Edelman Family Foundation
Hello @Crossroads

I am reaching out to you because of your previous participation in one of the discussions regarding the reliability and neutrality of HuffPost/Pink News/ProPublica as sources used on Wikipedia.

Currently, there is an ongoing issue with the Edelman Family Foundation section in the Joseph Edelman Wikipedia article. The section appears to be biased and lacks a balanced representation of the foundation's activities, as it primarily focuses on a single controversial donation while neglecting to mention the organization's numerous other significant contributions to various causes.

I would like to invite you to participate in the discussion on the BLP Noticeboard to address the concerns surrounding the section's neutrality and explore ways to improve its content. Llama Tierna (talk) 18:11, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Christianity
Hello Crossroads. thank you for solving this. Though, I wonder, why about.com is on the blacklist, seems it now is Dotdash Meredith. Is that on the blacklist too? And if yes, does this also mean in the future, coming across the about.com references, they should be removed? Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 03:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I really don't know why it is on the blacklist or what else is on there. All I know is the page was broken, I was trying to read it, and I wanted to just get it fixed. Since about.com even in the best of times is not a particularly great source (not academic or super reputable, just a website) and most uses of it there seemed redundant, I felt it was fine to just remove it; it was the only way to save the page. I would suggest searching the archives of WP:RSN for more information about the site. Crossroads -talk- 01:37, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you very, very much Crossroads for your kind help and assistance. Since you mention the link is (for the time being) not a particularly great source, I feel, next time, if I come across is and it is still blacklisted, I can remove it from the article. Instead I will insert the template. Cheers Lotje (talk) 04:38, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Thyroid theory
I need to tidy up/rewrite Biology and sexual orientation, but the thyroid theory seems to have disproportionate coverage given the primary sources. You (or I) could take an axe to it. Zenomonoz (talk) 22:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I recommend chopping the section. I think I remember when it was added, it was by a red-linked username and I tried reverting it, but they reverted back and I didn't have time back then to argue about it (was very busy IRL). Just save or bring back whatever scientific review articles or books say about the theory, if they say anything at all. Crossroads -talk- 01:29, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you
I get WP:NOTCENSORED, but readers don't expect to see a highly explicit gif when they type "Or" into the search engine. Thank you for getting rid of it. funplussmart (talk) 02:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
