Problematic?[edit]

So this article seems to be missing any sort of critique of a charitable group that exists exclusively for the benefit of white people. Are we taking them at face value for a reason? If so, why do we have an article on them if it's just going to reproduce their talking points?

By all means, add some criticism. For my part, there's something about the all-round oddness of a charity dedicated to presenting white English people as a persecuted minority that makes me see the subject less as a target to be attacked and more as a potentially fascinating case study in identity politics gone wrong, so I've been a bit... detatched, I suppose, in writing about it.
I wouldn't say that the current article is simply repeating their talking points, though. Right now it's focused more on the history of its dispute with the Charity Commission and the groups that it's spawned. Balaam (talk) 18:04, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the 13th Warrior[edit]

Everyone acknowledges that this is a work of fiction - it's based on a Michael Crichton novel, which is in turn based on the story of Beowulf; 'infamously inaccurate' is over-egging the pudding a bit, don't you think? 193.1.104.12 (talk) 13:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
