The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
In the section 2005-2017, "An analysis of Academy Award acceptance speeches from 1966 to 2016 found that Weinstein had been thanked or praised in 34 speeches—as many times as God, and second only to Steven Spielberg (with 43 mentions).", I feel like "-as many times as God," is unneeded and doesn't serve the neutral tone of Wikipedia. Do the rest of you agree? MLC 30975 (talk) 15:35, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What I think should be changed: "Weinstein's political idealism appears to have long predated his gradual descent into abusive sexual behavior, which didn't begin until the late 1970s" should be removed.
Why it should be changed: This was the only change made in the revision on 15th August 2024 by Kriegman, a friend of Weinstein, and the only citation is to an opinion piece written by Kriegman himself. The statement is an opinion of the user who made the edit and is not relevant to the article. The edit should be reverted.
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Done: yeah that was pretty bad. --AntiDionysius (talk) 19:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
