While this article was still a subpage of my user space for development purposes, and before it was moved to the mainspace, I privately contacted Cassandra Fairbanks off-wiki and asked her to upload to Wikimedia Commons a photo of herself to which she owned the right to assign for use on Wikipedia. I did so because I believe a picture greatly enhances the appearance of any BLP. She replied, "Please don’t put me on Wikipedia." It is therefore accurate to say that this biography was published over the objection of the subject. I promise to have no further contact off-wiki with Cassandra Fairbanks, whom I personally do not know and with whom I previously had no interaction online.

The Gateway Pundit was deprecated in 2019 when Wikipedia editors reached consensus that the site is unacceptable as a source. It is unreliable for statements of fact, and given to publishing hoax articles and reporting conspiracy theories as fact. External URLs matching that domain are automatically reverted by XLinkBot when added to a page, including when added in a reference, by unregistered users and accounts under seven days old. Consequently, it is either impossible or inadvisable to cite the journalistic contributions of Cassandra Fairbanks to The Gateway Pundit. As a point of information (not a policy or guideline), Wikipedia acknowledges that a clear majority of sources deprecated for unreliability are politically conservative or right wing. Wikipedia describes this preponderance as "an artifact of a fundamental difference between conservative and non-conservative media, with conservative media clustered around a shared ideology while the rest of the media ecosystem has a 'reality-check dynamic' based on traditional journalistic fact-seeking."
I don't disagree with the content of the note, which reflects Wikipedia consensus on Gateway Pundit as a source. I just think it's not relevant to our readers, and doesn't belong in this article. It's advice for editors of Wikipedia, not part of a biography of Cassandra Fairbanks. See also WP:Avoid self-references and WP:No disclaimers. Robofish (talk) 15:45, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
There have been repeated attempts to remove the piped parameter "nationwide riots" from the wikilinked George Floyd protests in the subsection Shift to right. This is disruptive because it falsely suggests that Cassandra Fairbanks criticized those protests. In fact, the cited source states (twice) that she criticized the riots associated with the protests, not the protests themselves. Moreover, Wikipedia's page George Floyd protests states in relevant part: While the majority of protests have been peaceful, demonstrations in some cities descended into riots, looting, and street skirmishes with police. … At least 200 cities in the U.S. had imposed curfews by June3, while at least more than 30 states and Washington, D.C. activated over 62,000 National Guard personnel due to the mass unrest.
These misrepresentations have been made by four separate WP:SPA IP accounts, with editing warring by two of them, as follows:
