Missing Coverage of her views on Freedom and Openness in the Wikipedia

Irrespective of where one stands on the issue of polls and politics, the article is missing her work on removing material from the Wikipedia. In her own public words: https://www.racket.news/p/how-americas-accurate-election-polls — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.8 (talk) 08:17, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She did not remove any material from Wikipedia. If she did, she would likely have been blocked. Ymblanter (talk) 08:52, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OP seemed to mean the content was removed indirectly Tonymetz 💬 00:04, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tonymetz correct, thank you. 105.129.227.113 (talk) 22:40, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this point ought to be included in the article; specifically the allegations of bias in the designation of reliable sources on Wikipedia to bias in favor of liberal sources. Is it possible without violating BLP? Of course should be included in context. A Tree In A Box (talk) 07:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

make the changes and link to this discussion. Keep your eye on your watchlist as reversions will be swift. Tonymetz 💬 19:19, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
