The main article calls it an "attack" on the Capitol. Is that really accurate or mere rhetoric aimed at baling political hay for Democrats? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 15:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi again. Thanks so much to S0091 for implementing my edits above. I would also like to request a few additional edits that also add updated information, and remove outdated information. I really appreciate your help.

1. In the Career section, in the subheading called "2009 to Present" please replace "Since 2016 he has served as co-CEO", which is incorrect, with "He became co-CEO in 2017,^[1]
2. In the section called "Trusteeship & Philanthropy", please remove the Trilateral Commission, Carnegie Mellon University, and Rare from the list of his memberships/trusteeships. He is no longer a member or trustee of those institutions.
3. In the Personal life section, Dina Powell is still an executive at Goldman Sachs, so please remove "a former".
4. In the Personal life section, please change the last sentence; it should read as follows: They have six children between them and reside in Connecticut.^[2]

McCormick says he has six children (daughters), but the Wikipedia article says he only four children. So which is it? Why the descrepancy? 173.79.45.183 (talk) 22:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's on his second marriage, so I would venture he has some biological children and some step children. This press release supports that, but doesn't say how many bio and how many step. I can't find a reliable source for any of this. Marquardtika (talk) 20:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

McCormick won, stop being election deniers Hthompson2000 (talk) 16:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTFORUM. If you wish to have the article reflect this view, please find and add reliable secondary sources to say so. Or alternatively, wait a little while until these become plentiful as the election is actually declared or conceded. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 17:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly every newspaper in the state of Pennsylvania is recognizing McCormick’s win over Casey. The race is over. Naterybner (talk) 00:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There’s an expected recount, it hasn’t been called. 2604:3D09:982:A200:F81D:96DA:DD10:29A2 (talk) 08:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing in the subject “Political Positions.” Easeltine (talk) 07:00, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, we seriously have to reach a consensus on this. I think it’s pretty clear McCormick won the race. Yes, there is the argument about news calls but certainly the senate believed that the results were decisive enough to have him at senate orientation. There also appears that there just aren’t enough ballots for Casey to win at this point Dancingtudorqueen (talk) 22:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:CRYSTAL BALL and existing practice, we do not make these calls ourselves. If there weren't enough ballots to change the results, then every other news network would've called the race. There is no harm in waiting. {{U.S. current election editnotice}} makes this abundantly clear, and should be added to this page and Bob Casey, Jr., just like it's been added to the PA Election and 2024 Senate Elections pages. CC: @Elli. AG202 (talk) 22:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It's fine to mention "X has called the race for McCormick, while Y hasn't" but we should not call a race before all the major organizations do. Personally, I doubt Casey makes up the gap, but there could be something these networks know that we don't... there is no rush here, and it'd be much worse to get it wrong than to get it right slightly later.

(Also to be clear, I'm not going to take any admin actions in this regard because it's reasonable to consider me involved. But please, just wait a bit.) Elli (talk | contribs) 22:53, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Where can I request additional action for this article; I do not want to keep edit warring over it. AG202 (talk) 23:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we have a reliable source that says 'he's not formally the Senator-Elect, but the results were decisive enough to have him at senate orientation', then we can include that, attributed as necessary. What we can't do is just elide that to 'he won, get over it, LOL'. That's be WP:OR (and more besides). 109.255.211.6 (talk) 08:50, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
