I'm not entirely sure who did it or why, but it seems like someone seriously did some cutting to the article and left out all stuff referencing his white separatism and affiliation with the Christian Identity movement, which is not only present in all the sources but seems to have been agreed upon previously as something worth including in the article. I'm not really sure what the consensus was on how much of that stuff should be included, so I just added in the old paragraph about the family's beliefs, which were a big part of why the incident happened and are certainly relevant enough to be included on his page. If there has been some shift in general consensus that it is not worth including, it'd be great if that discussion could happen. Sir Charms a Lot (talk) 06:29, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure who did it- you merely have to look at the edit history to know the answer to that. ButlerBlog (talk) 11:39, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Limited close paraphrasing is also appropriate if there are only a limited number of ways to say the same thing, which is the case here (WP:LIMITED). If you're concerned about it, copyedit rather than removing it. If it were egregious, removal would be appropriate, but this is a statement of fact in which case it's appropriate to leave it in.

I know a similar discussion has already been made. However, Weaver openly admitted to believing in the "separation of the races". Would this not qualify him as a White Separatist? He was nowhere near as extreme as others, but he still held similar views. Weaver also adhered to Christian Identity esque views, which tend to advocate white separatism. I am bringing this up because the "white separatist" label has been removed. Could someone explain this? 2601:CF:4500:ACF0:DCC6:6E4C:F1E0:6BD5 (talk) 22:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
I noticed that this article makes some VERY contentious claims regarding the Weavers (such as Sammy allegedly having a poster that said "death to Jews", and that Vicki drew a Swastika on the calender date for Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. It also says the couple ranted about Jews and Blacks, which I cannot find any other sources for. I feel this article's credibility should be rexamined. 2601:CF:4500:ACF0:C88C:5FC2:7859:1BFF (talk) 17:31, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Randy weaver was in fact a green beret! He did not go to Vietnam, but he did complete and qualify Army Special Forces — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100E:B048:9EFD:5C29:CFCA:D822:4CF7 (talk) 12:09, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Pleas revert this edit, the edit specifically says that he "but he shared the group’s white supremacist and antigovernment views" and says nothing about he denouncing them.2001:8003:3FB4:CF00:C8F:95DE:F32B:648C (talk) 11:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
