Talk:Rob Ford

Funeral procession revert

copied from my talk page -- Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits)

I saw that you reverted my edit here citing peacock, although none of the copyediting I did highlighted or promoted the subject. I think you may have interpreted my edit surrounding the funeral event and media coverage thereof as vandalism? Just looking for an explanation before I undo your revert.

If I thought it was vandalism I would not have given an edit summary, or it would have been "rvv", and I would not bother responding to you. WP:PEACOCK covers adding grandiose embellishments to describe an event, like changing "a public funeral" to "a large-scale, multi location, live-televised, public funeral" and describing crowds as "large" and "a rare peoples' parade" without any citation. If you want to describe the event of public mourners joining the funeral procession that's probably fine, if you have a source, and if you can do so with neutral language.

What do you mean, "what's the problem now"? You just reverted to the same content. The problem is the same as it was before. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 17:38, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Doug Ford

I removed a mention of Doug Ford being Premier as not being needed, and my edit was undone as vandalism . The claim was unsourced, but that's not a problem since it is easily sourced. And we shouldn't say he is "now" premier, but again that would be easily fixed. The reason I removed it is because it was added to a sentence mentioning that Doug Ford was a councilor while Rob was mayor, in a section on Rob Ford's early life. The mention of Rob's brother being a councilor while Doug was mayor is a reasonable thing to mention (but not in that section), but I feel that what Doug Ford is doing now, after his brother's death, is not really relevant to Rob Ford's article. If readers want to know that then they can read Doug Ford's article. If we do decide to keep that material, it certainly does not belong in the "Early life" section where it was placed. I'll move the mention of his brother being a councilor to a more appropriate section, and if there is consensus to include the statement about Doug being premier now we can add it to the same place.

Moved the mention of his brother being councilor here. No objection if anyone wants to remove it entirely. I think we can make a case for keeping this mention, but I don'r really care about this bit either way. Meters (talk) 04:31, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
