Unreferenced Quote

What is the source of this quote: "after they sent accurate emails accusing him of behavior including sexism, bullying, drug use, abusing his position as chair of a hiring committee, and physical and sexual harassment".

The word accurate certainly changes the meaning, but I don’t want to change the article if the source of the direct quote can be identified.

@Phersh I have removed the unsourced quote. It can be added back if someone identifies where it came from. Squidroot2 (talk) 15:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Semitism on X/Twitter

I just added a small section on the above topic, citing live posts directly linked to Rectenwald's X/Twitter profile. If the citations are not up to snuff, please let me know how I can improve them! 24.147.23.241 (talk) 16:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, you need reliable secondary sources that have written about the Tweets and have described them as anti-Semitic. What you have added is original research which is not allowed. S0091 (talk) 16:48, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Would reddit posts discussing these primary sources be acceptable as secondary sources? Or blog posts? Or does it need to be from something more like a newspaper or non-profit organization? Lion&Mouse17 (talk) 18:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read through the links I provided as they should provide answers to your questions and WP:BLPSOURCES might be helpful too. I will leave you some additional information about editing Wikipedia on your talk page. S0091 (talk) 18:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
