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 ౪99° 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 ౪99° 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)
Category was rv again without TP discussion, I assume on the pretense that we have specific guideline or policy which regulates this problem and allow bold and without discussion removal - we don't, because if did we wouldn't have Category:Antisemitism in the United Kingdom filled with BP' and BLP's.--౪ Santa ౪99° 19:05, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
His reversion to catholicism?
nothing about his reversion to catholicism? 142.163.195.238 (talk) 18:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- There was also absolutely nothing about Yiannopoulos' Jewish ethnicity throughout the article. Despite dozens of orphaned sources containing the information. His mother is Jewish, ergo, he is ethnically Jewish. 108.88.197.8 (talk) 21:11, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
Weakest Link
His appearance on the Weakest Link should be mentioned here. My tightness (talk) 06:17, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Yiannopoulos is ethnically Jewish, no mention of that fact
There was also absolutely nothing about Yiannopoulos' Jewish ethnicity throughout the article. Despite dozens of orphaned sources containing the information. His mother is Jewish and her Jewry is not in dispute, ergo, her son, Yiannopoulos is ethnically Jewish. Do not revert this revision as it is properly sourced and concisely written. 108.88.197.8 (talk) 21:13, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
Update
I think this needs to be updated a lot of info seems inaccurate here. 99bullshit (talk) 08:30, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
Brain tumour?
The only source on this is his X post. Should it be removed?
