RM of interest

edit

There is currently a proposal to move "Zio (pejorative)" to "Zionist as a pejorative". It may be of interest.VR (Please ping on reply) 06:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

In the Causes section, the word "scapegoat" should link to scapegoating (social concept) instead of scapegoat (religious concept) Scs52 (talk) 13:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Antisemitism on the Internet section

edit

I edited this page recently so this latest edit [1] showed on my watchlist. Although I am not wholly familiar with the intended scope of the page, it seems to me that the addition of a new section about Antisemitism on the Internet has a couple of problems.

  1. It appears to be coatracking for the only information thus far added, which is about cases of antisemitism on Wikipedia. This matter is covered in Criticism of Wikipedia (and the edit even recognises that by linking to it with a "see" template). That is a more targeted article. It is surely a sidetrack for this article to focus on specific cases on a specific website.
  2. This page is already too large per WP:SIZERULE and the potential for this section to explode is significant. If we are to allow examples of antisemitism on Internet sites, then surely we would need to talk about antisemitism on Twitter, and on Facebook, and on Instagram and Tik Tok and Youtube. Perhaps Second Life and other social spaces too. Not to mention USENET news and mailing lists, private sites, discord, IRC... The only reason we would stick just to Wikipedia is because this is Wikipedia... a subject for which every single one of us has a conflict of interest.

I am thus going to revert this section out. Any discussion of antisemitism on the Internet would have to be written in summary style on this page, and would need to focus on the effect on digital spaces as a whole. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:52, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
