will lead to federal recognition of polygamy. Somin says, “ If anything, Section 4 could be criticized for deferring to the states too much. Imagine if Utah or some other state decides to grant legal recognition to polygamous marriages. Section 4 would require the federal government to do the same... Such hypotheticals don't much bother me...Regardless, this slippery slope concern is is not a constitutional federalism problem. It's a matter of policy.” Somin goes out of his way to disclaim this scenario as a hypothetical, slippery slope situation, and including this claim in the intro gives more weight to the claim than Somin does. The only other sources that are even talking about this are a few opinion pieces published by the Washington Examiner, the Heritage Foundation, and 1819 News. It seems like Somin’s analysis is being misused to make an extraordinary claim about something that politicians aren’t even considering.

source material: the various opinions of notable people and experts about this primary source material. The article says almost nothing about the arguments in favour or against it. The details of the procedures, the fact that it was delayed and things like that are not really opinions about the act. So, perhaps polygamy was not central in the discussions in favour and against it, but I cannot tell, because the article is not based on secondary sources (in favour and against it) that provide opinions about the act.

happen, it does not get any media attention. It actually does happen now and then in the state legislature with which I am most familiar (New Jersey), but usually only when there is a "revision" process for a particular area of the statutes and they clean out the unenforceable statutes. Even then, I don't think this is done uniformly. However, I have no real problem with your edit to my edit, I think it still gets the point across that the Respect for Marriage Act probably will not be heard from again.
344: 323: 2076:: My understanding of the situation is that it's very clear to every one that we should not ask the same question for the same material with the same sources again. There are no problematic editors here. There is no need to worry about that. But, "UNDUE" is relative to the weight given to the argument (or point of view) in the article and to the importance given to it in the sources that are known thus far. These things are not frozen and not all possibilities have been discussed. 841:. The last link states there there is "momentum in consensually non-monogamous (CNM) communities — who engage in multiple relationships with the consent of all partners involved — and structurally diverse families across the country to organize locally and pursue legal recognition of their relationships". Nor is this only a community-level issue, since the Massachusetts state's Attorney General issued an opinion in support of the bylaw in Arlington, Massachusetts.-- 2366:
certainly not material for a ban. Assume good faith applies very much here. It's not admins that are needed at this time, but more editors interested in the subject, because this would only help to create more balance. But editors will not come if there are talks of ban without any serious evidence of continuous disruptive edits. This being said, you might see things that I do not see. I am not judging you. I am only responding in terms of what I see.
354: 1573:. I stand by what I said when I started this section yesterday. And there certainly shouldn’t be a whole section just for a legal scholar’s thought experiment, one vague sentence from a book, and a handful of pundits’ slippery slope arguments. There are far more opinion pieces nd news stories about this legislation that don’t mention polygamy, and no one is trying to include those. Why the fixation on including polygamy in this article? 243: 222: 253: 473: 455: 1702:, you can choose to ignore any comments you'd like, which is your prerogative. I'm simply reminding you about the policy on verifiability, which is "The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." You will likely not achieve that consensus if you will not discuss procedural comments, but how you go about building consensus is again your decision. Cheers! -- 1201:, my belief that the discussion of polygamy as it relates to the Respect for Marriage Act is a fringe view, not polygamy in general. I agree with your second sentence: "there is insufficient material to suggest that polygamy legalization is a major political position and directly connected to this US-legislative topic sufficient to warrant inclusion." You put into words what I was trying to convey. -- 483: 2654: 944:
policies have little recognition, at least outside the community. As for Utah legalizing polygamy, it's important to note that Utah constitution bans recognition of polygamous unions. The history of Utah's polygamy legal status is complicated: in 2013 a court struck down parts of Utah's law dealing with polygamous cohabitation, but this was overturned in 2016, re-criminalizing polygamy as a felony
191: 2388:). The material is obviously contentious, was excluded with the RfC, and ONUS has been pointed out multiple times. If the editor is not willing to listen to community consensus or try to gain new consensus before adding back, I think a topic ban would be completely appropriate. I am not the arbiter of those, of course, but I'm happy to open the discussion if the disruptive editing continues. -- 1292:
second is only about the organization of the content. My answer to the first question is if a reference to polygamy is one of the main arguments of a significant group, then neutrality requires that the point of view of this group be included and attributed. I don't know what is the case, because I don't know the subject, but I will continue to follow the discussion.
636:. I added a couple of paragraphs about the Supreme Court decision and put the entire article in the past tense. Some of the pre-existing writing is still a little rough, but that is a project for the future. The article now makes clear that this proposal is a historical artifact that has been overtaken by the Supreme Court decisions on the Defense of Marriage Act. 2581: 629: 793:
facts. There’s a big difference between this legislation’s effect on existent state laws recognizing same-sex and interracial marriage, and a purely hypothetical situation in which Utah legalizes polygamy, which they are currently not trying to do. To put the two claims next to each other in the intro creates a false equivalence.
1135:. The article also mentions the polyamorous domestic partnerships in the communities in Massachusetts. So things have changed since then. I agree that the book alone would not be significant coverage, but think there is enough altogether from the other sources, which I found on google. Several google searches for reference: 2133:
Mmm, I think this is where I leave you, as I am not involved in this discussion, I simply closed the RFC. I would advise caution with the material in the RFC as it was controversial, and there was a consensus that the inclusion was not appropriate. I am sorry if you feel that my comments are creating
2090:
Indeed, there may be other possibilities that weren't discussed. I'm not accusing any editors of problematic behavior. I do think that there's a pretty clear consensus here that the section proposed was "undue weight" due to "quality" and "quantity" of sourcing. You are free to propose an alternative
1882:
If anyone feels inclined to try and get me punished over this RfC, before you go and file a complaint against me, please keep this in mind: At the time I started the RfC I thought of the four accounts or IPs who from their edits and edit summaries were more or less supportive of adding one line about
1852:
The proposed question is simply should the article present the arguments in favour and against the act. It does not mention "section". I would like to add that it's not a rhetorical question. It could be that editors really think that it's not possible to do that, because even sources avoid covering
665:
Good practice though it may be, I am not under the impression that Congress generally bothers to repeal statutes that have been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. I do not pore through the Congressional Record every day, but my guess is that this occurs very rarely, if ever. If it does
2351:, I'm not sure why you are so adamant information on polygamy appears in this article. It was discussed at length in the RfC, and it is completely UNDUE, as many editors have stated above. If the information is added back, I will be requesting a topic ban from this information and article for you. -- 2054:
Yes, in this case, I think the RFC was probably not necessary or helpful, but it was not overly harmful. Just an extra layer of process which could have continued in a freeform discussion. Anyway, the result is clear. You may still continue to discuss the matter, but there's clearly a consensus that
1812:
Not at all. I have been summoned by bot. I have absolutely no interest in pushing one way or another. The new question that I propose shows it, because it does not push one way or another. I am just here to help. I would rather say that it's your comment that raises suspicions about your motivation.
1643:
I need useful content related information based on sources. "I agree with ...", "... until a consensus ..." are political or procedural comments that do not help me. The statement "polygamy legalization is not directly connected to this topic" is content related, but it must be discussed in terms of
1594:
But something does not add up with this article. One would obviously expect a lot of criticisms and arguments against this act, but there is nothing. The section that gives the text is clearly primary source material. Primary source material is fine, but the main content should be based on secondary

I believe the line, which now is in the lede, should be remove. This is speculation from a non-academic source. For now, I added attribution to make clear that it is the opinion of a journalist and not something actually in the text of the law or opinion among the judiciary. But again, it should be
1917:
In hindsight, your question is what the RfC should have been in the first place. This was my first RfC; in the past when I've thought about starting RfCs, I was too afraid that I'd get a complaint filed against me for starting one. Thank you for evaluating my comments, your opinion could help deter

The concern that the bill could require federal recognition of “marriages” of more than two persons is not far-fetched, as at least three cities in Massachusetts have already legally enshrined so-called polyamorous domestic partnerships. By making federal recognition of such relationships automatic

I was summoned by a bot (because I offered to help in RfCs). I don't know much about the subject. I see two different questions: "are the points of view expressed notorious and pertinent?" and "should there be a section for these points of view". The first question is more important in my view. The

problem. That is, the bill would still be constitutional in the event that it legalized polygamy. The weight of the legalization issue to constitutionality is not the same as the weight of the legalization issue to the wikipedia article, or in bill/Act as a whole. So this is an issue of equivalence
1356:
This is exactly the kind of analysis that must be done. I wait to see if someone can find notable persons that you have not found, then that's it: if there is no notable person or a representative of a notable group expressing the view of the group in a reliable source, then it has no place in WP.
710:
from a decade ago, "polygamy" and derivations are used nine times, mostly by one of the expert witnesses, and also by one of the Representatives. So there is some awareness among the legislators that DOMA relates to polygamy, and that it is not implausible that a bill repealing the DOMA would also
690:
I think the line in the intro about Ilya Somin’s analysis that this law could lead to federal recognition of polygamy should be removed. If you read his piece, its very apparent that he’s using a hypothetical to illustrate the broadness of the law’s language. He isn’t actually saying that this law
610:
Should this article be placed in past tense with a historical note? Because Obergefell v. Hodges ruled that same-sex marriage was a constitutional right, DOMA was effectively annulled, and therefore ROMA became moot as a way to supersede DOMA. The most recent event described in this article was in
2326:
Also, the recent content satisfies Fringe, because I have been unable to find any reliable sources on either side of the political spectrum which say that the text of the bill forbids marriages of three or more people. The opposing view to Gallagher's parsing of the text isn't that the bill can't
1902:
I have no idea what reasons people could have to file a complaint about you. I feel you contributed to the RfC in a very nice manner. I don't think I will take the lead on any thing here either, simply because I do not know the subject enough. In fact, maybe the question that I mentioned (without

is on editors wanting to add information to the article to gain consensus about topics before making changes. Right now, at least with this RfC, the consensus seems to be there is not agreement for a polygamy section. My comment is stating just what it says: I agree with the IP with reverting the

I was trying to trace who exactly was producing the show, and it was the only mention I could find for it on wikipedia. It incidentally discussed Real America's Voice in distinction to the other media outlet, so I linked to the part of the article discussing the difference. Why are you editing my
1778:
There is an almost unanimous, if not unanimous, agreement that there should not be a section focusing on polygamy. I don't think it's useful to continue to collect mere votes on that issue. If the author of the RfC agrees, I propose that he closes the RfC without creating a new one immediately.
1341:
I also looked for supporters citing polygamy or polyamory, and found one non-notable person. Also there was a vague statement from a Representative from Utah. (All four Representatives from Utah voted for it.) He worded his statement in a way that was ambiguous about whether he was talking about
792:
When Utah legalizes polygamy and it’s federally recognized under this legislation, then it should go in the introduction. Until then, it’s just one legal scholar’s opinion on what a purely hypothetical situation might look like. He’s predicting how a hypothetical might turn, but he’s not stating

The lead states that a "strong majority" of Americans are in favor of same-sex marriage. However the polling data provided later in the article has hovered around 60% for the past few years. This is not and should not be interpreted as a significant majority. It's a definite majority but hardly

We do not have enough evidence here to ban anyone. What I see is that Epiphyllumlover is willing to discuss and that he took into account what was said. He seems not to be aware of all rules, such as the rule that the lead should be a summary of content in the body of the article, but that is

I don't think anyone needs to be concerned about a complaint or improper conduct. An RFC is not improper. You are entitled to bring an RFC that fails (to a point), though now that you understand the issues better and the present consensus of editors, try to learn from that. It is OK to learn by
2332:
In response to "significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article", I am willing to move it to a new section for "Mike Gallagher comments", "Congressional comments and responses", "Support and opposition", or something else that might be

You speak to me as if I was an editor interested in pushing a view in the article, but my concern here is only to make sure that there is no attitude that discourages discussions in this PdD. We should not warn editors regarding a specific rule in advance, because there are so many rules, some

Dominic Mayers, if you want to start a new discussion on a broader topic, you have my support in doing so, but I don't see myself starting a new discussion at the moment. I don't see myself taking such an assertive lead in the hypothetical new discussion as I did in the RfC, but I would try to

I prefer to speak of the expected effect of the RfC on the discussion rather than to speak of the expected effect of the past discussion on the RfC. The expected effect of the RfC is, of course, to add more ingredients to the discussion, some times, even to help restart a stuck discussion by
2006:
yes, this is also what I wrote in one of my comments above. My question was about whether you imply by that that the discussion stops when the RfC starts. I am pretty sure that you did not mean that and you might wonder why I would think that, but I like when these things are said explicitly.
1829:
Regarding the latter suggestion, it's much too broad. Sections which are just "for" and "against" are usually better avoided, but of course we include various perspectives of advocates and critics. There wouldn't really be any disagreement on that -- it's just a matter of which ones, based on
2134:
a bad feeling or muddying the waters as that is not my intention. The point of FRINGE might have to do with amplifying a perspective that actually isn't held by many people or reflected in many sources. I'll leave it up to the involved editors to decide if that is useful advice. Best wishes.
1609:
I would be okay with swapping out the section on polygamy with a section that covers all of the support/opposition to the bill, with a roughly equal word count for each side's arguments/arguers. Polygamy/polyamory would be part of it, but not most of it. Earlier today, I made a step in that
2152:
I am not that much involved in the discussion. Yes, I participated, but did not take position. It might only be that we have the same purpose, making sure that things go well, but focused on different aspects. In my case, my concern was that a good discussion can happen if needed without
1878:
I hadn't seen this until now. Looks like it is already closed, which I do not contest. I'm pretty sure this article will be less controversial after the Senate has decided on it. Maybe then would be a better opportunity to work on this article. Less controversy means more time writing it.
1628:
I agreee with 2603 reverting that addition. I'm not sure why you are intent on adding polygamist information when it seems to be polygamy legalization is not directly connected to this topic. I don't think you should be adding it back until a consensus has been reached in this discussion.

that he has made to several articles related (directly or indirectly) to polygamy in the US. The editor is implying through his edits and tone something on the lines of "look, polygamy is being legalized in the US!!!". This is based on Utah which has "decriminalized" polygamy (not exactly

It would still be good practice for the legislative branch to remove unenforceable statutory provisions, thus RFMA is not entirely historical. Ih slightly reworded the paragraph to that end. I guess we can see again in the next Congress whether it will be re-introduced then.

When I said "Removing that now", I was talking about the mention of Real America's Voice on the unrelated page sourced to PRN Newswire, not your response. Editing other editors' responses is not acceptable on WP, and I did not do that here. Sorry I was not clearer on that.

After the recent addition espousing fringe commentary on the subject, however, I'm seeing where administrator action may be needed (perhaps a topic ban?). What are other editor's thoughts? -- 2315:, citing a legislator parsing the text of legislation is not that. Also, Gallagher specifically rejected slippery slope concerns; he doesn't believe in the slippery slope concerns like some conservatives do. Instead of slippery slope, he was looking at 1779:
Instead, he should close the RfC and simply ask the question in the PdD "Should the arguments in favour and against the act be presented and why not?" The point is that we do not do a RfC before a significant discussion has already started in the PdD.
