 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Sarah Baartman. ''You cannot remove content from articles just because you don't like it.

What do you have against feminism?
The fact that Baartman's remains were removed from display as a direct result of public pressure as a consequence of second-wave feminism is properly referenced from the cited academic source. You cannot remove properly sourced facts from a Wikipedia article just because you don't like it, you need a valid reason based on Wikipedia's policies. I strongly reccommend that you read the article about second-wave feminism, which hopefully would help you understand the social conditions and forces prevalent in much of the western world at the time. Please also take note of the rules regarding edit warring. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:52, 21 June 2017 (UTC)


 * The full paragraph from the source is:
 * "'Baartman’s exhibition proved popular until it elicited complaints from a number of feminists who complained of its degrading representation of women. The modern campaign of criticism witnessed the removal from public exhibition of Baartman’s skeleton in 1974 and body cast in 1976 and their relegation to the museum storerooms. Following her removal, the Musée de l’Homme installed an exhibition on the history of Man devoted to celebrating human diversity. Here Baartman’s tale appeared in a section devoted to the history of scientific racism and was embedded in a much larger historical context. Ironically, Baartman’s replacement with an exhibition celebrating diversity indicates an awareness of the complexity of display but, by failing to problematize the very use of museological space, still privileges the role museums might play in retelling her tale. Especially revealing are the comments of Philippe Mennecier, an assistant curator at the Musée de l’Homme, who continued to argue against her repatriation because “we never know what science will be able to tell us in the future. If she is buried, this chance will be lost ... for us she remains a very important treasure”, thus continuing to legitimate her putative value as an artefact, albeit one hidden from the public gaze.'"


 * I hope this settles the matter to your satisfaction. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:54, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
