False and evidence-free claims of fraud should be described as such

After Marquardtika's series of edits, the article misleads readers into thinking it's contested whether the 2020 elections were fraudulent or not. There is zero evidence of large-scale fraud in Nevada's 2020 election and the article should communicate that clearly to readers. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 21:42, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What content in the current article would cause readers to think the 2020 elections were fraudulent? It say the people claiming fraud didn't provide evidence of any fraud occurring. Marquardtika (talk) 02:08, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After your edits, the article no longer clearly states that Laxalt's claims were evidence-free but instead includes a mealy-mouthed attributed statement by the Las Vegas Review-Journal that it was not provided with information to "verify or debunk their fraud claims". This frames the fraud claims as a soft dispute between the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the authoritarian liars, and makes it appear as if the authoritarian liars might have information that substantiates the fraud. The lies in question should be stated as false and evidence-free in Wikipedia's voice. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 03:54, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Look, let's engage on the substance here. Calling the article subject an "authoritarian liar" isn't exactly a way to recommend yourself as an impartial editor on the topic. What specific content and sourcing do you think is missing from the article? Marquardtika (talk) 13:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add a reference to Laxalt's opposition to DADT repeal in 2010. It is important to assess his will to defend lgbt people rights. Adam Laxalt opposed the repeal of DADT in a National Review article.

Would someone add that he was the recipient of a campaign donation from a Russian oligarch tied to the Lev Parnas case?

This page variously says he has either two children (in the personal life section) or three (in the summary at the top right). In fact, according to his campaign web site, he and his wife have four kids: https://www.adamlaxalt.com/about-adam -- MK Mark S. Krikorian (talk) 21:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've added the information with a citation from USA Today. Thanks for pointing this out! ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:13, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Military service

Article should describe Judge Advocate General as an officer or lawyer because it is military term easily confused with the military rank of general, and JAG officer is more common use and easier to understand. Also His political ads use the word “I fought for you” which misleads public into thinking he is a combat experienced infantry officer. 2600:8801:1108:3700:515:7576:4054:AF9 (talk) 04:24, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After Trump lost the 2020 election and refused to concede, Trump and Laxalt made false claims of large-scale fraud in Nevada's election and sought to overturn the election results.

'false' needs to be removed from the above sentence because it's just an opinion without proper sources and citations. For every citation you can provide, more can be provided to the contrary. It has been very well established that some election fraud and irregularities took place during the 2020 elections. 43.228.95.33 (talk) 21:26, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: If you have citations that support the existence of large scale voter fraud, I very much doubt they meet WP:RS, but feel free to provide them here and reopen the request at that time Cannolis (talk) 21:33, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
