Talk:Merav Michaeli

Out of date, biased
This page is well written and contains some basic information on the subject, but needs some work to be brought up to par for an encyclopedia.

Much of the information is out of date. There isn't a word on the last election election in Israel or Michaeli's current positions and activities.

It is also very biased. Consider this line "A longtime advocate for women's and minority rights, she is known for her ability to consistently challenge conventional views and positions." Hydromania (talk) 11:00, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Unsourced claim from article
Removed the following line from the main page. Please add it back (and explain it better) if you find a source.

"and the producer and star of her own prime-time, documentary, and current affairs television and radio programs." Hydromania (talk) 06:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Neutral point of view
Hi @InLizWeTruss, you recently used the word "bizzarly" (sic) when describing a statement by Michaeli. That kind of language is not in line with WP:NPOV (Neutral point of view) and, so, is not suitable for use in Wikipedia. Misha Wolf (talk) 13:15, 17 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think anyone would argue that the fact that she religious zionists should vote for her because her great-grandfather was also a religious zionist is bizarre; its not debatable that it is ridiculous. Why is that not neutral? 185.182.71.29 (talk) 19:27, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @InLizWeTruss, I decided to get input on this from the Wikipedia Helpdesk (see Help desk). I got the following responses:
 * Looking at the article, I can't see any obvious reason why her response to this one specific question needs to be include at all, given the lack of any evidence that any published reliable source thought it significant.
 * "Bizarre" is definitely a loaded and non-neutral word that should never be used in wikivoice. At most it can be used to report what someone else said, as in "multiple commentators called her statement 'bizarre'".
 * The bottom line is that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. Writing in Wikipedia is not like writing in social media. For example, in Wikipedia it is not OK to just write whatever one thinks. For more information, please see Neutral point of view. Misha Wolf (talk) 00:00, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Misha Wolf; if you don't mind me asking how do you get to the level of being able to edit semi-protected articles InLizWeTruss (talk) 00:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @InLizWeTruss, I believe that auto-confirmed users can edit semi-protected articles. The requirements for auto-confirmation are pretty minimal and you are going to be auto-confirmed very soon, if I am not mistaken. The requirements are: the account is at least 4 days old and the user has made at least 10 edits (see AUTOC). Misha Wolf (talk) 01:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I can see how this is bizarre, but it's still wrong to say that. יהואש (talk) 09:25, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Just curious as to why you think so? InLizWeTruss (talk) 22:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It is unseemly to use this kind of language in an encyclopedia. יהואש (talk) 11:25, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @InLizWeTruss, what it boils down to is that a Wikipedia editor is not allowed to add subjective statements to Wikipedia. As was stated in reply to my question to the Help desk (see above):
 * "Bizarre" is definitely a loaded and non-neutral word that should never be used in wikivoice.
