I don't have an account and this page is locked. (Looks like it's locked for good reason lol.) I think this line is phrased poorly:

On February 11, 2007, an attack was launched on the website of US presidential candidate (and future US president) Barack Obama, where the group's name was caused to appear on the website's front page.

Suggested edit:
On February 11, 2007, an attack was launched on the website of former US president Barack Obama at the time of his first presidential campaign, where the group's name was caused to appear on the website's front page.

Original version makes it sound like we're awaiting a 3rd term. Update clarifies that he was president in the past but the incident happened before he was president. It could probably be phrased even clearer, but I couldn't think of anything, so I added a link. If there's a better, more specific link, then that could be used instead.

Also using passive voice makes the phrasing awkward and obscures whether the attack was committed by the GNAA or if it's intentionally not naming an attacker because there's no source providing evidence who the attacker is. If it's the former: Shrey K.

On February 11, 2007, the GNAA attacked the website of former US president Obama at the time of his first presidential campaign, where they caused their name to appear on the website's front page.

If it's the latter:

On February 11, 2007, an attack was launched on the website of former US president Barack Obama at the time of his first presidential campaign by causing the name of the GNAA to appear on the website's front page. It's unclear whether the GNAA was responsible.

If that assumes too much or is too leading:

On February 11, 2007, an unknown attacker defaced the website of former US president Barack Obama at the time of his first presidential campaign, where they caused the name of the GNAA to appear on the website's front page. 2601:98A:4181:2610:D442:6516:AFEF:E506 (talk) 13:16, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: At the time of the attack, Obama was a presidential candidate, not a former president. PianoDan (talk) 17:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's why the sentence says "at the time of his first presidential campaign". EO1912 (talk) 11:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't find the proposed rewording clearer. Since that means there's two editors with differing opinions, it isn't an uncontroversial change. As such it needs a consensus before it can be added using the edit request template procedure. PianoDan (talk) 16:04, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
