Really glad the picture for Captain Tom's article was finally changed to how he was mostly recognized as, his British army picture is a good addition but I thought it was kinda misleading for his article -Gouleg🛋️ (Stalk • Hound) 15:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Political attacks in the commentary aren't a good look for Wikipedia... please, try keep it neutral if you can't be positive! Sir Magnus has spoken! (So can you!)
I found the commentary on Gina Carano to be particularly distasteful. You say that she compared the Holocaust to how conservatives were being treated, but that isn't even what is being said in her instagram post? Then you compare US migrant detention centres to Holocaust camps. Last I checked, they weren't gassing migrants by the millions. You then say she made transphobic remarks, but the Wikipedia page says that "Carano was later accused of transphobia". There's quite a difference between being accused of transphobia by some random people on Twitter and then a Wikipedia editor, who should speak the truth, saying that their comments are transphobic. Sure, The Signpost isn't supposed to be neutral or boring, but it isn't supposed to push some kind of narrative, especially when it is harmful and misleading.

- Oh my god, I had no idea Gina had a Wikipedia account! Hey, girl! How's that new movie with Ben Shapiro coming along? /s benǝʇᴉɯ 08:01, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given we're adding the controversies of everybody's lives in these along with what they're notable for, and this one was notably missing, I want to add that the Weeknd song "Lost In The Fire" has lyrics about raping lesbian women or otherwise "turning" lesbians straight by having sex with them.
