In the he quotes "“weasel American Jew”" as having been a tag. There are no diff links in it, so is he confusing the ] and ] put in by a volunteer indicating that the WP '''article''' contained ], as being a tag saying the subject of the bio is a weasel; or is he talking about somehing put in by a vandal editor we can block? Also, how can being categorized as American and Jewish be "hate speech"? Even if it's incorrect, I don't see how an incorrect categorization as either or both on a project, written by volunteers for people who can't afford expensive "World Knowledge" encyclopedias, is "hate speech". -- ] (]), 2010-04-13t10:29z

Stubifying

Folks, this article is entirely devoid of references and has generated a complaint to OTRS. As a result, I've stripped out most of the content and it should be rebuilt from the bottom up. Stifle (talk) 10:35, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

In the Cutting Edge News article he quotes "“weasel American Jew”" as having been a tag. There are no diff links in it, so is he confusing the "Articles with weasel words" category and "This article contains weasel words" template put in by a volunteer indicating that the WP article contained weasel words, as being a tag saying the subject of the bio is a weasel; or is he talking about somehing put in by a vandal editor we can block? Also, how can being categorized as American and Jewish be "hate speech"? Even if it's incorrect, I don't see how an incorrect categorization as either or both on a project, written by volunteers for people who can't afford expensive "World Knowledge" encyclopedias, is "hate speech". -- Jeandré (talk), 2010-04-13t10:29z
