== Language Section ==

I'm a bit confused when this article starts talking about Buttigieg's language ability. It starts by saying this:

"Buttigieg taught himself to speak a measure of Norwegian and has some knowledge of Spanish, Italian, Maltese, Arabic, Dari, and French in addition to his native English, though his level of fluency in those languages is unclear."

That sentence makes total sense. But then, I saw this line following it:

"leading commentators such as Michael Erard and Jay Caspian Kang to question whether Buttigieg is using a combination of mythology and superficial mastery to appear proficient."

I skimmed the articles referenced at this line, and one thing that Michael Erard said that stood out me was:

"None of this is meant to cast doubt on or give credence to Buttigieg’s actual language abilities."

Both of these articles aren't really questioning Buttigieg's language ability, but rather using it to start a larger discussion. Erard talks about how vague it is to say someone "speaks" a certain language, and Kang talks about identity politics and how we are focusing too much on his credentials. So, then that begs the question, **is this sentence really necessary?** I mean, just by proof of interviews and videos, we know he at least speaks (to a certain extent) Spanish, French, Arabic, Italian and Norwegian. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxtvXaRe2lg) He even says in that video that he isn't fluent in all these languages.

I think the best course of action would be to remove this sentence. Thoughts? ] (]) 03:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
:I agree. This is not an article about his language skills.- ]] 🖋 11:35, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

::As someone who actually knows all of those languages (other than Norwegian) to a measurable degree of proficiency, I agree with removing the sentence entirely. Some of the languages he clearly does speak to some extent; others it's obvious that he's memorized no more than a few words or a badly composed sentence (which he can't reproduce without errors). If that counts as "speaking a language" then most US politicians will need a line in their Misplaced Pages page about how they "speak" Spanish because they've uttered a few Spanish words on the campaign trail. In any case we don't need to argue about how one defines "speaking" a language non-fluently, but I think we can agree that someone having memorized a few phrases of a language is decidedly non-notable. ] (]) 01:43, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

==Iowa Standard==
I have removed an out of scope sentence which is also from a questionable source. The age difference between Buttigieg and his husband doesn't seem to be all that relevant. Further, the "reporter" is linked to ], which is certainly not in favor of her credibility, the article uses ] for the word "husband" and a quick perusal of The Iowa Standard's fb page indicates they are anything but credible. Finally, is such an isolated question relevant for a BLP? I think not. https://theiowastandard.com/buttigiegs-husband-doesnt-say-if-love-has-an-age/ Buttigieg’s ‘husband’ doesn’t say if love has an age], '']'] (]) 11:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

== Semi-protected edit request on 16 December 2023 ==
== Promotional language ==


{{edit semi-protected|Pete Buttigieg|answered=yes}}
Buttigieg's military service is noted extensively elsewhere in the biography. The effort to place "combat veteran" language at the very top of the biography is promotional for a political candidate and not consistent with other pages (such as Seth Moulton, who spent over 8 years on active duty). While Buttigieg's military service is a minor component of his resume, it is being leveraged to promote this campaign, and Misplaced Pages is an inappropriate place to do so.
Please change the word "Anticipated" to "Anticipate" in the last sentence of the second to last paragraph of the "Secretary of Transportation" section. The sentence should read, "In March 2023, Buttigieg appeared on CNN, telling the cable news network that he had failed to anticipate the fallout from the derailment and erred in not visiting East Palestine sooner." ] (]) 18:15, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

: Thanks for raising this issue. Regardless of whether or not it is "promotional", I agree that "combat veteran" does not belong in the first line of the lead. Buttigieg is primarily notable for being a politician, not for serving in the military; his military career constitutes just one paragraph of the article. See ]: {{tq|As in the body of the article itself, the emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources}}.

:: {{re|MrX}} I've yet to see any specific arguments for the inclusion of the text "combat veteran" in the first line of the lead that are based on Misplaced Pages policy or guidelines. Do you have any? So far all I've seen is "I disagree that it's promotional" and "Career always goes here per Wiki standard", neither of which are very compelling arguments (the first doesn't connect to any policy/guidelines, just the editor's personal opinion, and thus boils down to ]; the latter is an indefensible invocation of ]—it's not at all standard across articles for a politician's military service to be frontloaded in this way, and leads do not need to exhaustively list every career a person has ever held, or else the lead would also include "consultant", "intern", etc.). I've made the point above that the text is misplaced per ] and would welcome a substantive response. We can only reach consensus if editors are willing to engage in discussion. — ] 👻 (]) 01:43, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
:::He served as an officer in the military for 8 of his 37 years, including seeing combat duty. This has been the subject of significant coverage. There are more than twice as many news search results for "pete buttigieg"+"war veteran" than for "pete buttigieg"+"McKinsey". Per ] the lead should include (among other things) "The noteworthy position(s) the person held, activities they took part in, or roles they played;" His combat experience easily qualifies as noteworthy based on 6400+ mentions in the news.- ]] 🖋 02:19, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
:::: The text we're discussing is "combat veteran", not "war veteran"; I'm not sure why you searched for "war veteran" instead. You may also want to have a look at ]: {{tq|Raw "hit" (search result) count is a very crude measure of importance. Some unimportant subjects have many "hits", some notable ones have few or none, for reasons discussed further down this page}}. Comparing the number of hits for one phrase vs. another is not a reliable way to judge relative notability.
:::: Questionable methods aside, something being "noteworthy" does not mean it belongs in the first line of the lead, let alone ''ahead of the primary reasons the subject is notable''. Buttigieg is primarily notable for being a politician; any mentions of his combat experience (or his work at McKinsey) are made in the context of his run for president and/or his mayoralty, and his role in the military is already detailed in the very next paragraph of the lead. The current emphasis it is receiving is undue. Have a look at the page for ], who also has noteworthy combat experience but is also primarily known for being a politician. Her military service is given ample coverage, but it comes after her political role and it is not implied to be the reason that she is notable.

Listening to him introduce himself , I'm actually having trouble figuring out the first vowel. It isn't /u/ as in "boot" but it also doesn't sound to me quite like /ʊ/ as in "put", but I guess that's what it is. In a respelling sort of phonetic representation "boot" won't work because it'll imply a long "oo". Let's see if this bit of Unicode magic works to represent a short "oo": "bo&#x35d;ot-uh-jedge". ] (]) 16:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Moreover, I copied references directly from the Pete Buttigieg article. I apologize if this (or anything else in my template) was not the appropriate procedure. Thank you for your suggestions!

Improved to Good Article status by AndrewPeterT (talk). Self-nominated at 01:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC).

  • – @AndrewPeterT – New enough (promoted GA on October 5, 2021) and long enough (38765 characters). Sources and neutrality all seem fine. The main hooks implies that Buttigieg is fluent in 8 languages (really exceptional), but the article says that he has "some knowledge" of those languages. None of the sources say that he is "fluent". I'd really avoid it to be on the main page, as it is unclear. Rest, the hooks are withing character limit; neutrality and WP:BLP appears all right. Every hook is interesting, but my preference is for ALT 4. I have un-linked almost everything except a few things, as rest appears to be overlinking. Let me know if you disagree. The hooks appear in the article, and are cited. The picture is very clear, and licenced properly. And QPQ is not required as you have less than 5 nominations, but feel free to do them. I leave the inclusion of "(pictured)" on the promoter, as we are currently in trial period. Almost good to go. Just some clarification needed. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
  • @Kavyansh.Singh: Thank you for your review of my DYK nomination and the clarification on the QPQ policy. I am glad to see that my hooks already meet most of the requirements. Regarding the main hook, I have rewritten the sentence to state that Secretary Buttigieg has knowledge of eight languages. This wording is more similar to the text in the actual article. Also, I have changed rival to competitor in my ALT 4 hook as suggested. I do not have any objections to you removing most of my article links. I had included them just in case readers did not know and/or wanted more information about those topics. Finally, I am fine with my ALT 4 hook being on the main page instead of my main hook. Please let me know if you have any more questions and/or comments. Hurricane Andrew (444) 20:21, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Please change the word "Anticipated" to "Anticipate" in the last sentence of the second to last paragraph of the "Secretary of Transportation" section. The sentence should read, "In March 2023, Buttigieg appeared on CNN, telling the cable news network that he had failed to anticipate the fallout from the derailment and erred in not visiting East Palestine sooner."

Edit request

I propose the entire section, beginning with "Before Buttigieg took office, Jiha'd Vasquez, a 16-year-old black boy, was found hanging from an electrical tower" and enmding with "In 2019, Jones and St. Joseph County coroner Mike McGann argued that the case should be reopened; however, sheriff William Redman said he would not consider reopening the case unless further evidence came to light" can be deleted. This large section references an event that took place before Buttigieg was mayor, and serves no real purpose.Jrwsaranac (talk) 23:51, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

pronunciation is wrong

same as title, it's Boot-Edge-Edge not Boot-ah-judge 216.222.181.150 (talk) 15:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I have no doubt that he pronounces the second syllable as an unstressed link between the first and third, certainly not representable by "Edge-Edge" as though they had the same weight. Listening to him introduce himself here, I'm actually having trouble figuring out the first vowel. It isn't /u/ as in "boot" but it also doesn't sound to me quite like /ʊ/ as in "put", but I guess that's what it is. In a respelling sort of phonetic representation "boot" won't work because it'll imply a long "oo". Let's see if this bit of Unicode magic works to represent a short "oo": "bo͝ot-uh-jedge".
