I want to remind those who keep reinserting the garbled smeary account of Mensch's twitter misadventures that this article is under DS for BLP and much of it relates also to American Politics. There is plenty of reasoned RS material from which to improve the article without resorting to cherrypicked SYNTH and incomplete article text. SPECIFICO talk 20:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
"additional revelations ... that were later confirmed,"but her summary bears little resemblance to the articles in question, which describe Mensch, e.g., as an "aggressive conspiracy theorist." Will SPECIFICO endorse using that descriptor?) TheTimesAreAChanging ( talk) 21:03, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
"cherrypicked"and that
"the central narrative in the body of mainstream RS reporting"is more favorable to Mensch, you need to demonstrate that with sources, or you're just wasting our time. TheTimesAreAChanging ( talk) 03:15, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

As I tried to explain in the edit summary [1], I don't see any reason to combine the refs in that way. I've sometimes seen this used when there is a footnote or at least some explanation, but it doesn't make sense in this way IMO. I also don't know why there is that other ref. What's special about it? It's the latest ref of that set, but the other refs also vary in time. Nil Einne ( talk) 15:54, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Last sentence in introductory piece reads 'Mensch, as well as her website Heat Street, has published multiple unverified claims, and promoted hoaxes and conspiracy theories about the Trump administration and its ties to the Russian Federation,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] leading her to be labelled a conspiracy theorist.'
Written with little objectivity and even less grammar. Have also checked sources sited and they are partisan news pieces.
Should either be re-written or removed. I would say the latter as not sure a politician's view on a specific series of incidents in Trump's presidency should feature in a summary of a person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.100.55 ( talk) 06:04, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
I removed this since the single source that called her a conspiracy theorist was an editorial/analysis piece in the Oregonian. The header already alleges she pushes conspiracy theories, anyways. notJackhorkheimer ( talk / contribs) 04:11, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to fix that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim333 ( talk • contribs) 13:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
