According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 2 times. The weeks in which this happened: |
why does nothing talk about his computer password
There was a leak in which he had as his computer password The Night of Long Knives as well as the date the jwews got expelled from England....there is no mention of that in his controversies. Chefs-kiss (talk) 18:27, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Education Infobox
He did not graduate from either the University of Manchester or the University of Cambridge, he only attended briefly before being kicked out. His infobox listing these institutions as his 'education' seems in accurate because he did not complete a program of study at either. If you look at Bill Gates' infobox it specifies that he "dropped out" of Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg's does the same - I propose doing similar for Yiannopoulos and noting that he was removed from both.Boredintheevening (talk) 16:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- I have restored his incomplete education to the infobox. Nedrutland (talk) 08:24, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
Milo Yiannopoulos’s charity for white men closes with questions about where the money went
John Cummings (talk) 11:00, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Education parameter
@Cortador: The citation you brought up is for the alma_mater parameter, not the education parameter.
Hi, no this is wrong. The template documentation says "This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) |education= ... It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise", the either referring to education and alma mater --FMSky (talk) 12:31, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Long quotations of Milo's views
Why would we promote Milo's views in those long quotes, there is no need for more than what first two sentences express. Further, Milo is not "critic of Islam" to be categorized as such - his animus against Muslims expressed in million ways has taken privilege of being called "critic of Islam" from him long time ago. He is a bigot and Islamophobe, and it is unacceptable to put him in the same group as late Christopher Hitchens, for instance, who genuinely belong to a group of Islam and religion critics with legit arguments. It should be explained why something gets reverted, that's the least we owe to each other. ౪ Santa ౪ 14:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- I do think "Critic of" categories are better reserved for those who have an academic/philosophical take on the subject. I agree over-quotation of Milo is a problem. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:48, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Of course, we should avoid quotations which contain some specific information in vacuum, like those bits I removed but another editor reverted without explanation. When we put something that needs additional elaboration or explanation, all with RS, but don't do that then we promote that info or at least leave reader with a huge question mark over his head; if go into explanation we risk going off topic, and so on. And for label "critic" - it should be reserved, specifically, for genuine critics, not for "pro-trolls". ౪ Santa ౪ 15:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Feel free to make any WP:BOLD changes. Zenomonoz (talk) 15:49, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- To be fair, Santa was bold and then they were reverted, so this is a good move. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:19, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- I later restored my "version", and I hope you guys agree? If some disagree, we can always roll back old version or discuss it more, or bring some new ideas. ౪ Santa ౪ 17:57, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's a good edit. Zenomonoz (talk) 00:55, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
