Change 'Legal Issues' to 'Hate Crimes'. 47.155.220.179 ( talk) 10:16, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
As far as I can remember, that particular section was called Hate Crimes and then there was some social media attention that got it changed to Legal Issues. I disagree with the discussion above justifying the change.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluedoor17 ( talk • contribs)
Many editors seem to be constantly debating weather the "Legal Issues" under the Early Life section should be changed back to "Hate Crimes". I think the best thing to do at this point is to create a separate section for his Legal Issues, and the top of the section should have a heading of "Hate Crimes". I believe this is reasonable as one of his offenses was not an actual hate crime, although most of them were. In the long run this should put an end to the constant editing of this page. Also, as others have said, I believe Wahlberg could possibly have his own Wikipedia account and could be behind the constant edits. If this continues, weather its him or other people, I suggest we add stronger protection to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacksonpuckett1 ( talk • contribs)

His years active info needs to be cleaned up, because having two years active info of both his acting and rapping just clutters up the infobox even more. Therefore there should be just one, it should currently just say "1984–present", because it will help make things easier. 2600:1000:B04C:469D:9889:C1EF:95C:D096 ( talk) 04:43, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

12:09, 8 December 2021 (UTC)While factually correct, the edit from HAL333 ( /info/en/?search=Special:MobileDiff/1035982036) seems unproductive. Wahlberg is not widely known for being a criminal, but rather a rapper, model, and actor. The notability of Wahlberg is entirely in his entertainment career, not criminal history (which is already mentioned in its own section). Glenohumeral13 ( talk) 17:05, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
I agree that it seems to be awfully prominent placement for something that is, at least at the moment, significantly less noteworthy. If the incidents began to get as much attention as his career, the Wikipedia page would then need to be adjusted accordingly, but for now, he is much more noted for the latter.

Change "legal issues" to "hate crimes" Drftyeol ( talk) 00:45, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
This needs correction: "One individual attacked by Wahlberg when they were a child opposed the pardon..."
Should read: "One individual attacked by Wahlberg when he was a child opposed the pardon..."
One individual can't be referred to by "they" and would not be used with the verb "were," unless this is a situation where the victim has a personal preference for the pronoun "they" in association with gender identity. It is not evident that is the case here. I would still think "was" would be the appropriate verb for a single individual, but I don't know if standardized rules have been agreed upon with regard to the relatively new phenomenon of choosing your pronouns. If the original sentence is correct due to pronoun preference, I would suggest perhaps a parenthetical explanation to clear up the confusion. Thank you. 66.91.36.8 ( talk) 00:29, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
@ Myasuda: You want to put Wahlberg's legal issues in the "Early life and family" section. I am opposed to this and I think it should go in the Personal life section. Another example of a Wikipedia page that put a celebrity's pre-fame criminal past in the Personal life section is the page for Tim Allen. Due to the span of time these incidents affected Wahlberg's life through significant events, from early life to post-fame adulthood, I think it should go in the Personal life section. Furthermore, of the 3 documented racial assaults, the third occurred in 1992 which in well after he first became famous.
I was also thinking that perhaps the "Legal issues" subsection should be renamed "Racial assault incidents". What do you think? This was an earlier discussion I missed, never mind.

Change section header from "Legal issues" to "Legal issues and racial controversies"
Commentary (not an edit): I understand Wikipedia should be neutral which is why I tried to use neutral language in the header, but for reference there is a page called "Racial views of Donald Trump" so there is precedent on Wikipedia for identifying controversies as being explicitly racial in their nature.

14:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)I added a summarizing sentence to the start of the Legal issues section, but was reverted by FMSky who said "thats obvious from the section".
I think including the sentence makes the article more true to
WP:LEDEFOLLOWSBODY and avoids potential
WP:SYNTH. The lede says Wahlberg was involved in a number of violent and racially motivated attacks
, and while this is rather obvious for anyone who reads the Legal issues section, it is not explicitly stated nor verified by an individual source in the body. My addition ensures that the statement from the lede is also included in the body and verified by a reliable source. ––
