Cleaning up "STOP ERA" section.
The first sentence of paragraph four was not comprehensible, and it cited to an opinion piece on a (libertarian?) website entitled "OpEdNews". If there is some value to including arguments critical of Ms. Schlafly's activism, citations should be made to scholarly or news media sources. In addition, voices critical to Ms. Schlafly may be relevant if they are noteworthy people, like Gloria Steinem, however, the blog writer does not appear to be a noteworthy person. I deleted the sentence and attempted to rewrite the paragraph so it made sense.
Including Gloria Steinem's "Aunt Tom" comment would be a great addition, if one could find the citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wsgy01 (talk • contribs) 02:38, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
NYT Article and Schlafly's code words
Elstong - First, welcome to Misplaced Pages. There are two issues that need to be addressed; first, here is the direct citation from the NYT article:
“ | Critchlow points out that Schlafly "never identified Jews as part of any conspiracy," but then she didn't have to: phrases that invoke godless, countryless "well-financed" minorities are a well-recognized code among those who fear world domination by Wall Street and the Trilateral Commission. But Critchlow, a professor of history at St. Louis University, lets all this wink-winking go on without comment. | ” |
This is the exact quote from the article from Judith Warner, a Jewish NY Times reporter. She does state that Schlafly uses code words for a specific group of people, and in my opinion, reflects such in the wiki page.
Second, you were removing a source, namely the NYT article due to your editing. If you have an issue with the source, then that should be discussed also and the reasons why rather than removing it - maybe that was an accident. Again, welcome to Misplaced Pages.

- I put the footnote back in. Read the quote carefully. It does not say who uses the code phrases. It does say something about who recognizes the code, but it does not even say that Schlafly or Critchlow recognize the code. Please do not attribute something to Warner or the NY Times unless they actually said it. Elstong (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
KillerChihuahua, please stop inserting false, defamatory, and anti-Jewish allegations into this article. Please do not insert derogatory allegations into my home page. If you want to discuss improvements to this article, then please use this Talk page. Judith Warner is a Jewish NY Times columnist who raised a Jewish issue that has very little to do Phyllis Schlafly. Elstong (talk) 22:42, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
