Moved to Talk:Lawrence Summers § Dispute on inclusion of "cismale" and replacement of "American" with "Jewish-American"

Why did you revert my changes on Lawrence summers without giving an explanation or acknowledging my comments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.132.99.144 (talk) 22:42, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edits because they, while assumed to be in good faith, were unconstructive and not encyclopedic. — Twassman [Talk·Contribs] 22:46, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

my comment that you did not bother to acknowledge was\

"he is a public figure, describing him as American implies he represents America. which marginalizes minorities"

as for being constructive; that is your opinion, in my opinion it is accurate and justified, in fact by not doing your part, you become part of the problem — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.132.99.144 (talk) 22:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is simply not how nationality works. See MOS:CONTEXTBIO — he is an American national, and can definitely be referred to as such. — Twassman [Talk·Contribs] 23:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
