Is anyone developing a section on his racism? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3681546-naacp-blasts-tuberville-for-flat-out-racist-reparations-comments/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.34.202.79 ( talk) 18:29, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
@ Mycranthebigman, BlueShirtz, and Kingofthedead: Not something I would usually do but since I foresee a potential WP:EDITWAR over this (the past three edit/reverts while distant, share the same image dispute), I'm starting a WP:CONSENSUS discussion for Tommy Tuberville's portrait. The current dispute is between these images, both of which from cursory inspection seem to have been taken in the same year (2021):
I personally prefer Option 1, as the football does not obscure the subject of the article. I agree that Option 2 better represents the "Coach" Tommy Tuberville personality and past career he has, but reasons above apply. As for which image is more appropriate rule-wise, I hope more experienced editors can chime in here. SuperWIKI ( talk) 14:04, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
This is the conclusion of the introduction of Maxine Waters on Wikipedia:
“Waters was included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.” Maxine Waters
She also voted to decertify an election, but it was in 2004 against a Republican. No need to put that front a center like the conclusory and unconditional statement that Tuberville wanted to “overturn” the 2020 election. (That’s unambiguously a slanted characterization designed to paint Tuberville’s (in my view sad) actions in the most extreme manner, associating Tuberville in the process with some kind of violent coup. Even NPR was more measured in describing what Tuberville actually did: he filed an objection on the floor of the Senate, in regular order, to the electoral college count, https://www.npr.org/sections/insurrection-at-the-capitol/2021/01/07/954380156/here-are-the-republicans-who-objected-to-the-electoral-college-count )
To Wikipedia commenters who will inevitably say that that is a problem for the Maxine Waters page to address (the Maxine Waters page would send you right back here with an identical response), you are enabling the politicization of Wikipedia, and in the process, hastening the decline of bipartisan trust in another purported source of neutrality. Leadership and turning the other cheek is more important than petty political points on a wiki. Please rephrase it from the slanted description in the introduction, akin to the NPR language, or move it to the body, like Wikipedia does for Maxine Waters. 2601:400:8001:2150:BD7E:D5E3:8473:9638 ( talk) 15:24, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

@ PRRfan I think the sentence you reverted is understandable english and clearer than it currently is. It's a common issue I encounter when relating legal decisions where you have competing and contradictory acts, and where a part of the sentence can sometimes be applied to one or the other.

This page needs major overhauls, especially regarding Tommy’s current residence being Florida and the lies about him moving to Alabama in 2018, which he did not do
Tommy did NOT move to Alabama in 2018, his wife and son bought a house he later used as “home address” when he first registered to vote in Alabama in 2019, one day before filing his senate candidacy.

Please review news coverage - I heard of a bipartisan temporal rule change made in a commision and set out for confirmation in the Senate that would have worked around Tubervilles block and that was the only reason he gave up blocking them the normal way. That rule change was made for 3-star and lower ranks only so he continues blocking 4-star promotions. Denniss ( talk) 16:43, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
