Hi. Why exactly you are deleting my edits?! You are not owner of the Elastigirl article. At least tell me what is wrong with that. You can google it every website already mentioned she is “hot”. 204.18.149.32 (talk) 03:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

If there is a website with a top 10 list about it anywhere, it may be included in the article, but any statements from the website may only be quoted. Have a look at WP:REFBEGIN if you have problems citing websites. Thank you. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 16:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Bret Stephens is a racial fascist

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/01/opinion/iran-israel-hezbollah.html He has supported the IDF killing civilians and the genocide in Gaza as well as any other violence against the arab peoples 2601:C2:880:2220:C082:D62F:F508:3775 (talk) 02:05, 4 October 2024 (UTC) Just read his page..... Comments about antisemitism In August 2016, The Wall Street Journal published a column by Stephens about an Egyptian judoka refusing to shake hands with his Israeli opponent after an Olympic match, in which Stephens called antisemitism "the disease of the Arab mind".[40] Some readers criticized this as a racist generalization that all Arabs were antisemitic. After Stephens joined The New York Times, several reporters at the newspaper criticized Stephens's previous writings.[41]

In a December 2019 column titled "The Secrets of Jewish Genius",[42] in which he contended that Ashkenazi Jews have a history of alternative thinking which has led them to be successful. This article led to accusations of eugenics and racism. The column originally said that "Ashkenazi Jews might have a marginal advantage over their gentile peers when it comes to thinking better. Where their advantage more often lies is in thinking different."[43][44] Following widespread criticism, The New York Times editors deleted the section of the column in which he appeared to claim that Ashkenazi Jews are genetically superior to other groups.[45] The editors said that Stephens erred in citing an academic study by an author with "racist views" whose 2005 paper advanced a genetic hypothesis for the basis of intelligence among Ashkenazi Jews.[45][46] The Times's deletion was criticized by Jonathan Haidt, Nadine Strossen, and Steven Pinker, who called it "surrender to an outrage mob".[47]

In February 2021, Stephens wrote a column critical of the Times's dismissal of Donald McNeil for using a racial slur against African Americans in the context of a discussion with students of the slur's usage. Six students present on the occasion said that McNeil had used the word "in a way that they perceived as casual, unnecessary or even gratuitous", but one of them added that "McNeil's opinions didn't disparage African Americans".[48] The Times spiked the column,[49][50] but it was leaked to the New York Post, which published it.[51] Stephens principally argued against the editor's initial position that the newspaper would "not tolerate racist language regardless of intent";[49][51] the editor subsequently backed down from that position.[49][50] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C2:880:2220:C082:D62F:F508:3775 (talk) 02:07, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

He also actively supports rapists [1] [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C2:880:2220:C082:D62F:F508:3775 (talk) 02:13, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Please have a look at WP:NPOV - we do not introduce someone as a racist in this way, and you posted a section of the article that already discusses his racism, but in a way that complies with the aforementioned policy. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 00:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

BC article

Hi: I’m not sure why you reverted my changes to the BC article I made two changes: deleting the name of an unknown registry claiming to be one of two principal registries of the working BC, and correcting erroneous health information (for which I did provide a citation). What is your specific objection with my changes? 2601:85:C100:5AC0:7C06:A998:576E:B91E (talk) 02:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
