Hi, thank you for the work that you do!! I mostly signed on to support the mission and edit if I felt like it. What is the easiest way to get started with editing something? --Fab299 (talk)18:02, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The lead section forUnited States Immigration and Customs Enforcement is repetitive and disorganized. It starts off with a general introduction statement immediately followed by current events and criticisms explained in a choppy fashion. The subsequent paragraphs go right back to general information and administrative layout. Finally, the last paragraph jumps back to current events and criticism. The prose is unnatural and redundant.
My rewrite consolidated these topics in a logical flow. I don't appreciate nor understand your rollback comment about "POV-pushing," especially since 90% of my edit was syntactical. Additionally, as part of this edit, I moved the entire controversy paragraph upwards, and within in it added a redirect and corresponding citation regarding ICE's flimsy relationship with the judicial system. Judging by your edit statements and user page, these are two things you should've welcomed, which is why I'm confused about your reaction.
As for the paramilitary characterization: Ido believe both media and academic dialogue regarding this topic must be included in the lead. Ido not believe it should be the very first thing mentioned, let alone mentionedtwice. The definition of what constitutes a paramilitary in the eyes of legal scholars lies at a higher threshold than what is currently being met. Personally, I believe that ICE is a dangerous arm of a growing authoritarian government. I find it entirely possible that as the situation deteriorates, opinions of legal experts will eventually converge on the description you're promoting. As it stands now, however, I believe its singular mention in the controversy paragraph gives it the appropriate amount of weight in the context of the current legal debate.
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding amonth longBacklog Drive in December! The goal of this drive is toreduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.
@Freedoxm I will discuss when you can actually cite me a guideline or policy that at leastcould be interpreted to support your position. Until then, you're just making stuff up and I'm under no requirement to be forced to discuss with you.MOS:LEADIMAGE is the pertinent guideline. It does not mention official portraits. The official portrait is very low resolution compared to most other available images and at an odd angle that makes the subject less recognizeable. I have no idea why you mentionedWP:QUALITY in your edit summary, since it's irrelevant, butMOS:IMAGEQUALITY most certainly applies to all articles!Cremastra (talk·contribs)00:09, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
