Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 00:45, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi there,
- I appreciate you reaching out. I will confess to not being familiar with the many and labyrinthine editing rules on Wikipedia. But I am quite clear about racism or anti-semitism when i see it. The original version of this page, to which you have reverted, contains anti-semitic tropes and apologetics. " For most Poles the figurines represent a harmless superstition and a positive, sympathetic portrayal of Jewishness." - there is no quoted study that demonstrates that. And there is nothing "harmless" about Jewish superstitions, or the ways Jews have been portrayed by this figurine, in Poland. Put simply, this page takes an anti-semitic practice and tries to normalize it. What would be the appropriate way to have that stated clearly in the description? I referenced pages about Nazi stereotypes and how these figurines match them visually. Why is that not acceptable? And the "interpretations" I made are no more or less "personal" than the ones they replaced, such as the one I quoted above. Why do they have less weight?
- Is there a way to flag racism or other forms of racial and religious bias in a post without needing to become an expert Wikipedia editor? Boundandheard (talk) 17:34, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
