No citations in the introduction section

The first citations only start to appear in Early Life. Some of this may stretch into common knowledge but a lot is about more recent events and their current status. Floydtron (talk) 12:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Generally, lead sections don't have citations as they are a summation of the body of the article, and the citations should be found there. We usually only see citations in the lead if there have been disagreements with the content. Early Life is the first section of the body of the article so it makes sense that it is the first section with a citation. --Kyohyi (talk) 13:28, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Kyle's parents' careers

Kyle grew up in a working class family. His father Michael is a machine operator and his mother Wendy is a nurse's aide. His parents are divorced. Worth noting on his bio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:CC4:20F0:3C58:75EE:91B0:6F39 (talk) 02:04, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

It's also worth pointing to a reliable source, to be cited with inclusion of the parents' info. —ADavidB 15:43, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

“ In late August 2020, 17-year-old Rittenhouse traveled from Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to help protect local businesses.”

I’m sorry but this is bullshit. It’s complete speculation that he was there “to protect loca businesses” like this entry says. In my opinion that is absolutely not why he was there at all. That part of the article should be deleted asap. 2601:5CF:4180:C:9D44:7FAD:762F:BE91 (talk) 20:22, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: The statement is cited to here and here - not 'complete speculation'. Instead of your opinion, are there reliable sources that dispute this..? FifthFive (talk) 20:32, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
