Should we go with "Gaige Grosskreutz" or "Paul Prediger"

[edit]

Grosskreutz changed his name to "Paul Prediger" after the trial. The article only says "Paul Prediger" in the intro and in a footnote mentioning he changed his name. It uses "Grosskreutz" everywhere else, which reads in a pretty confusing way. I say go with "Grosskreutz" throughout the article - he was Grosskreutz at the time and everyone who remembers the trial knows him as "Gaige Grosskreutz" and only mention the name change in some kind of aftermath section.

His new name should be protected and stricken from this record. He was victimized enough. This project should not engage in doxing innocent victims. ExpertPrime (talk) 03:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Victim? He attempted to execute Rittenhouse with his handgun. 78.136.162.214 (talk) 12:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We should use Grosskreutz throughout the article, for the reasons you state. His new name isn't relevant to this event, and especially since he has stated that he changed it to avoid harassment, WP:BLP provisions apply. — Goszei (talk) 05:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Rosenbaum - Registered Sex Offender - Pre-trial Rulings

[edit]

The fact that Joseph Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender, and the fact that the judge ruled that this was irrelevant to the case and therefore could not be brought up by the defense was recently removed from the "Kyle Rittenhouse-Pretrial Rulings" section. I am concerned that it was not appropriate to remove this pre-trial ruling, as it may negatively effect the neutral point of view of the article. The other pre-trial rulings that benefitted Kyle Rittenhouse (not allowing the deceased to be called "victims"/not allowing to mention the proud boy meeting) were left in. Removing a pre-trial ruling that benefits the prosecution and leaving in the pre-trial rulings that benefit the defense inaccurately paints a picture that the Judge only made pre-trial rulings that benefitted the defense. 2603:7080:402:D900:E04D:710B:17D6:C13C (talk) 17:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Riots not "unrest"

[edit]

Looting and burning throughout the city. And Kyle acted in self defense, in every instance. FBI drone footage shows all events leading up to him defending his life. 96.252.120.13 (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
