are generally preferred over primary. Q3: This article is biased (for/against), or (whitewashes/blames), (Floyd/police)!
A3: See our neutral point of view policy. Complaints of bias must be accompanied by specific concerns or suggestions for change. Vague, general statements don't help. Q4: Why is this article calling it a murder instead of a death/killing?
A4: As a person was formally convicted for murder in a court of law, the article uses the term "murder", in line with the community guidance at WP:MURDERS. Q5: Wasn't Floyd killed near a store called Cub Foods, not Cup Foods?
A5: The store is Cup Foods, and is not affiliated with the Cub Foods store chain. Q6: Why does the article use such a graphic photo? Isn't it in poor taste?
A6: The lead image was determined by the community in a formal Request for Comment process. The RfC reached an "overwhelming consensus" that "...the image, despite it being traumatizing, should be kept per WP:NOTCENSORED, as it is an appropriate representation of the topic." Q7: Why was my request or comment removed?
A7: Because of the frequency of meritless and disruptive requests, any further requests to describe Floyd's murder using other terms (e.g. "death", "overdose") or to change the name of the article accordingly will be removed without consideration, unless the request complies with all relevant Wikipedia guidelines and essays, including WP:Requested moves, WP:Common name, WP:Article titles, WP:Naming conventions (violence and deaths), and WP:Reliable sources. Anyone removing such requests should include a link to this FAQ in their edit summary. Q8: Why do we not call the protests riots?
A8: Because most reliable sources call them protests, not riots. Q9: Didn't he die of a drug overdose?
A9: No. While fentanyl was a contributory factor, his death certificate lists his cause of death as "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression". |

Consensus for title
[edit]@StAnselm: At the time of the closure of the move discussion, consensus seemed to be in favor of the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest title. However, in the section below it, two out of the three editors who had replied to the move request in support made the case for instead using the Capitol Hill Organized Protest title. In the move discussion, no argument was made that would support the use of the former title over the latter. Therefore, I think that consensus would support a move of this article to Capitol Hill Organized Protest. –Gluonz talk contribs 17:14, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- No, you would need to start a new move discussion per WP:RM. StAnselm (talk) 05:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Would be nice to get it back to CHAZ (what it started as...who has the street sign that was hoisted up? that would be nice to have and kept safe somewhere for the city) anyway, it was rebranded CHOP when the media et al started to show up in real numbers. It's a shame. Gusbenz (talk) 16:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- It seems like at least in Seattle, "CHOP" is what most of the locals refer to it as. I cannot speak for other places, though. When the news media here cover it, they call it the CHOP. Here is a recent example from KUOW, a local PBS radio affiliate link. Chairman Meow 22 (talk) 23:41, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Is the murder of Antonio Mays Jr. notable enough for its own article?
[edit]There has been a recent uptick in reporting specifically on the fourth CHOP shooting. A Seattle Times / KUOW podcast has renewed interest in the case and generated several independent articles, e.g. Seattle Times and NPR. The legal battle has also generated a number of articles by itself.
WP:Notability and WP:Notability (events) are not particularly clear to me in this instance. Assthmatic1995 (talk) 18:07, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
