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)

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)
