Repeated removal of information
77.22.168.12, this source explicitly says that "Carr has made it clear that he wants the FCC to punish news broadcasters that he perceives as being unfair to Trump or Republicans in general". You allege a violation of NPOV. Could you care to elaborate? BootsED (talk) 23:17, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Actually, another used removed it (I didn't understand why, either). See diff link - 77.22.168.12 (talk) 23:18, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Brendan Carr (lawyer) → Brendan Carr – Previous pagemove was reverted. Lawyer is undoubtedly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC with respect to long-term significance (chair of the FCC), mentions in news/independent reliable sources, as well as pageviews (note that the pageviews of the main "Brendan Carr" article in the last month were also about the lawyer). Hatnotes are sufficient to disambiguate the other subjects with the same name. Wikipedical (talk) 21:33, 23 May 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

I will be reviewing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 21:19, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Good article nominator is the top contributor in authorship. There appear to be no copyright violations or plagiarism. There are no ongoing edit wars. Images are appropriate for the article and have tags for public domain or Creative Commons licenses in Wikimedia Commons. Article appears to present viewpoints neutrally and attribute opinions. Therefore, the following criteria are met so far. Spelling and grammar appear correct. The article is broad in coverage. Therefore, the following criteria are met so far.

- it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

- media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions
- Well-written
- A review about verifiability will be forthcoming. Z. Patterson (talk) 21:41, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
- @ElijahPepe: All of the sources in the references are reliable. I have some points to address.
- I see no mention of the Columbus School of Law in the cited source for this sentence. Beizer advised Carr to attend the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law and earn a telecommunications certificate. Are you able to find a source that specifically mentions this school?
- Can you find a different source to support this sentence? I do not see it in the source it cites. As early as 2020, Carr was believed to be a possible successor to chairman Ajit Pai.
- I do not see the term "Orwellian" in this source: Lima-Strong, Cristiano (October 10, 2022). "PayPal faces backlash after floating fines for sharing misinformation". The Washington Post. Retrieved July 31, 2025. Can you find a different source that mentions "Orwellian" or paraphrase or summarize what you see?
- If you make these three changes, I will pass the article. I am impressed at the quality of the article now. I will give you seven days to address these. Z. Patterson (talk) 04:58, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Z. Patterson: On the first point, the source says, "Beizer took Carr under his wing, advising him to attend law school at nearby Catholic University of America and to enroll in the school’s telecom certificate program." On the second, the source says, "The GOP calls got rhetorical support Wednesday night from FCC member Brendan Carr, a Republican who some see as a potential future chairman of the agency." On the third, that claim is cited to a tweet embedded in the page in which Carr says "Orwellian". elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 05:11, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
- @ElijahPepe: I understand now. Thank you. The article also meets these criteria.
- Verifiable with no original research
- it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline
- reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)
- it contains no original research
- it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism
- Verifiable with no original research
- I am passing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 11:46, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
