Todd McClay interaction

Kia ora @Andykatib, would you have any objection to me trimming down the length of your addition regarding the Todd McClay incident? I notice that there is more information on it here (128 words) than on McClay's own article (86 words), which feels like the wrong way round to me, given it was an offensive comment made by McClay, not Menéndez March.

Also, I think the coverage on this matter is too long in general per WP:WEIGHT. It is a really minor matter in the political world and probably really only needs to only be briefly mentioned. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 02:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Cloventt:, feel free to trim down the Menendez March article's description of the events. I agree that it could be trimmed down for the sake of balance and focus. Thanks for highlighting this issue. Andykatib (talk) 05:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
