Now that the opening sentence question is settled, there was some discussion about mentioning the arrest/conviction/jail sentence in the first paragraph. Currently this information is contained in the last paragraph of the lead.
I'm fine with the status quo. Most of the lead is dedicated to discussing why Duke is notable. Most of the article also dedicated to that as well. The conviction and jail time receive due mention in the lead. Obviously people are free to disagree and we can discuss here. Thanks! - Nemov ( talk) 19:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
reflect the balance of reliable sourcessince the conviction; and by MOS:LEADREL because the conviction and imprisonment are described with more than a dozen sentences in the substantial "Tax fraud conviction and defrauding followers" section. Llll5032 ( talk) 23:09, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
In the section "Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" the text reads: "Duke also reformed the organization, promoting nonviolence and legality, and, for the first time in the Klan's history, women were accepted as equal members..." This, in spite of the WKKK (Women's Ku Klux Klan) having been formally established in 1923, 27 years before Duke was born. 192.34.130.215 ( talk) 18:25, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Duke's website needs be added in the box at the top. Here it is: https://davidduke.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.197.239.8 ( talk) 01:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research. A current headline on his website is
The Giant Jewish Vampire Squid Criminal Bank With Its Blood Funnel Stuck Into the Face of Humanity!We should not link to a blatantly antisemitic disinformation site. Cullen328 ( talk) 02:16, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Forgive my unfamiliarity with certain process regarding Cat-Removal, I'm just curious as to why StAnselm made this change. Edit summary says "per category description and long-standing consensus", but I'm not sure which consensus they are referring to, or how the category description would be construed as inaccurate. Duke is notable, at the very least in part, due to his advocacy and ties to antisemitism in the US. Cheers. DN ( talk) 03:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
See here.
IMO, a majority of the content/citations removed seems somewhat trivial, overall. (See below)
"In 2017, he accused Anthony Bourdain of promoting white genocide; in response, Bourdain offered to "rearrange" Duke's kneecaps. [1] [2]"
"Duke rented an apartment in Moscow beginning around 1999. [3]"
Supposed "Zionist control"
"Duke told a gathering of nearly 70 participants."
I also find these changes to be somewhat of an improvement over the original text, including removal of WP:WEASEL wording.
I'm willing to let the removal stand unless someone has a compelling reason to keep it. DN ( talk) 04:15, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
