"Humanitarian"
I just have to wonder: Would somebody that "held an event seeking to raise awareness and money for the defense of several members of the KKK" also be introduced as a humanitarian? A lot of articles on leftist figures read like some sort of hagiography. --105.0.5.191 (talk) 23:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It’s difficult to make sense out of this. The underlying presumptions seem to be that the world cleaves into two parts, “left” and “right”, that one of these is the mirror image of the other, and that it is just as virtuous to be “right” as it is to be “left”. None of these presumptions has anything to do with reality. If you have a complaint about the article, you need to specify clearly, in a straightforward manner, what that complaint actuallly is.

Leonard Bernstein’s wife date of birth
Felicia Montealegre was born in 1922 not 1952. 2601:84:8100:24E0:101B:F395:C071:5920 (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * She was indeed. Where in the article does it state that she was born in 1952? Favonian (talk) 17:33, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
