Request[edit]
Why is the talk page locked on the racialism article? I have some comments. Zwitterion (talk) 18:17, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Short answer appears to be long-term trolling of the page by a banned user and his socks. Jinx (talk) 18:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- So can you unlock so I can address the errors in your article? Zwitterion (talk) 18:36, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Before we do, could you give a brief overview on what errors those are?
DuceMoosoliniYour friendly RW dictatormoderator 18:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)- I second Duce on this. Public School Girl (talk) 18:40, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sure. The article has an overreliance on Templeton for basic facts about biological definitions. This man is not a notable biologist, and is only notable for being an antagonist in the race dispute. I'm not sure why you would select him as a source unless you are biased towards the racial-Marxist position. His conceptions of fundamental biology are totally wrong, e.g. his criteria for taxa. He also misrepresent Wright for differentiation classes. They're strawman definitions set up ad hoc to knock down the race concept. It's complete bullshit, I'd like it to be removed to improve your science wiki. Zwitterion (talk) 18:43, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- You seemed very fast to criticise. And then very slow to answer. Are you biased towards a racial-Marxist POV. Zwitterion (talk) 20:06, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

So, who would you like to use as an authority instead? Don't worry, if this debate becomes useful it can be copied over. — Dysk (contribs) 20:09, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- This is embarrassing. Of course it is not a question of using authorities. Raationally we should examine the claims on a case by case basis. Zwitterion (talk) 20:19, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- That could take a while. It's much easier to base an argument on someone who has already done the work, eg, an authority. — Dysk (contribs) 20:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
