What happened here?
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conrad_Tillard&oldid=1097588811 vs the current page. What the hell happened here? All of the old information is gone. GeorgeBailey (talk) 15:52, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Per the note at the top of this page, and WP general BLP policy, material that was not adequately sourced and potentially contentious was removed immediately. A lot of that content was (in addition to being unsourced, self-sourced, or just poorly sourced) overly promotional, note you are linking to a last edit clearly performed by a PR company with the name "Comms" right there.

I would like to know my Conrad Tillard's education information was deleted? I would like to know why the fact that he is a Christian minister is deleted. He has spent most of his life and his profession is a minister. He had a life before the Nation of Islam, and a life after leaving the NOI. He has documented his transformation from his past. Which Wikipedia editors only want to document mostly old issues. Changes to Conrad Tillard's wikipedia article were made a few days before the August elections. Whereas, his opponents education is intact.
 * "His opponent" (AKA, the sitting State Senator - your non-NPOV bias is showing in your phrasing, by juxtaposing the two rather than discussing this article on its own merits) has always had his education unimpeachably well-cited since his Wikipedia article has existed. Tillard's education was completely uncited, ergo per BLP rules, was removed. This information can be easily obtained by reviewing the edit summaries that accompanied the removal of the material in question. Seems easier to do that than to start a Talk page discussion, let alone piggyback onto one that already answered the same material four months prior. JesseRafe (talk) 19:02, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * It looks like the Daily News, and the New York Post are the two New York papers that wrote the articles bringing up Conrad Tillard's past. These two newspapers are known to be biased towards African Americans. Adjoajo (talk) 20:49, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Any conflicts of interest need declaring?
A huge difference to the content and quality of the article has recently been made almost entirely by IPs (November 14, 2022 – December 7, 2022) and I'm curious to ask, as section heading, if any conflict of interest (guideline) should be declared regarding this work? 11:45, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * None at all. BTW, I also write entire articles at times from scratch, and sometimes they make it to DYK -- this one won't get there, as the size increase is not sufficient. Thanks for recognizing the difference in the quality of the article. --2603:7000:2143:8500:3484:A520:5DBA:2ACC (talk) 06:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Super duper and just calling it as I see it :)  14:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Jew & responsible for hole in ozone.
This statement makes no sense, that Jews are responsible for the hole in the ozone. I am looking for references in this regard. Adjoajo (talk) 21:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Nobody is suggesting that it makes sense (except perhaps Tillard), that's why it's included in his history of antagonistic and bigoted remarks. See https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1992/3/6/the-foundation-for-intercultural-hypocrisy-pbybou/ JesseRafe (talk) 14:55, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Rev Tillard during his student years at University of Pennsylvania
The current biographical article missed some important aspects of Rev. Tillard's tenure at U Penn. He was a columnist with the campus student-run newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian (DP). That was during his NOI days. As the President of the Black Student League (BSL) at the University, he courted a number of controversies, captured in fair detail in the DP archives (https://dparchives.library.upenn.edu/?a=q&hs=1&r=1&results=1&txf=txIN&txq=conrad+tillard&e=---en-20--1--txt-txIN--- )

From a biographical accuracy standpoint, the article also omits details of his first marriage to Michele Y Griffith, a doctor whom he had dated at U Penn, was married to for several years and with whom he had multiple children. It also omits the painful circumstances under which he disengaged from the Nation of Islam (NOI). A mention of both of these facts can be found at https://www.villagevoice.com/escape-from-the-nation-of-islam/ Pixie0427 (talk) 07:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
