This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Brendan I. Koerner (6 June 2023). "'Building a Platform Like Twitter Is Not Difficult'". Wired. Retrieved 24 June 2023. Just before dawn on February 20, he spouted a screenshot from Milan's Wikipedia profile. He'd highlighted a sentence that details an upsetting episode from her past: In 2006 and 2007, Milan had clerked for a federal judge who allegedly forced her to watch pornography, an experience she revealed publicly in 2017 as part of the #MeToo movement.

Neutrality[edit]

Having read the recent Quillette essay of the RWA controversy, the section on "Diversity and inclusion" here reads as heavily slanted to favor Milan. Jg2904 (talk) 15:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the article you mention (link). I've also read various articles about the RWA row which are more in line with the version currently in Milan's Wikipedia article, such as this one from the Guardian. My sense is that the version currently in Milan's WP article is in line with the more reliable sources, whilst Quillette seems to go out of its way to be controversial. The Romance Writers of America#Diversity and inclusion issues section has a version of events which seems in line with the one in this Milan article, with some of the same wording and references. So I would say there are not neutrality issues here, but that Quillette takes a position which is not representative of most media. Tacyarg (talk) 05:40, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most media? You only linked one. Is this a joke?

If you can't better justify this then this page needs to be completely rewritten. The Quilette article includes multiple quotes from Milan herself discussing how she can't be held accountable for ethics violations because it was on social media, an exclusion she personally added to their "ethics" guidelines.

In addition, in the Quilette article which you clearly haven't read, the Milan admits she DID NOT EVEN READ THE FREE SAMPLES for the book this very wikipedia article says she "reviewed."

I'm going to completely rewrite this page, but I'd like to see you explain why quotes from the woman herself should not be used first. 2600:1700:5E40:7190:A159:5F26:380D:FF07 (talk) 10:01, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, no, my response in January 2021 wasn't a joke; no, I don't see any reason why quotes from Milan can't be used. Tacyarg (talk) 19:00, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
