The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.
The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Passerby comment (this is not a review, others should still feel free to grab this as a review). Given that there's plenty of sources on this topic and that it's pretty controversial, I'd suggest removing Newsweek as a reference from the article and from any proposed hooks without a truly powerful justification for why any specific Newsweek story is reliable. See WP:NEWSWEEK, that publication has gone downhill since 2013 or so and just makes stuff up these days, and is considered a suspicious-if-not-entirely-deprecated source. While here, I'd check the sources against WP:RSP in general - WP:FORBESCON suggests that using the hook referenced to a Forbes contributor is also not great and should be replaced if possible, unless there's an independent case to be made that the specific author is reliable.

an active merge discussion and three maintenance tags are all disqualifying – it'll need to come off before a review. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 16:52, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note We need to avoid redirects from the Main Page as per WP:MPNOREDIRECT. [[Bud Light]] is a redirect and that needs fixing before this gets promoted (eventually). Schwede66 04:28, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
New enough, long enough. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ unnecessary. ALT0 is the only usable hook, as Newsweek, Forbes and BusinessInsider are all yellow on WP:RSP, ALT1 is additionally too long, and ALT1 and ALT3 are not in the article. Otherwise good to go.--Launchballer 08:02, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like ALT0 gives attention to Kid Rock and also misidentifies the weapon he used. The press also often confuses assault weapons (which are aggressive looking military style semi-automatics) and machine guns. KR used an actual machine gun which has an auto sear. I confirmed that ALT4 is cited and in the article and I have removed the Bud Light redirect as @Schwede66: has suggested. The Newsweek reference about the boycott is not the only one in the article supporting the ALT4 hook - I checked. It seems the most accurate and sober choice.

Admittedly, I shouldn't have changed the wording here. But I will ask if, in the lede, the quotations are really necessary, since it is indirect speech. Pinging @Glman:, who reverted my WP:BOLD edit. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's fine to drop the quotes in the lead, as the attribution is clear and it's not a full quote. glman (talk) 17:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
