Repeated removal of information

77.22.168.12, this source explicitly says that "Carr has made it clear that he wants the FCC to punish news broadcasters that he perceives as being unfair to Trump or Republicans in general". You allege a violation of NPOV. Could you care to elaborate? BootsED (talk) 23:17, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, another used removed it (I didn't understand why, either). See diff link - 77.22.168.12 (talk) 23:18, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! I will add it back in with your changes. BootsED (talk) 22:31, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Brendan Carr (lawyer) → Brendan Carr – Previous pagemove was reverted. Lawyer is undoubtedly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC with respect to long-term significance (chair of the FCC), mentions in news/independent reliable sources, as well as pageviews (note that the pageviews of the main "Brendan Carr" article in the last month were also about the lawyer). Hatnotes are sufficient to disambiguate the other subjects with the same name. Wikipedical (talk) 21:33, 23 May 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
