A number of sources reject Elizabeth Warren's use of the identifier "progressive" and instead identify her more closely with the centrist (neo)liberal factions of the Democratic Party, and she is not a member of the Progressive Caucus. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] The article should be updated to reflect that "progressive" is at best a disputed self-identification with her being repudiated by a number of American progressives.

@ Usernameunique: has removed the recently removed word "slur" as a description of the name Pocahontas. This is widely regarded as a racist slur, as are many such "nicknames". I cannot revert due to 1RR. We are an encyclopedia and should be better than that. (BTW, I just tried to read the "reviews" to the book on Amazon and had to stop because of the gross racism.)

Remove the "nickname" section from the header. Pocahontas is not a nickname that Warren has embraced - it is only used by Donald Trump and right wing officials for political purposes. Nobody else uses this term to refer to Warren. Why should we support this narrative through adding this so prominently? Loveandpolisci ( talk) 13:53, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

The heading of the section "Ancestry and Native American relations" is odd because the majority of the content references the controversy around her claims of Native American ancestry (that she has since apologized for) rather than her actual ancestry or relations with Native American communities. The only segment that would fit the "Native American relations" aspect specifically is the small paragraph at the very end that seems more like a campaign endorsement than anything informative about the subject.
This section should be renamed and the final paragraph removed or moved to a different section. It is a bit incoherent otherwise, but perhaps there are partisan reasons to leave it the way it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.120.9.45 ( talk) 15:18, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

'Throughout his presidency, former president Donald Trump mocked Warren for her assertions of Native American ancestry, and called her the slur "Pocahontas".'
I struggle to see how it can be justified to refer to that as a "slur". Maybe some left leaning publications do, but does a majority of publications? From what I've seen the answer is no.
'At a July 2018 Montana rally, he promised that if he debated Warren, he would pay $1 million to her favorite charity if she could prove her Native American ancestry via a DNA test. Warren released results of a DNA test in October 2018, then asked Trump to donate the money to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center. Trump responded by denying that he had made the challenge. The DNA test found that Warren's ancestry is mostly European but "strongly support[ed] the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor", likely "in the range of 6 to 10 generations ago".'
Very misleading, Trump challenged her to take a DNA test that "shows you’re an Indian". Clearly having the same amount of Native DNA as any random white American doesn't satisfy that. Also the 'Trump responded by denying that he made the challenge' is also misleading as fact checked here - https://www.politifact.com/article/2018/oct/15/context-donald-trumps-1-million-offer-elizabeth-wa/
'The DNA test found that Warren's ancestry is mostly European but "strongly support[ed] the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor", likely "in the range of 6 to 10 generations ago".'
This is potentially misleading to viewers unless we note that this is the same amount of ancestry that a random white American is likely to have. 84.70.169.190 ( talk) 07:56, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this revert:
President Trump- as far as I know, Trump hasn't said anything about Warren for some time, so "has" can go.has"persistently mocked" Warren
Trump promised that if he debated Warren, he would- "offer to" is not needed.offer topay $1 million to her favorite charity
if she could prove her Native American ancestry via a DNA test. Warren released results of a DNA test- DNA test should be wikilinked on first mention, not second.
"Warren's past claims of American Indian ancestry garnered fierce criticism from both sides of the aisle, with President Donald Trump labeling her with a slur, " Pocahontas"- this slur is better mentioned when we first discuss Trump mocking Warren - keep related information together.
She later reached out to- "reached out" is jargon; should be the simple verb "contacted" - see WP:PLAINENGLISH.
Warren understands "that being a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen is rooted in centuries of culture and laws not through DNA tests."- period should come after quotation marks; see MOS:LQUOTE.
In mid-February 2019- just "in February 2019" is fine; if we want to be more precise, then give the date instead.
Please reconsider this revert. Popcornfud ( talk) 09:36, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
