“Micro-Aggression Size” chocolate bars
[edit]Jeremy’s just unveiled a new smaller version of their chocolate bars, see [1]. I’m not sure if it’s notable enough to add to the Products section or not. He explicitly encouraged his buyers to give them out as Halloween candy to children, which I imagine is going to cause a controversy in its own right. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:2298 (talk) 04:40, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Request to change the release date of DW and BentKey Film "ChipChila" release date to 10/16/2023. Coltonriggenbach (talk) 19:57, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Done by another editor. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 21:57, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Snow White and the Evil Queen
[edit]Check out (and expand if possible) the draft about this upcoming film. Please leave it in the draft namespace as long as possible. Georgia guy (talk) 01:03, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
NPOV problems
[edit]I recently reverted additions to the lead surrounding The Daily Wire.
The first source states:
The website has also made inaccurate or unsubstantiated claims about climate change
The second:
"An October 2019 article headlined "KNOWLES: AOC Travels To Europe To Cry," made false claims about climate change."
But is this particularly notable in the context of American conservatism? I'm struggling to see how either of these things are notably different from a news agency like National Review, Wall Street Journal (at least the OP-eds), and the like. I'm not suggesting that Daily Wire is a hub for reputable journalism - overwhelmingly, the site obviously isn't - but I struggle to see how it notably differs from a website like Slate, Daily Kos, Salon, or, on climate change, many conservative websites.
Is there a reason for the suggested lead addition? None of the sources cited seem to justify the broad, significant attention given. KlayCax (talk) 09:00, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- I restored the stable version of the second paragraph of the top from before Nov. 22, because that version better summarized the emphases of independent WP:BESTSOURCES. Per MOS:LEADREL:
"According to the policy on due weight, emphasis given to material should reflect its relative importance to the subject, according to published reliable sources."
KlayCax, if there are as many similar RS descriptions about other publications, the questions could be addressed in those articles. Llll5032 (talk) 06:35, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Steven Crowder Dispute
[edit]Does the dispute with Steven Crowder really need to be so high up on the page? I don't think it should be in the history section and would be more appropriate further down, perhaps in the reception section. AstralNomad (talk) 18:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- "History" chronologies are often the most neutral format for articles about contentious topics, but perhaps the description of the dispute could be shortened per WP:10YT? Llll5032 (talk) 07:11, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Far-right
[edit]Shapiro has been repeatedly referred to as far-right in recent years. I think this deserves mention in the lede.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 17:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS
Fake news
[edit]"Multiple scientific studies have identified The Daily Wire as a fake news website." How many of those five sources explicitly mention The Daily Wire? Only two, unless I'm missing something. We all know it's a conservative website, and even the owners acknowledge that. They're not going promoting the news through a conservative lens while claiming they're objective. Would this ([2]https://www.allsides.com/news-source/daily-wire) be worth a look at? Unknown0124 (talk) 21:35, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I looked at those cites. Grinberg et al (clicking on the pdf of supplementary material) shows what annotators thought of Daily Wire's tweets, which may differ from Daily Wire website for all I know. Anyway, elsewhere I read orange is supposed to mean "where annotators were less certain that the falsehoods stemmed from a systematically flawed process". Allcott et al mentions dailywire.com but explains "G-O represent the black domains, red domains, and orange domains in Grinberg et al. ... GNR represents Guess et al. (2018)." i.e. they're only repeating others. Guess et al (clicking on the pdf of supplementary material) mentions dailywire.com but explains "In the main text, we rely on a list of untrustworthy websites compiled by Grinberg et al. (2019)." Ognanyova et al indeed does not mention Daily Wire in the article, it does point to supplementary data on GitHub but I didn't see Daily Wire there either, maybe I missed a file. Anyway, in the article I read "Fake news exposure was determined based on the browser history of participants. People were considered to be exposed if they had visited any of the sources in a list of domains categorized as fake news by Grinberg and colleagues (2019)." Osmundsen et al does say "Fake Republican: babylonbee.com, dailywire.com, ilovemyfreedom.org, theconser-vativetreehouse.com, iotwreport.com" and I couldn't figure out where they got evidence but it's not from Griberg et al. Therefore I agree that there are really only two cites if we exclude the ones that don't mention Daily Wire or merely repeat Grinberg et al. I'd not have considered them to be due but, well, somebody else did, and two is a multiple. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 23:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Bentkey Ventures & DailyWire
[edit]Hello,
I was reviewing the two articles, and it appears that in the Bentkey Ventures article, the Dailywire is listed as a subsidiary, and in the Dailywire article, Bentkey is listed as the subsidiary. Would be good to get a little clarification there. 2603:8000:3F00:1A42:1A47:CEBD:B09D:C21B (talk) 05:02, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Bentkey Ventures is the parent company of The Daily Wire, and doesn't have a Wikipedia article. Bentkey is also the name of the children's programming on the Daily Wire's streaming video service. Bentkey is a word Jeremy Boreing seems to be fond of, so it gets reused. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 06:16, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Add onto the fact that Daily Wire is politically charged, so that could also be a reason why the Bentkey name was reused instead of DW Kids. Unknown0124 (talk) 15:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
