Recount - Footnote?[edit]

This is another great article by Tim1965. I wonder if the piece about the recount deserves more prominent mention in the article, as it is well sourced, relevant, and important. Bangabandhu (talk) 07:03, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, you're much too kind... My sense about the footnote was that it seemed a little un-encyclopedic because it was so detailed. Yet, it was important to know what the dispute was, and why White called off the recount. To resolve the issue, I footnoted it rather than put it in the text. But, any editor can be bold, and I certainly do not "own" this article. - Tim1965 (talk) 16:10, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Its well deserved. I learn so much from reading your articles and I can tell when you've been involved. As for the footnote/body question I try to limit my work to edits that I know are positive contributions - I could go either way on this one. Bangabandhu (talk) 00:33, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Let's ask for some help on the D.C. wikiproject. See if we can get some opinions. I'll do that now. - Tim1965 (talk) 15:43, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems relevant as to why White suspended the recount, but if Tim or others think it's too detailed for the main body of the article, keeping it as a footnote works. APK whisper in my ear 18:15, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's just it: I can go either way. Bangabandhu can go either way. Now you can go either way, APK? ARGH! - Tim1965 (talk) 17:13, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't go either way. (wait, what are we talking about...) Ok, I vote for inclusion. APK whisper in my ear 05:35, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You get to be on top, then. YAY! - Tim1965 (talk) 05:00, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of anti-semitic conspiracy theory[edit]

As far as I can tell, no neutral, reliable, published source says White himself is anti-semitic. Using that adjective to portray White, or using it as a section head or subhead, is not warranted by the sources (at least those used so far). Wikipedia also specifically bars editors from synthesizing information in sources to draw a conclusion. Wikipedia also requires editors to avoid undue weight to isolated incidents. It is up to neutral, reliable, published sources to make conclusions, not editors.

Sources clearly call the Rothschild conspiracy theory anti-semitic. But White's motivations in promoting the conspiracy theory have not (in any source I've yet seen used in the article) have not been labeled anti-semitic.

Biographies of living people have much stricter standards than those of other articles. I suggest editors use extreme caution in calling White anti-semitic or using the term as a section head or sub-head. Does anyone else have any input or comments or suggestions to make in this regard? - Tim1965 (talk) 17:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

well, if someone says anti-semitic things -> people will call them anti-semites, just like when someone says racist things -> people will call them racist, just like when someone says homophobic things-> people will call them homophobes... that is how that works — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.192.147.102 (talk) 20:21, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, that's not how it works. And not on Wikipedia. - Tim1965 (talk) 16:37, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
