Talk:Amanda Marcotte

message: This is patently obvious when viewing the article. I think we should look to rename the article. Turtlescrubber 22:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I agree.  Also does anybody know where Marcotte has been called a feminist?--Cailil  talk 21:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: This is an article about the Bill Donahue controversy not about Amanda Marcotte

message: Another ed has removed this sourced material with the justification of making the article more balanced. This reflects a basic misunderstanding – "balance" means the article generally reflects what is contained within the broader world of secondary WP:RS, not that if the article says something negative, it must also say something positive so that we're not being mean. For the record, I'm a completely disinterested editor. I've never read anything authored by Marcotte, nor am I familiar with any of her work. However, I have reverted vandalism on this article from time to time. That being said, there is a fairly vast body of secondary sources on Marcotte, most of which seems to be of the nature of the sources I recently added (but which have been deleted). In perusing the record, it seems there is a long-standing tendency to sanitize information such as this from the article. Please let us have an article that reflects the available sources.

replies: text: It would be good if we could find tertiary sources or high-quality secondary sources to demonstrate that such a strongly negative article is in fact balanced, especially since this is a BLP. I definitely agree that sources about Marcotte seem to be more often negative than positive, and the current state of the article already reflects that, but we should be very wary of having a BLP that consists primarily of criticism. That being said, I don't feel strongly about the "perpetually outraged" quote, and I won't remove it again if you add it. The "intolerant" quote is not supported by the source, though, as far as I can tell. —Granger (talk · contribs) 00:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

message: As far as I can tell, she has not contributed to the Guardian since October 2013. Perhaps the article should reflect this. SheepOG (talk) 10:43, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
