Image of Krista Ford

In this edit another contributor removed the fair use image of Ms Ford, asserting in their edit summary "nonfree image used as nonspecific illustration in BLP".

I did supply a fair use rationale, the final sentence of which says: "I believe the article is improved if readers can form their own opinion on her appearance." Ford's father and uncle are both morbidly obese. Her uncle weighs over 350 pounds. That Ms Ford is trim and fit is thus surprising, and, I believe, merits employing this fair use image.

Relevance of "whore" comments

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/dress-a-whore-lingerie-football-player-women-concerned-sexual-assault-krista-ford-niece-toronto-mayor-fire-comments-suggesting-sexual-assault-victims-bring-crime-provocative-attire-article-1.1148024?localLinksEnabled=false

My intuition is that it is not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.118.241.49 (talk • contribs)

In the sense that this was the first time Ms. Ford has been featured in the news internationally, as opposed to just in Toronto publications, I would say "yes, it is important." -- Zanimum (talk) 19:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

User:174.118.241.49 comment mystifies me. The wikipedia notability of an individual is determined by adding up the notability of coverage in reliable verifiable authoritative sources.

• If a single third party published an unsubstantiated claim Ms Ford made these (embarrassing) comments there would an argument for not covering them.
• If many third parties published unsubstantiated claims Ms Ford made these comments I don't believe there would any policy based arguments for not covering them.
• However, that NY Daily News is not making an unsubstantiated claim, as there is no doubt Ms Ford did make the comments.
• WP:UNDUE weight does apply, but I don't believe the article's coverage of the comment has been give undue weight.
• The comment would merit coverage on the wikipedia no matter who made it. Given that we already had an article on Ms Ford I don't believe there is any question the comment should be covered in the article on Ms Ford. Geo Swan (talk) 21:38, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Jewish heritage

Krista's father, Doug Ford, Jr. has publicly stated that his wife (Krista's mother) is Jewish, through matrilineal inheritance. His campaign mamnager clarified that Karla Ford's maternal grandparents were Orthodox Jews. That would make Krista Jewsih as well, so I have added two appropriate categories. JSousa87 (talk) 19:25, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Her mother wasn't Jewish. See this. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 01:49, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Krista Haynes

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Krista Haynes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto6":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:55, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Blog.to is not a reliable source

nor are several other of the panic-striken tabloid sources. I'll clean up my destruction on my laptop in an hour or two. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:27, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Curious as I've never seen a conversation on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources about it. CaffeinAddict (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Regardless - I've gone ahead and replaced all BlogTO sources. CaffeinAddict (talk) 03:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

While I can't locate a discussion, I've had it brought up numerous times in Good article nominations that it is a loose opinion paper / click bait. Regardless, the new sources are better (though Narcity reeks of the same biased "Torontonians are pissed off about... [insert anything]"). However, the labeling as a conspiracy theorist based on an opposition to vaccine mandates is farfetched and requires a better reference that distinctly states it. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 06:32, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Narcity is not a great source. Most of Haynes' antics are interestingly underreported by the mainstream media currently, despite the media's clear distain for her father. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, so I'm not going to push anymore information until there are more reliable sources. CaffeinAddict (talk) 06:52, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

blogTO is owned by the media company, ZoomerMedia. It has an editorial board led by Lauren O'Neil, who has a master's degree in journalism from Western and was a reporter and producer at the CBC. It easily passes, Newspaper and magazine blogs since it contains articles written by professional journalists subject to editorial oversight.[1] It's a good source for marginally notable people who attract mostly local interest. If you like, I can take it to RSN. TFD (talk) 21:37, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Conspiracy realist

Page should be editable, as the term "obstinacy theorist" can now be put to rest. You are misleading readers with false information by claiming that what she has said in the past has not come true. The proper term should be "realist" 50.65.141.47 (talk) 15:23, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Nobody should be described in the first line as a 'conspiracy theorist'. It is not her profession, nor is it what she is primarily notable for. This is leftist cry-bullying rearing its ugly head on a supposedly unbiased resource under the pretext of her going against some undebatable, universal truths. That isn't scientific, and it isn't civil. --95.145.108.204 (talk) 16:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
