Talk:2016 Nevada Democratic presidential caucuses

Hullabaloo

What about the May 14 State Convention? [1], [2], [3]. It looks like worth mentioning. -Thylacin (talk) 08:46, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

State Convention

In paragraph one, reports of violence have been disputed. Although the NYT cites instances of chair throwing, NPR has published a fact-checking article disputing this.

In paragraph two, only the POV of Jon Ralston and the NV Democratic Party are presented. The direct quote from his article implies that his opinion is "fact". In light of new information, this is in dispute.

I believe paragraph three is balanced between opposing POV.

In re: chair being thrown. NPR ombudsman says merely that there is no video and that reports disagree - they usually do in incidents of this sort. However, both the AP and the NYTimes published this assertion. Both are knows to check concrete facts of this sort and would have had the opportunity to speak to neutral witnesses, i.e. the security personnel. But since we have two extremely reputable news sources backing this up, and Politifact saying "no clear evidence of a chair being thrown" with a link to a video, I think it stays until or unless the Times or AP retracts the statement. On the assumption that witnesses may have offered facts that were not caught on anyone's iPhone. (If a tree falls in a forest and no one catches it on video, did it fall?).E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:47, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

The last paragraph unfairly characterizes the events at the state convention. It is sourced by a Snopes article which does not mention any of the events listed in the paragraph, and further implies that the reporting of violence was fabricated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.184.236 (talk) 20:56, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Latino/Latina/Latinx

Hi Edificio Barro,

It would make sense to use "Latinx" if we did not know the gender of the person involved, but in the sentence "Clinton had campaigned heavily in the state, airing an ad in which she comforted a young ... girl who was worried her parents would be deported", and in the description for the video in question she is described as a "girl", so I think it is pretty reasonable to use "Latina" here, per the guideline on precision and clarity, which says:

• Do not omit gender when the result is pointlessly vague: "Queen Elizabeth II is the mother of Charles, Prince of Wales" rather than "Queen Elizabeth II is a parent of Charles, Prince of Wales"

I note that your edit has now been reverted by three different editors, so I don't think I have misunderstood the guidelines. Can you explain why you think "Latinx girl" is preferable to "Latina girl" in this case? cpcallen (talk) 13:17, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
