On the new criticisms

[edit]

For clarification, I got the link on Ben Wing's account on XEmacs from the Serbian Wikipedia article on him. I didn't notice it talking about XEmacs (although it does in one of the main sections and I forgot), so I decided it would be good to add it. I'll soon cover the glibc devs' criticism on him from long ago; not 2018, not the abortion joke case. Gmestanley (talk) 15:20, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The criticisms section is garbage

[edit]

(Not the content about the Epstien comments, which is separated out). Almost every source cited is a primary source of some sort. The section also repeatedly quotes stallmansupport.org, a self-published, and therefore unreliable, source. Quite frankly, I have every intention of removing the section outright soon.

Thank you for doing that. I will try to read up more on the article rules such as WP:DUE and WP:UNDUE. Gmestanley (talk) 01:26, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Expand Epstien?

[edit]

I feel like the Epstien section should probably be expanded to include his other views on sexual assault harassment and pedophillia in light of The Stallman Report. (I unfortunately do not have time right now with school) 2603:3005:5431:A200:0:0:0:539C (talk) 23:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "Stallman Report" comes across more as an attempted character assassination than any sort of reliable source. The publisher of this document, Drew DeVault, is infamous in the FOSS community for holding a long-standing personal grudge against Stallman for reasons that are unclear. Best not to rely on his words for this article. 82.1.171.189 (talk) 22:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
