I thought the donation to A Act Blue was made by someone with the same name, but in his 60s. Wasn’t that information falsely reported in the early days?2601:8C0:C88:AAD0:C08F:FF3:A46:36FF (talk)04:19, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This synopsis incorrectly lists Crooks political affiliation as Democratic. In fact, Crooks was a registered Republican2601:1C2:801:10A0:E54F:601C:3F0F:65B (talk)13:51, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this article pay its respects to the man killed by this shooter? The victim was 50 year old Corey D. Comperatore of Sarver, PA.2600:4808:A331:8D01:11B:6190:CCDE:C052 (talk)17:39, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Gab account possibly belonging to Crooks should be mentioned in the article, especially considering it was mentioned by Abbate, and the article already describes a different social media account possibly belonging to Crooks which was also brought to light by Abbate.
Here is aTIME article mentioning this Gab account. (TIME is considered reliable underWikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources.)
https://time.com/6998557/thomas-matthew-crooks-trump-rally-shooter-fbi-motive
This quote from that TIME article is relevant to what I'm talking about.
"Abbate also said the FBI is verifying a Gab account supposedly linked to Crooks but with “differing points of view” from the other account. Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab, a platform popular among the far-right, said on X that the account associated with Crooks was “unequivocally” in favor of President Biden."Star VV Cephei A (talk)02:57, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a"change X to Y" format and provide areliable source if appropriate. If you would like content to be added to the article, please provide the exact text of your proposed addition.Day Creature (talk)16:45, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]Ronny Jackson's claim that his nephew was injured by gunfire is something that has only been claimed and supported by himself, no official report has detailed his nephew as a victim in the attack. Unless there's official word about a 4th person injured via gunfire, I think we should probably remove mention of Ronny Jackson's nephew (if not from the whole article, at least from the infobox).TheFellaVB (talk)14:27, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
