In the newsA news item involving this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "In the news" column on March 18, 2017.

[edit]

There is an allegation on this page stating that Chuck Berry videoed himself urinating on women. Three articles are cited as sources; one is from a satirical magazine similar to MAD Magazine and The Onion, the other two make no mention of these allegations whatsoever. There is no evidence to support this claim. 2601:184:497F:8D80:117A:5CA0:832A:4E8 (talk) 08:44, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree, it should be removed. --195.99.227.0 (talk) 01:14, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
There are literally videos of him doing this and this is mentioned in articles all over the internet[1] Bradders999 (talk) 22:32, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Consenual acts don't belong in the "Physical and Sexual Abuse Allegations" section

[edit]

In the section titled "Physical and sexual abuse allegations", there's a discussion of videos of Berry urinating on a woman and her defecating on him. These acts are specifically described as presumably consensual in the cited source. They don't belong in a section about abuse allegations. There's no section where they do belong, so I'm deleting that sentence. Izzy Grosof (talk) 04:44, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The archive page is no good so I have reverted this. I would report it if you had some simple way to do so. GA-RT-22 (talk) 09:08, 10 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
GA-RT-22, if you click on the "Report bug" link in the bot message, you will, via a soft redirect, get to User talk:InternetArchiveBot where errors can be reported. SilkTork (talk) 11:06, 2 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
@SilkTork: That's not a simple way to report a problem. "Report bug" takes me to a soft redirect. Clicking on the destination takes me to a Wikimedia user talk page. Clicking on "Report problem" there takes me to a list of common problems. Scrolling to the bottom I can click on "Report problem". That takes me to a page that asks me to log in. Clicking on "Log in" takes me to a page where I can enter my name and password. Entering my name and password there takes me to a video game. At that point I gave up.

GA-RT-22. I clicked on "Report bug" and followed the process until, like you, I gave up. It's crap. SilkTork (talk) 22:46, 24 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I figured it out. When you get to the Wikimedia user talk page you want to just start a new thread and report your problem there. The big "Report A Problem" button at the top is not what you want. GA-RT-22 (talk) 18:39, 3 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

1990 videotape event

[edit]

In the Controversies section the two paragraphs each describe a 1990 videotape event, one in the context of a civil lawsuit, the other in the context of criminal charges. These are actually the same event, but the way it's written makes it sound like two events. These should be consolidated somehow. And maybe a better source found, although Rolling Stone before 2011 is generally considered reliable, and I don't think we need the attribution. GA-RT-22 (talk) 07:26, 24 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
