Heroes?

[edit]

The lemma now says that in 2017, the "Confederate statue [was] removed by Heroes". I think this does not befit Wikipedia. I don't know about some objective fact that warrants the qualification 'heroes', not do I understand why this word was written with a capital H. If there was any organization behind the taking down of the statue, it was the 'Freedom Fighters'.

Inserting the word 'Heroes' here, certainly with its capital H, may be a political publicity stunt. Hence I wager the idea of replacing it with the more proper 'a group op people who called themselves Freedom Fighters'.

This comment of mine was not inspired by any political stance that I take, but by my idea of what Wikipedia should be, and should not want to be.Mcouzijn (talk) 12:13, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
