Hometown of Oakland, CA
Senator Harris has stated (via her presidential campaign) that her hometown is Oakland, California. This article states that she lived in Berkeley before moving to Montreal. Do we know if and when she lived in Oakland? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.114.147.135 (talk) 23:54, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
And again
Found the text had been altered, apparently again since these notes show a history, to include references to Harris' crusade against "the epidemic of child prositution in the city" [fiction]. Also removed several phrases which, as others have pointed out, seemed to have come from a staffer or political campaign ad.
-- J. Cornelius 02:13, 26 July 2006 (PST)
Cegep?
The article notes that she graduated from Westmount High, and then went to University in the USA. However, as Quebec high schools end at Grade 11 (Secondary 5), one normally goes to CEGEP [college) for 2 years if attending university. Those leaving the province normally attend at least 1 year of CEGEP to have the equivalent of Grade 12. Presumably then, there's likely something missing in this article between high school and university? Nfitz (talk) 18:29, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Apparently she returned to the States after HS. Here's a profile of her in a Montreal newspaper, with interviews of her childhood friends. [1] -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 14:22, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Something is still missing then I'd think - with Westmount High School ending at Grade 11, wouldn't she have had to do Grade 12 then somewhere else, if she left the province after Grade 11? Nfitz (talk) 03:11, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. Universities have their own admission standards that are not codified in law. If Howard decided to accept her immediately after Westmount, that's their choice. We can't assume there was another school unless someone can come up with that in a reliable source. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 15:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Of course not. I'm not suggesting adding even a comma. I'm just seeing a gap and pondering the implication, and perhaps where to look for further information. It's a long way from there to an edit! Yes - could have gone directly in theory, but having done PSBGM and Cegep in Montreal myself before leaving after about 1.5 years to do first year university outside the province, I know that's an unusual route. Both doing Grade 12 (and back then even 13) elsewhere, or not playing with a full DEC were more common. Or even getting a DEC and then entering first year university elsewhere. (aside - a DCS - I've never even heard that acronym before among Anglos). Nfitz (talk) 01:42, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- It's not frequent but not rare for American universities to admit students with less than 4 years of high school, especially if high school is outside of the country. I'm familiar with numerous cases just in the university where I once served on the admissions committee. Most sources really don't consider it notable where she finished high school for someone with a law degree, so I doubt you'll find any confirmation that she attended school anywhere between Westmount and Howard. In fact, it is unsourced in the article that she attended Westmount. Since the article is semi-protected I can't tag it. Someone should do so. If no one is willing to source it over the next few weeks I think it should be deleted. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 02:04, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- She did finish high school at Westmount as far as I understand. Quebec high school is five years (equivalent of Grades 7 through 11). Then one does 2 years of college if going on to university, or three years if doing a trade or technical degree (similar to what one would do in a community college after Grade 12 in most of the rest of the nation). Looks like someone has already added that easy-to-find reference. Nothing else to add at this time. Nfitz (talk) 04:03, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- Couldn't find anything beyond her 1981 graduation from high school when she was 16. Added a second more recent reference confirming this, and tidied some text. Not sure defining Westmount as "suburb" really defines it well - particularly as the school is in lower Westmount near downtown (and surrounded on 3 sides by the city of Montreal); they literally tunnelled the subway under the high school between Atwater station and Lionel-Groulx station while she was a student - both of which are considered downtown Montreal stations. But hard to pinpoint better word. Nfitz (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Israel?
The article needs to include a discussion of her positions on Israel and the issues relating to the Israel - Palestinian conflict. ---Dagme (talk) 02:22, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, I think it is important to note that she is supportive of a two-state solution, supported the Iran nuclear deal, and co-sponsored a Senate resolution in early 2017 that essentially rebuked the Obama administration for allowing through a U.S. Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s settlement policies.[1] Not sure where this would fit in the article at the moment. It could be an important issue during her presidential campaign. Bluewolverine123 (talk) 14:43, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
"Tenure as California Attorney General" redux
Now that Harris has declared for president, I feel it is the proper time to move this discussion.
The section on "Tenure as California Attorney General" is far too much detail for this article. I count about 2000 words (over 12KB of readable prose) in that section. If all of the material is notable, it should be spun-off to a different article. If the material is unimportant, it should simply be removed from this article. I expect some of these news stories are promoted by her political supporters, and others by her political opponents. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:59, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, the section should be trimmed or spun-off. One suggestion for trimming is to remove the Supreme Court speculation and the U.S. Attorney General speculation. Neither appointment ever materialized. Maybe one sentence, at most, could cover that she was considered for appointments in the Obama administration but nothing came of it. Knope7 (talk) 03:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, it needs to be trimmed significantly.- MrX 🖋 13:27, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with Knope7 that the Supreme Court and US AG speculation could be reduced to a single sentence, since neither materialized. -sche (talk) 18:48, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- I've boldly trimmed it. The sentence about how Obama nominated Lynch to replace Holder was particularly irrelevant to an article about Harris. -sche (talk) 18:58, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- I'm so glad to see so many editors weigh in. I'll add that I'm getting rid of the paragraph on the Daniel Larsen case (he convicted under the 3 strikes law, a judge later declared him innocent, but he remained in prison pending state's appeal). The final straw for me was that the paragraph said Harris ordered his release and the source cited didn't mention Harris at all. I'll leave a link Los Angeles Times editorial here as it does mention Harris.[2] At most, this case could be a sentence, but I don't think it warrants that. Knope7 (talk) 02:49, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
Lead section
Just the opposite of the body, I feel the lead section deserves a sentence on Harris's tenure as California AG, perhaps briefly mentioning her most noteworthy accomplishments. Just a drive-by observation. R2 (bleep) 19:07, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Agreed. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 04:24, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
The disambiguation page links Daniel Larsen to this page but Larsen is not mentioned. I don't see a discussion about removing a reference to Larsen. EdEveridge (talk) 20:28, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- I explained why I removed the Daniel Larsen on this page. It's just a couple of paragraphs up. The case maybe significant and may merit mention somewhere on Wikipedia, but as written it was a stretch to include it in an article about Harris' life. Knope7 (talk) 00:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Knope7, it's been readded. I reverted the addition, and another account (that had been inactive for almost three years) reverted me. So that I don't violate 1RR, I can't take it back out. I do agree that it's just one case and doesn't merit inclusion here. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:12, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank's for pointing out it's been added again. In an abundance of caution, I am not removing it now at the moment. I think we need to open some sort of dispute resolution on this, although I'm not quite sure what method is most appropriate. Knope7 (talk) 03:32, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Knope7, WP:RFC? (Thanks to Drmies for removing it.) – Muboshgu (talk) 03:43, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- I find it bothersome when editors who haven't been here in years come by and without so much as a by your leave create problems in a 1R article. Very bothersome. And the previous revert was also by someone who hadn't been active in the area at all and couldn't be arsed to discuss on the talk page. Drmies (talk) 03:46, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Criticism Section
I am in the process of drafting a criticism section as the issues relating to Kamala Harris have not been highlighted. If someone could proofread this and make sure it is neutral that would be greatly appreciated. Any imput is welcome.
Harris has been met with opposition by some members of the African American community, including singer K. Michelle,[2] on account of her criminal justice record. In particular, her actions concerning police brutality against minorities under her tenure as Attorney General of California are of concern.[3] In 2015, Harris opposed a bill requiring the Attorney General's office to investigate officer-involved shootings. She then objected to enforcing California law regulating the use of body cameras by law enforcement. These moves were criticized by many left-leaning reformers, including Democratic state senators, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and a San Franciscan elected public defender.[4] Civil rights activist Phelicia Jones went on to condemn Harris stating:
"How many more people need to die before she steps in?"[5]
Harris also has a history of ostensible misconduct in alleged wrongful conviction cases.[6] In 1999, George Gage, a former electrician with no prior criminal record, was convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter based on a testimony given by the stepdaughter. Later, the judge ruled that the prosecutor had unlawfully held back potentially exculpatory evidence, including medical reports indicating that the stepdaughter had repeatedly lied to law enforcement. She was even described as being a “pathological liar” who “lives her lies” by her mother.[7] When the case reached the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco in 2015, Harris’s deputy prosecutors continued to support the conviction on account of Gage having not properly raised the legal issue in the lower court, as the law required. Gage is currently imprisoned serving a seventy year sentence.[8] Harris also pushed to uphold the sentence of Daniel Larsen for possession of a concealed weapon, in spite of the presence of compelling evidence of his innocence and that his public defender was supposedly incompetent.[9] Larsen’s conviction was unsuccessfully upheld on account of a technicality that Larsen had failed to raise the issues in a timely manner.[10] Additionally, there was the case Kevin Cooper, an inmate on death row whose legal proceedings were alleged to have been influenced by racism and corruption. Cooper sought advanced DNA testing in his defense, which was denied by Harris until an exposé by The New York Times on the case caught national attention.[11] Also, there was the case of Johnny Baca, who had been convicted of murder until judges ruled a prosecutor presented a false testimony at the trial. Despite the revelations with his conviction, Harris supported it initially, reversing her course after a video of an oral argument in the prosecutor’s office received national attention.[12][13] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed.

- Read WP:CRITS. Such sections attract excess. Your edit is a prime example. The article is not a WP:SOAPBOX for opinions, sourced or unsourced. Two editors have now objected to your edits. Don't create a separate section of criticism, and get consensus for your edits in this article. Also note that this article is under discretionary sanctions and is limited to one revert per every 24 hours. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 22:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- MrX is right: for US Senator pages (but not only), "criticism" does not have its own section (but is added among relevant biographical content). Ed. Jishnu, you can have a look at the List of members of the United States Senate. From there, you should be able to easily check the Wiki-pages of other US senators and see how such content is presented. Mcrt007 (talk) 07:37, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Campaign Finance
Kamala Harris has a complicated history with campaign finance, and it is one sided to only have "she rejects most corporate donations" but leave out Trump and Mnuchin donating to her campaign and that she met with prominent Democratic donors in the summer of 2017. I would like this included in an impartial way so readers do not think "She is a corrupt corporate pawn" or "she hates corporate America". Capriaf January 30, 2019 15:39 UTC
Corporate PAC money is not the only means that corporations use to donate to politicians. Kamala has only disavowed corporate PAC money, not all corporate money. She still has corporate donations. WarnerMedia is one of Kamala's top donors, so the notion she rejects most or all corporate donations is wrong. I would like it to be more than a vague one sentence remark, however, each time I edit it, it gets taken down. Capriaf February 18, 2019 21:07 UTC
- The text that you are edit-warring into the article (despite notifications of the 1RR rule and DS)[4] is a sloppy piece of WP:SYNTH that attempts to show that Harris is lying about her pledge not to accept most corporate donations in her 2020 campaign or that there is something wrong about her past in terms of campaign finance: (1) "Prior to running for president, Harris had a complicated history with donations" is your WP:OR and it suggests wrong-doing. (2) The text misleadingly suggests that she's lying about corporate donations by (a) conflating what she did in 2017 with her declaration in 2018/2019 not to accept most corporate donations and (b) suggesting that meeting with Democratic Party donors is a violation or complication of her pledge. (3) An op-ed in the Washington Examiner is not a WP:RS. (4) That two of the Trumps donated to the 2014 Harris campaign is WP:UNDUE. Furthermore, there's nothing on Ivanaka donating. That's unsourced. (5) That HuffPo piece is a contributor op-ed (not a RS). (6) The sentence "Her biggest donor in 2018 was WarnerMedia" suggests that the company itself donated to Harris, which is not what the source shows. The source clearly states, "The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families." Furthermore, editors should not be digging through primary sources such as OpenSecrets to add random donations of unclear relevance. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:20, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Snooganssnoogans the article specifically said she had a complicated history. I also wrote that it was prior to her run for President. It’s not misleading and it is objectively true. Dismissing her past comes off as favoritism for a candidate. I have see. Such comments on Hillary Clinton’s and Cory Booker’s Wikipedia article. It is disingenuous to completely dismiss her record. I am making a good faith effort and am getting frustrated that it’s getting deleted rather than revised to better comply. Stop. Being a jerk about it. It should include her record not a mere pledge she said. Primary sources are the best because it is more objective which is what Wikipedia wants to be. WarnerMedia owns CNN, which gave her a town hall but has not given other candidates such. It is genuine to put there. I also specifically included an edit that she rejects Super PACs. I am presenting the facts neutrally. If you have a problem, I encourage you to make edits to better comply rather than a mere deletion which omits her record. Capriaf
- "Primary sources are the best because it is more objective which is what Wikipedia wants to be. WarnerMedia owns CNN, which gave her a town hall but has not given other candidates such. It is genuine to put there." This exemplifies the problem: you stitching together primary sources, op-eds and unrelated factoids to suggest various acts of wrong-doing, including what you now suggest is a conspiracy theory of CNN and Harris working in cahoots somehow. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:00, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Snooganssnoogans, I did not suggest acts of wrong doing. Stating her her record is objective and the people should know her whole record. Steve Mnuchin donating to her campaign is on his page. I did not suggest CNN and Harris are colliding together. At most it would suggest CNN has an interest in Harris. That’s it. Also, I cited her donors, which proves she has a MIXED record. It is mixed, not negative or positive. I mentioned her opposition and rejection of Super PACs which may be considered more negative than simple corporate PAC money. Her record is MIXED and you are only having a part of it, which can be seen as making it more biased, which Wikipedia opposes. So please cut the accusations. I’m trying to make it fair in good faith. If you have issues, it is preferable to make a revision rather than a deletion. Her record is mixed and we need to address that. It’s not bias, it’s called objectivity. Capriaf
- <Rolls eyes>. Yeah, right. Even if we bought what you're selling, the whole "no original research" policy means you shouldn't be doing. --Calton | Talk 17:03, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Calton if you think what I’m doing is wrong, feel free to revise to better comply. I welcome that but deletion is frustrating. We should strive to better inform everyone. Leaving out her mixed record recklessly is not acceptable. When every other politicians have explanations of their mixed record, it stays up. For instance, Hillary Clinton, once opposed policies like DACA but campaigned to keep it. It is on her page. So why not have Kamala’s mixed record on campaign finance? Capriaf

I've removed the second paragraph entirely, as (despite careful wording) it implies some shadowy connection between certain donations and investigations. This is deeply troubling to me. This material should not be restored in any form unless/until a consensus is formed here for inclusion. Be mindful of the discretionary sanctions in operation on this article before attempting to restore it. -- Scjessey (talk) 18:37, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- I appreciate such critique. You kept the Hampton meeting which arguably more important. As that one sentence remained, I am happy to let further discussion occur. I do believe her past record on campaign finance should be I. There and further explained, but I’ll wait for the consensus to see how such proceedings shall occur. Capriaf
Willie Brown
The article notes that Kamala Harris dated noted California politician Willie Brown in the 1990s. I added the fact that Brown was married at the time, which was almost immediately reverted by someone who claimed it to be "irrelevant". A glance at the WP articles of other politicians finds that this matter is not "irrelevant". One may choose not to care about such things. But "irrelevant" would be if we included the color shoes she was wearing when she announced her campaign for president. (And yet I dare say that if she wore green shoes that day, it would nonetheless have earned a mention.) <BLP redacted> Shall we go around scrubbing all mentions of such things in every WP article? Because such mentions are everywhere, and not just in the case of politicians. Vcuttolo (talk) 08:38, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- But "irrelevant" would be if we included the color shoes she was wearing when she announced her campaign for president.
- You know, it's possible for multiple things that have nothing to do with each other to be irrelevant. Crazy, I know.
- Now, did you have any other reason than "because I said so" to argue for relevancy -- or your BLP-violating characterization of said edit? Remember, BLP policy applies EVERYWHERE on Wikipedia. --Calton | Talk 09:03, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

- @Scjessey: It's is not remotely a violation of policy to include it, and it is about both Harris and Brown.

- The problem we need to watch out for is the subtext. I assume good faith and I am not going to guess the motives of individual editors. I do think we need to be aware that this will be a loaded topic because it is reminiscent of common digs at successful women. I would rather mention the relationship with Brown be in personal life, as who she dated was part of her personal life. I think a slightly fuller explanation of the situation, if done in a way that includes Harris' response to the relationship, could be acceptable. I also think expanding personal life in general could also help with balance and context. Knope7 (talk) 03:51, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

I also think that we should not include this - it is not particularly relevant to Harris. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 09:19, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- I do think it is relevant that she dated Willie Brown; it wasn't a secret in any way, and Brown was a major influence on her political career. The characterization of him as "married" without any elaboration is the problem, and appears as (even if it isn't) an attempt to criticize or even smear Harris and/or Brown. How should we phrase it? He indeed was married; all reports are that he and his wife separated somewhere between 1976 and 1981, and that they've maintained an amicable relationship ever since, especially as they headed toward their 80s. So this was not a "cheating on his wife" scenario; this was a "married in name only" scenario. To refer to him simply as "married" is inappropriate. You could say "married, but separated for at least a decade". Or something like that. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 16:02, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- Unlike other editors here who are tiptoeing around this issue, I think the "married" part, as it was originally written in the article, is an attempt to make a thinly veiled suggestion that she is a "loose woman". I don't say that from any political point of view. It would be true regardless of where she is on the political spectrum. The Brown relationship was nothing like the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky relationship, or Donald Trump-Stormy Daniels. Those could be considered seriously scandalous. Since Brown had been long estranged from his wife, I think it's best to leave out his marital status altogether. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 16:59, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- Having twice reverted the Brown "while married" comment as irrelevant, I agree with Scjessey, Knope7, jpgordon, and IP 183 that including the statement is conspicuous misogyny and political sexism having the intent to portray Harris with early-life loose behavior; it does not succeed with people looking at Harris' personal life with non-partisan eyes. The original source by Brown himself here made no issue ("so what?"), and the Vox ref used presently here gives balance to the personal and political interactions of mid-1990s San Francisco politics between a mayor 10+ years estranged from his wife and a rising star attorney. --Zefr (talk) 18:11, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- The Vox source looks useful, particularly because it gives some quotes from Harris that can help with balance. I would support adding one of those quotes to the article. I think one option for the way to deal with the "married" debate is to put that in a footnote along with the explanation that he had been separated from his wife for 10 years before the relationship. The possible advantage to addressing the issue that he was married is this: if allows curious readers to get the information in a fair and accurate way without putting too much of a spotlight on it. I see some value in readers being able to find a fair version of what happened here, rather than only reading about it on fringe websites that are unconcerned with accuracy.

Ethnicity, race and religion
Based on what I have seen, she was clearly raised as a Black in Berkeley by her mother, however she acknowldges the Indian roots of her mother. Clearly multi-racial: African and European from her Jamaican father, and Indian ("Aryan" and "Dravidian") Tamil Brahmin Iyer from her mother, both scholars of some distinction. Raised mainly a Baptist, she did visit Hindu temples as a child, and is married to a Jewish person.Malaiya (talk) 02:33, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Affluent suburb
I modified the statement that Harris graduated from Westmount High School in "the Westmount suburb" to add the adjective "affluent." Scjessey reverted my edited with the comment, "why is that biographically relevant?"[9] The type of neighbourhood one grows up in is of course relevant to their biography, just as is their parentage and education. If Harris had lived in Beverly Hills or the Hamptons, it might not be necessary to describe them. But why mention Westmount at all if it has no meaning to readers? TFD (talk) 17:58, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- The subject of the article is Harris, not the suburb of Westmount. If people want to know about the suburb, they can read about it at its own article. It was probably not your intention, but it could be seen as a roundabout way of saying Harris was privileged in some way, which we don't have a source for. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:33, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- Her mother was a prominent scientist who taught at university while her father was a university professor. Those are generally considered middle class occupations. And why mention Westmount at all? TFD (talk) 22:07, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- I really don't see how that is relevant. Perhaps we need a third opinion? -- Scjessey (talk) 13:38, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- Westmount is linked in the Harris article, as are several other locations where she spent time. I agree that this article is about Harris, not those locations. We don't need such additional descriptors here, whether for Westmount or other locations such as Howard University or the University of California. Interested readers can find them by clicking the links. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 18:27, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- Soeaking of Howard University, the source used says, "As an undergraduate, Harris attended Howard University, an historically black institution in the nation's capital." (Donna Owens, NBC, "Meet Kamala Harris, the Second Black Woman Elected to the U.S. Senate".)

Removal of Danial Larsen...
I recently heard about the controversy surrounding Daniel Larsen and Kamala Harris, as California attorney general, fighting in the appeals courts to keep him incarcerated.
I Googled to get more information about this, and one of the first results which came up was the Daniel Larsen disambiguation page, which, in turn, linked to a section of this article: Kamala Harris#Daniel Larsen case.
When I clicked that link though, I found that not only was that section no longer present, but the Daniel Larsen case wasn't even mentioned in the article at all!
Now I won't speculate as to what the intentions may have been of whatever person, or people, decided to remove this information, but, if nothing else, this certainly creates at least the impression of a coverup - i.e. that one or more editors here are biased and are therefore trying to sanitize Kamala's article to remove an embarrassing controversy.
...Again, I'm not saying this is necessarily the case, but that's certainly the impression one gets!
Furthermore, I would argue that this content should be included because it's already a controversy for her candidacy in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, and it's only likely to become even more of an issue as the primary campaign revs up.
Kamala has branded herself as a "progressive," and as an African American woman who's an ally of the Black Lives Matter movement and the cause of criminal justice reform, so the fact that she battled in the appeals courts to keep an innocent man locked up is certainly significant.
Now, to be clear, Wikipedia should absolutely cover this issue in as neutral and NPOV of a way as possible, and include any relevant statements from both Harris and her campaign and from her critics...In fact that's why I came looking here in the first place - to try to find a more objective and non-biased analysis of this case. I heard about it from an activist opposed to Kamala, and wanted to see both sides of the story and if any relevant info had been omitted from the activist's account.
I also understand the issue of "undue weight," and not wanting to see a giant section here at this article which get into all of the nuances of the case. So I'd be totally fine with it being spun off as a separate article about the case and the controversy surrounding it. But it should at least be mentioned on this page, with a link to that article then. -2003:CA:873C:91F6:A8F9:F2A5:3AFB:2CDF (talk) 17:45, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- Don't people get tired of shouting "cover up! censorship!" every time they can't find something in the place in which they wished they'd find it? Personally, I think Wikipedia is censoring my beautiful collection of Pinewood Derby cars; it doesn't have a redirect.

I don't think the same can be said for your "derby cars." Again, this is a notable controversy for her candidacy, and you haven't articulated a good reason for its exclusion from the article. Like my original comment noted, I'm not wanting to speculate about any editor's motives, but this conspicuous absence certainly creates the impression of bias. -2003:CA:873C:91F6:A8F9:F2A5:3AFB:2CDF (talk) 17:59, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Articles I've read on Daniel Larsen's case (like this one or this one) mention Harris in passing rather than in any depth (notwithstanding the NYT opinion piece, which is an opinion piece). This was one case among the many that she served on and it doesn't merit an entire section on her bio page. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:01, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

- @Muboshgu - Again, it's a controversy for her campaign, so naturally people with various POVs will be giving their opinions about it. Wikipedia strives for NPOV, which means that it should report notable opinions and commentary about a candidate - from critics, supporters, the candidate and their campaign, etc. - but not assert a POV of its own. So again, that's my position. Include relevant info from older articles about the case itself, and also more recent notable commentary from major publications like NYT, The Intercept, Reason, and National Review, about this case as it relates directly to Kamala. It's clear to me though that you're determined to not see such info included, so I won't comment more at this time, but will wait for others to weigh in, maybe starting an RFC process in the coming days if someone else doesn't do that. -2003:CA:873C:91F6:A8F9:F2A5:3AFB:2CDF (talk) 18:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

We have WP:NODEADLINE here and can readd it if it does turn out to be a major campaign story down the road. You can start an RfC if you like. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:27, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

- If someone wants to propose more appropriate language for re-adding Larsen to this article, by all means, make a proposal here on the talk page. The previous language was a violation of WP:undue. It referred to Harris twice: one of those mentions was actually about her office (not clear she was actually involved in the office's decision) and the second said Harris ordered his release, which did not reflect the source material (the judge ordered release). What we had was a long paragraph explaining the case with no clear connection to Harris herself. I actually think the Larsen case might merit its own article, although I'm not sure. It would also have to make it clear who took what actions rather than assigning all actions by the state of California to Harris personally. Knope7 (talk) 18:29, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Descended from slave owners
Her father admitted her family was slave owners, "My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town)". That seems like something that should be mentioned in the article, because she's made it an issue, as she believes in reparations for slavery, and claims to be descended from Africans. Since I don't know how to comply with all the rules of writing an entry, I wanted to put it here, for other editors to put it in the right tone/format, and so I could learn from that. https://www.jamaicaglobalonline.com/kamala-harris-jamaican-heritage/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.231.146.147 (talk) 02:25, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- It is not reliably sourced. Mr. Harris is not a genealogist. It also fails weight, since it has received no coverage in secondary sources.

Semi-protected edit request on 2 March 2019
"Since becoming a Senator, Harris has supported Medicare-for-all, legalization of recreational marijuana, sanctuary cities, passing a DREAM Act, and lowering taxes for the working and middle classes while raising taxes on corporations and the wealthiest top 1% of Americans."
By opening the paragraph with "Since becoming a Senator", readers are provided with a deceptive half-truth. No context is provided regarding her recent past actions/stances as a District Attorney. For example, she was against recreational marijuana (even laughed at a journalist when asked about her support in the past), and as District Attorney for San Francisco she supported hostile immigration policies which empowered ICE. Though these positions may be apart of her platform now as a Senator/Presidential candidate, her history suggests that her adoption of these positions are motivated by political convenience.
The paragraph should either be removed or rephrased to not be a half-truth, and at the very least should have citations/sources. These pages shouldn't act as marketing extensions for one's campaign/supporters, they should act as objective/neutral sources of information. Leave news outlets to provide their biases, not encyclopedias. Throwaway743 (talk) 01:11, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
