Crater

[edit ]

In 2020, the International Astronomical Union named a small crater on Mercury after Chuck Berry. https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/15937

The Legacy section is semi-protected so I didn't add this myself but someone should. Jstuby (talk) 16:33, 5 July 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

[edit ]

There is an allegation on this page stating that Chuck Berry videoed himself urinating on women. Three articles are cited as sources; one is from a satirical magazine similar to MAD Magazine and The Onion, the other two make no mention of these allegations whatsoever. There is no evidence to support this claim. 2601:184:497F:8D80:117A:5CA0:832A:4E8 (talk) 08:44, 28 August 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

I agree, it should be removed. --195.99.227.0 (talk) 01:14, 30 November 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

Consenual acts don't belong in the "Physical and Sexual Abuse Allegations" section

[edit ]

In the section titled "Physical and sexual abuse allegations", there's a discussion of videos of Berry urinating on a woman and her defecating on him. These acts are specifically described as presumably consensual in the cited source. They don't belong in a section about abuse allegations. There's no section where they do belong, so I'm deleting that sentence. Izzy Grosof (talk) 04:44, 1 June 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

The archive page is no good so I have reverted this. I would report it if you had some simple way to do so. GA-RT-22 (talk) 09:08, 10 September 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
