Frequently asked questions Q1: Does it have to say "white" police officer?
A1: Yes, because almost all reliable sources emphasize the significance of this fact. Q2: I read some information on the web that isn't in this article!
A2: When proposing anything to be added to the article you need to cite a reliable source; secondary sources are generally preferred over primary. Q3: This article is biased (for/against), or (whitewashes/blames), (Floyd/police)!
A3: See our neutral point of view policy. Complaints of bias must be accompanied by specific concerns or suggestions for change. Vague, general statements don't help. Q4: Why is this article calling it a murder instead of a death/killing?
A4: As a person was formally convicted for murder in a court of law, the article uses the term "murder", in line with the community guidance at WP:MURDERS. Q5: Wasn't Floyd killed near a store called Cub Foods, not Cup Foods?
A5: The store is Cup Foods, and is not affiliated with the Cub Foods store chain. Q6: Why does the article use such a shocking photo? Isn't it in poor taste?
A6: The lead image was determined by the community in a formal Request for Comment process. The RfC reached an "overwhelming consensus" that "...the image, despite it being traumatizing, should be kept per WP:NOTCENSORED, as it is an appropriate representation of the topic." Q7: Why was my request or comment removed?
A7: Because of the frequency of meritless and disruptive requests, any further requests to describe Floyd's murder using other terms (e.g. "death", "overdose") or to change the name of the article accordingly will be removed without consideration, unless the request complies with all relevant Wikipedia guidelines and essays, including WP:Requested moves, WP:Common name, WP:Article titles, WP:Naming conventions (violence and deaths), and WP:Reliable sources. Anyone removing such requests should include a link to this FAQ in their edit summary. Q8: Why do we not call the protests riots?
A8: Because multiple reliable sources call them protests, not riots. |

Inclusion of aftermath in info box edit
Wouldn't it be pertinent to include aftermath info in the infobox similar to the Kenosha unrest? AidanWelch (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Title edit
Shouldn't this article be at Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone? CHAZ is the name by which it is best known and the focus of the article, as indicated by the opening sentence.128.151.71.8 (talk) 17:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed - moving. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 23:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to be some technical limitations so take it up with WP:Requested Moves LegalSmeagolian (talk) 23:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
