https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/may/15/why-the-alt-left-will-succeed-where-centrists-fail I don't know enough about your editing system to add this in, but I think it should be under references. — Unsigned, by: 67.248.64.115 / talk / contribs

This reads like the whoever wrote this knows literally nothing about leftism. There is no such thing as the "alt left." The "alt left" is a pejorative conservative propagandists use to talk about regular old socialists. The rest of the article reads like reactionary garbage. I'm not interested in getting in an editing war with some idiot channer, so do everyone a favor and either delete this crap or find someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Thanks.

It would be hard for you to be less specific about what your problem is with the article. There is something of a reaction against identity politics among many leftists, who find it prissy and stifling. I may be a bit ahead of the curve here, since to the extent I am a leftist of any stripe, a label I would not claim, my kind is the ACLU kind. But identity politics has turned into something very contrary to the spirit of the 60s. - Smerdis of Tlön, LOAD "*", 8, 1. 04:34, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Make a suggestion here: RationalWiki:To do list/Suggestions. CowHouse (talk) 07:26, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
why did you remove my edit? , he created the altleft 101.180.193.48 (talk) 10:49, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm not trying to be mean but your edit was of poor quality (formatting, grammar, spelling, etc.). You don't appear to be very familiar with using this website, or wikis in general.
You presented his high IQ score as if it is a fact even though it's something he has simply stated without any proof (not to mention that his IQ is not only irrelevant but not necessarily an accurate reflection of his intelligence). The SJW alliance thing is just stupid and insignificant. His opinion of feminism is also hardly relevant here. It would be more appropriate on his own page. You added him to the suggestions so someone might make an article about him. You also added this: Robert Stark and Alt Left Blogger Robert Lindsay talks to Rabbit. You mention Robert Stark and "Rabbit" as if everybody is already familiar with them.
I was originally going to clean up your edit but the only thing worth mentioning is that he might have coined the term "alt-left" (I have now re-added this). CowHouse (talk) 14:54, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
To make it more readable, I recommend you bullet out the links to neatly organize them into list format. If you're quoting, use quotebox. You need to format your posts properly: it's difficult to read in the present state (prior to a revision by Cosmikdebris). I also don't think the lack of punctuation and capitalization helps either, so take care of that too. Thanks. --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 00:14, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
