Black Twitter
I'm not sure how you can put African-Americans and South Africans as "Black Twitter" when the culture (and the time zones) are so different. Are the subjects that they talk about the same? Similar patterns of usage? What links them together other than race? Because there are a lot of Nigerians on Twitter and people from Ghana, too. I think those cultures mike have some commonality with users in South African but not African-American culture. Newjerseyliz (talk) 22:32, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, I added the South African material because a source said Black Twitter was becoming popular there too. The article (in the Christian Science Monitor) makes clear that it's a loose community. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Elon James White quote
I agree with the deletion here. The comment was about some hashtags rather than about Black Twitter per se; as it stood, it misrepresented White. Something could probably be said about the hashtags that White's comment addressed, but until the article has that material, the quote (inserted here by Daniel Case) lacks context. Andreas JN466 00:37, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
- I agree too. I've removed or moved what was in that section to the "Influence and reception" section, and we can build it up from there if more sources become available. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
- Just a note to say what a great job you've done with this, Andreas. It's a lot better now. SlimVirgin (talk) 20:38, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Bias in second paragraph
Hey, I'm not a Twitter user and I'm not sure how to reconstruct the second paragraph but it's clearly not neutral so can someone change it please? I don't think it should be reverted entirely because the issues it raises are valid, but are not written in an encyclopedic manner. Shiningroad (talk) 08:10, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- If you mean this, it was reverted as vandalism. Daniel Case (talk) 03:15, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if I'd call that 'vandalism'. It's insightful vandalism, anyway. :P Shiningroad (talk) 08:24, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Is this a joke?
Where is the white twitter, women's twitter, gay twitter, christian twitter, muslim twitter, etc... articles?
Is it odd to anyone that these sociology based articles are pretty much psuedoscience founded on opinion pieces? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.180.73 (talk) 07:59, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Help with another article
Hello all, I recently created the article SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, which has since been nominated for deletion. If anyone would like to join the discussion over there it would be much appreciated. CheersErykahHuggins (talk) 22:41, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- The discussion about Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen has taken a turn towards merging. Suggested merge targets thus far are Black Twitter, Black feminism and Intersectionality. In my opinion a section about specific hastags would logically fit here best. Please participate in the deletion/merging vote! --Ronja (talk) 05:13, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
