Business insider is a Pulitzer Prize winning website. It says that Sarah Palin Probably Staged A Gigantic Hoax About Being Trig's Mother.

Why the wiki page on Sarah Palin wouldn't say a single word about this ?

Semi-protected edit request on 22 April 2025

{{edit semi-protected|Sarah Palin|answered=y}}

Current language:

She also opposes abortion, including in cases of rape, incest, and embryonic stem cell research, but supports it if the mother's life is in jeopardy. She supports parental consent as a requirement for female minors seeking an abortion.

Proposed language:

She opposes abortion, unless the mother's life is in jeopardy, and also opposes embryonic stem cell research. She supports parental consent as a requirement for minors seeking an abortion.

Reason for proposed change: current wording is confusing, implying that embryonic stem cell research is a reason to seek an abortion. 2601:6C1:102:D9E0:77E9:DC9F:907A:4361 (talk) 22:25, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{done}} Agreed that the previous wording was confusing. I didn't adopt your exact suggestion, but I think I cleared up the ambiguity. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 18:11, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Seems to have been some sort of error

Can someone fix the page? 2804:18:150:3B07:F4F8:EA2:8507:D375 (talk) 19:37, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Current language:Ryan Rudominer, a spokesman for the House Democratic campaign operation, called her involvement in various U.S. House campaigns a "great thing across the board".{{cite news|last=Davis|first=Susan|url=https://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748704575304575296822527981224.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100731044945/http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB%3ASB10001424052748704575304575296822527981224.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 31, 2010|title=Measuring the Impact of a Nod From Palin|work=The Wall Street Journal|date=June 10, 2010|access-date=August 15, 2010}}

Proposed language: After multiple Palin-endorsed candidates lost in house races, a spokesman for the House Democratic campaign operation, Ryan Rudominer, called her involvement a "great thing across the board".{{cite news|last=Davis|first=Susan|url=https://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748704575304575296822527981224.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100731044945/http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB%3ASB10001424052748704575304575296822527981224.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 31, 2010|title=Measuring the Impact of a Nod From Palin|work=The Wall Street Journal|date=June 10, 2010|access-date=August 15, 2010}}

Reason: Without context the statement could be interpreted as endorsement of Palin which it isn't (before checking the source I thought that he might be referring to her trying to get more women elected). Therefore the edit is needed for accuracy and NPOV.

Source: The context is drawn from the same source as the original sentence. 94.31.113.186 (talk) 09:49, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
