> Invoking September 11 conspiracy theories, he asked whether "federal agents were on the planes" that hit the Twin Towers during the September 11 attacks.
should be replaced with:
> Invoking September 11 conspiracy theories, Vivek has called for an investigation into how many federal agents were on the planes of the September 11 attacks; however, he said that he "has no reason to think it was anything other than zero".
===============
[edit]At the absolute minimum, the current sentence should be replaced with:
> Invoking September 11 conspiracy theories, Vivek has called for an investigation into how many federal agents were on the planes of the September 11 attacks.
Explanation: Vivek didn't just "ask whether federal agents were on the planes", so the current summarization of the article doesn't make any sense. The corrected sentence is a very clear, precise, and equally concise representation of what Vivek actually said. Vivek's explicit request is that an investigation is done and the number is revealed.
However, leaving it like this is still technically misleading, as it has a strong possibility of making the reader incorrectly think that Vivek's personal belief is that federal agents were indeed on the plane, when that is not his belief. By being a bit less concise, and including a quote, we prevent this issue.

- I'm sympathetic. The cited Guardian story quotes him as saying
I think it is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers ... Maybe the answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know, right? I have no reason to think it was anything other than zero."
So he didn't "ask" and he didn't only mention "federal agents" and he thinks maybe|probably|um none. But in that bit he isn't invoking conspiracy theories either and I believe there's some style note that we don't refer solely by first name, so I'd suggest:Ramaswamy believes it would be legitimate to say how many police or federal agents were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers during the September 11 attacks, though he suggests the answer "probably is zero for all I know, right?"
Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC) - I agree the current statement is problematic, in part for reasons @Peter Gulutzan noted above. The spat over did-he-or-didn't-he one time suggest federal agents were on planes seems unimportant, it hasn't carried forward in the campaign for the presidency. That one-off spat was the source of the sentence in this article.
- Regardless of that one-off incident, Ramaswamy does repeatedly raise the idea of conspiracies. For example from a debate in early December:
The government lied to us for 20 years about Saudi Arabia’s involvement in 9/11
. So maybe shorten it to say that Ramaswamy invokes conspiracy theories around the September 11 incident and add a reference to what I just quoted. -- M.boli (talk) 16:28, 15 January 2024 (UTC)- The mystery surrounding what the Saudi's knew before that attack isn't really conspiracy theory territory. [1][2] Are their sources where he's jumped to a conclusion on that topic? Nemov (talk) 16:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Add the following under Activism:
Activist investor Vivek Ramaswamy has acquired a 7.7% stake in Buzzfeed, making him the fourth-largest shareholder.[1] Ramaswamy aims to shift the media company's direction by encouraging political diversity and suggesting high-profile hires like Tucker Carlson and Bill Maher.[2] His investment strategy emphasizes moving away from "woke" politics and potentially adopting a more balanced editorial stance.[3] This shift could significantly alter Buzzfeed's content and editorial approach, aiming for a broader political spectrum and possibly attracting a more diverse audience.[4]
I have used very good RS' for the above and wrote in a NPOV.

Partly done; the article already had a sentence regarding his stake under a different section, so putting it there instead. Also, the Washington Post and AP sources are exactly the same, with the AP source not verifying the sentence it's sourcing, so not adding that. The rest is good, though.

Why is this article extended protected?
[edit]I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing so this is a genuine question, also forgive me if I'm doing this wrong with how I'm creating the talk page question, but why does this article have extended protection? Ramaswamy isn't that notable of a politician compared to someone like J.D. Vance, where their extended protection was turned back into semi-protection, despite being a much more notable politician and larger figurehead for the republican party, so why is extended protection necessary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Partey Lover (talk • contribs) 22:56, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
