According to the text in the PERSONAL LIFE section,

He also identifies as a pro-choice feminist and a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ rights, and Palestine.

Clicking on the link to CM Punk's statement reveals the following statement:

"I wish we would stop genocide, you know."

The answer was about the upcoming US presidential election. Firstly, for example, if someone doesn't support war, it doesn't mean they support either side. So, if they said these words, it doesn't mean they support Palestine. Can't someone who doesn't like Palestine say "stop what's happening in Gaza?" It's about accuracy. Secondly, the link refers to an Instagram video, in which CM Punk appears very amused after saying "I wish we would stop genocide, you know." Is this a reliable link? 79.186.18.99 (talk) 16:10, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lemonademan22: I've searched through the archives and this "consensus" you you assert does not, in fact, exist. To the contrary, multiple other editors including yourself have agreed that MOS:CURRENT/WP:CURRENTLY should be applied consistently. Furthermore, you are the only editor, based on my look through the page history, to have added the less-concise "as of" wording. Please stop adding it unless you actually get a consensus to do so.

In this case, the information you are trying to convey, which is when X wrestler's contract began, is irrelevant trivia and not time dependent so as to warrant the {{as of}} tag. The lead is meant to summarize the key points of the entire article. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" _(hihi) 23:29, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus discussion was here, from two years ago. I believe most professional wrestling biographies now use "As of", so this concern would affect many more articles than this. Prefall 23:36, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like that discussion is based on a misinterpretation of the wording For current and future events, use phrases such as as of (bolding mine). I have no issues with bringing this up to a place with a higher WP:CONLEVEL such as Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Words to watch or WP:Village Pump and having this discussion at one of those venues. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" _(hihi) 23:58, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the issue:

The community consensus answered such an issue, though temp accounts and inexperienced editors whom aren't accustomed to either Wikipedia standards or PW MOS standards remove it without knowing of the consensus.

But if you wish to go higher, that's your prerogative if you believe it will overall improve Wikipedia. Lemonademan22 (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Add Night Patrol (2026) to the list of films that Brooks has starred in on the top of the page. ~2026-18749-50 (talk) 04:05, 26 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

CM Punk is also a supporter of Glasgow Celtic Fc. DerryPele (talk) 20:13, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of his dog Larry? It was well known by fans. BinaryBrainBug (talk) 16:54, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Only Larrys mentioned are Larry Larry Zbyszko and Larry D. Yes, we should include it in the personal life. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:09, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
