Latinx
Hi,
You recently undid one of my edits for the Latinx article, declaring that a non-notable polling firm is unsuitable for use in the lead. If this is the case, why is non-notable polling outfit "ThinkNow Research" allowed as a reference in the very same (lead) paragraph? See statement: "Surveys of Hispanic and Latino Americans have found that most prefer other terms such as Hispanic and Latina/Latino to describe themselves, and that only 2 to 3 percent use Latinx." Please clarify or revert. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loltardo (talk • contribs) 01:47, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- Read the paragraph again. The references are to Fortune and Pew Research Center, not ThinkNow. The addition of the Bendixen poll does not meaningfully alter the statement either. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 01:54, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- With the widespread coverage and the fact that the term has always been controversial, I don’t think it should be reverted. It isn’t undue and recent doesn’t really work with the something known to be unpopular. [1][2][3] 2600:1700:1111:5940:297E:F34:CA72:1E71 (talk) 03:00, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

- Sangdeboeuf read the paragraph again. The Forbes article explicitly says "ThinkNow launched a nationwide poll with a 508-person sample of Latinx/Latino/Hispanic people that they say is demographically representative of the census." You should actually read the article cited next time before making incorrect statements. In the interest of fairness, I still think my edit should be reverted, or the ThinkNow poll reference should be removed. Loltardo (talk) 19:03, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- So what? The paragraph says, "Surveys of Hispanic and Latino Americans have found that most prefer other terms such as Hispanic and Latina/Latino to describe themselves, and that only 2 to 3 percent use Latinx." It doesn't single out any one poll in Wikipedia's voice. Why should we do that with this latest one? --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

"How to Be an Antiracist" John McWhorter
I do not understand your stance on John McWhorter and why you believe his criticism of the book should be excluded from the page. You cited that he is not an expert in the field; which field? He has taught classes and lectured on the topic of race at Columbia University and based his critisims on that subject. You called two of the sources in my edit "propaganda;" to me this accusation is both unfounded and unfalsifiable, but I would like to hear what you were trying to say. Sorry for being so horribly blunt. Pernicious.Editor (talk) 00:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
