Edit summaries are not a talk page. This is a talk page. Use the talk page. TimothyJosephWood 22:21, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
This anonymous edit was undone, but was it really a vandalism? To me, it looks reasonable. StrokeOfMidnight ( talk) 08:11, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Hey all!
Proposal: I propose removing Milwaukee Uprising from the lede.
Justification: It would seem like the media no longer uses this description since August. I typed "Milwaukee uprising" (in quotes) into Google, and a vast majority of the stories were written in August despite the subject still being active. ABC News is the only one using the term consistently. I couldn't find any use of it on CNN, WSJ, and NYTimes.
Finally, having Milwaukee Uprising in the opening sentence gives this term a significant weight, which, in my view, is unjustified.
