Antisemitism section

Pinging @

WP:UNDUE. Even if it is sourced, this section is half as long as the entire History section of the article that covers 100+ years of history. It was introduced by an editor with an obvious axe to grind based on their username who is edit-warring to keep it in the article. Please self-revert. Thanks, shoy (reactions) 19:53, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

@Shoy: I would caution you on your accusations of edit warring. Edit warring is a serious issue and accusing regular editors of edit warring for no reason is counter-productive and 'cries wolf' at best, and a baseless attack on character at worst. 8.20.65.4 (talk) 12:06, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You jumped into an article where there were 3 reverts in 24 hours and reverted again. Call it what you want. shoy (reactions) 12:14, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@
WP:FORUM but I won't remove it since I've already pinged you. 8.20.65.4 (talk) 12:56, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

The event being discussed was notable and reported in multiple reliable sources. The section could certainly be trimmed, but blanking the entire section would be disruptive. The input of others would be appreciated. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:07, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Shoy: I have trimmed and re-titled the section. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:35, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Shoy: WTTG, WTOP-FM, and WJLA-TV are all notable Washington media outlets; this was well-reported in the DC area. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:46, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@
WP:GEOSCOPE). If the New York Times picked this up, that would be something different. shoy (reactions) 20:50, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

@
WP:NNC. Anyway, there section is trimmed (until another employee from the city tries to delete it.) Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply

I have trimmed the content further - this singular event does not deserve an entire history subsection in this article on par with "19th century" and "early 20th century" history subsections that cover decades of the city's history. I have also removed editorializations and fixed factual inaccuracies - for instance, it wasn't the "Montgomery County Council" that criticized the film showing, but 8 members of it; it wasn't the City Council, but the Takoma Park Arts and Humanities Commission that hosted the film. Finally, the Mayor's response to the criticism is also now briefly covered. Even this amount of coverage of this topic is likely

assume good faith in other editors, let me be clear that I do not work for Takoma Park or even live there, and I don't have any strong feelings about this film that I have not seen. –Prototime (talk · contribs) 21:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply
