Gulf War service

edit

Although Landry served in the National Guard during the Gulf War era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served in the war zone during the war. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of the Gulf War was removed from the article for now until a reliable ref is found. Semper Fi!

Permitless carry

edit

Landry signed legislation abolishing Louisiana's permit requirement for the concealed carrying of firearms. The straightforward, accurate way to describe this is "legislation allowing the carrying of concealed weapons without a permit." I have reverted an edit that describes this as "constitutional carry" legislation. This is a slanted phrase used by supporters of such legislation (i.e., the gun-rights movement). Its use implies that permit requirements are unconstitutional (which is a contested claim). The best sources avoid it. See, e.g.:

The second source is not about the law mentioned in this article. It should be noted that several other reliable sources refer to the passed legislation as a constitutional carry law:
"Constitutional carry" itself does not appear to be a "slanted phrase" as it states on the Constitutional carry page:
"The phrase 'constitutional carry' reflects the fact that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not allow restrictions on gun rights, including the right to carry or bear arms."
Given that different sources refer to the law in different ways (constitutional carry, permitless carry, concealed carry) when linking the relevant page it would make sense to link the article using its official name (It should also be noted with that page there seems to have been a clear consensus that "Constitutional carry" is an appropriate title for the article).

It's not an "official name"; its what supporters have dubbed the bill. The local TV stations seems like a notch lower in quality than the Associated Press, too. We should simply describe what the bill does, not use a phrase that intrinsically expresses a contested opinion about constitutional law. Neutralitytalk 17:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is the official name of the article. The local press publications linked above are still reliable sources and their use of the phrase must be considered. We should link the constitutional carry article using the article's official name. As stated in the previous entry, using "constitutional carry" is not an example of a slanted or biased phrase.

  • That's basically just ipse dixit on your part. We use the best sources, of the highest quality, not some cherry-picked random TV station. Neutralitytalk 01:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    We take all reliable sources into account when what terminology to use. The links listed in my earlier comment are reliable sources, and when dealing with legislation which only applies to one state, it should be expected that many of the articles about the legislation are from local press publications. We should not cherry pick by only using national sources which use a preferred name and rejecting other reliable sources. BlueShirtz (talk) 02:21, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • The sources clearly establish that one "side" in an ongoing debate prefers a specific phrase, which expresses an opinion. Others, including the highest-quality sources, do not use that phrase. I'm not sure how much more plainly I can put it; perhaps some additional editors will weigh in. Neutralitytalk 22:12, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    The AP article in your previous comment refers to the legislation as "permitless concealed carry." The two sources I provided, one being a local NPR News broadcaster and the other a CBS affiliate refer to the legislation as "constitutional carry." If it were only articles from a source such as Fox News which used the term I would understand why "constitutional carry" would not be used, but its pretty clear that several names are used by reliable sources. "Constitutional carry" does not seem to suggest a political opinion, as mentioned in the earlier comment where I quoted the relevant article on the subject. I do not understand why when linking to the relevant article its official name cannot be used, even though several reliable sources use that title when referring to the law.

Official Portrait

edit

Governor Landry's office just uploaded his official portrait for Governor of Louisiana to be used by all state offices and media. Is there a way we can update the picture on his wiki page by replacing the current photo with his official portrait. I have it linked below
