Semi-protected edit request on 16 November 2024

[edit ]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The final paragraph of the "Allegations of Conspiracy" subsection within the "Assassination" section discusses the Shabazz family's plans to sue the CIA, FBI, NYPD, and other agencies for their role in Malcolm X's assassination. As of yesterday, 15 November 2024, the lawsuit's filing was announced. Below is my proposed revision of the paragraph.

On Februrary 21st, 2023, the 58th anniversary of Malcolm X's assassination, members of his family announced that they were planning to file a 100ドル million wrongful death lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, NYPD, and others for allegedly concealing evidence related to his death and their alleged involvement in it[1] . On November 15th, 2024, three of Malcolm X's daughters, along with his estate, filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, which claims that the agencies knew of the assassination plot and failed to stop it[2] . During the press conference that announced the filing, Attorney Benjamin Crump, who is representing the family, stated that they have been collecting and discovering evidence for the last three years, including evidence from people "who [have] never spoken before about what they witnessed during... the 1960s"[2] . Motorcat99 (talk) 19:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

"the agencies knew of the assassination plot and failed to stop it" Since when is the CIA obligated to prevent crimes? Per the main article: "the CIA has no law enforcement function and is mainly focused on intelligence gathering overseas". Dimadick (talk) 23:23, 16 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
That is a great point, my apologies for the mistake. I was attempting to summarize the claims made by the Shabazz family, but I should have made sure that the organizations were not being conflated under the umbrella of law enforcement. I'll take down the request shortly. Motorcat99 (talk) 02:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

1930 United States Census return listing

[edit ]

Is there a reason that the 1930 United States Census return listing is significant? Does it solve some sort of dispute about his biography? If it has no particular significance, it should be removed from the article. If it doesn't support the narrative or is not referenced in the body of the article, it has no purpose.

    No personal section

    [edit ]

    Why is there no personal section? Almost every person with an article has a personal section. Even if it’s a sentence long. Wife? Kids? Sexuality? 2601:282:8987:45F0:34E6:DDD2:A713:3BB6 (talk) 02:06, 5 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

    To say almost every biography has a § Personal life or equivalent section is definitely an exaggeration. The example information you've listed is located throughout the article, when applicable (i.e. when given due weight in reliable sources about him). In general, articles are not required to have a particular structure save for some narrow topics as decided by the community. Remsense .. 论 02:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
