== why does nothing talk about his computer password ==
== This article is not neutral ==
This article contains false information. Most notably, Milo is not associated with the "Alt-right." It's important to note that they originally intended alt right to be a right wing movement for youth on the right, different from the standard GOP, but alt-right got used by a white supremacist group. Now the right winged non-racial movement is not considered alt-right. Anyhow, the reference to Milo as alt-right should better reflect the fact that he is not racist.


There was a leak in which he had as his computer password The Night of Long Knives as well as the date the jwews got expelled from England....there is no mention of that in his controversies. [[User:Chefs-kiss|Chefs-kiss]] ([[User talk:Chefs-kiss|talk]]) 18:27, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Also, Milo is only opposed to THIRD WAVE feminism, not all feminism. Where you state "In February 2017 he resigned from Breitbart after a controversy arising from a video clip in which he said that sexual relationships between 13-year-old boys and adult men and women can be 'perfectly consensual,'" you intentionally misquote the age. He was 17 and that was above the age of consent. He was also talking about himself being the boy. The adult was in his 20s. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:VanillaDazzle|VanillaDazzle]] ([[User talk:VanillaDazzle#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/VanillaDazzle|contribs]]) 04:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Semi-protected edit request on 4 July 2017 ==
He did not graduate from either the University of Manchester or the University of Cambridge, he only attended briefly before being kicked out. His infobox listing these institutions as his 'education' seems in accurate because he did not complete a program of study at either. If you look at Bill Gates' infobox it specifies that he "dropped out" of Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg's does the same - I propose doing similar for Yiannopoulos and noting that he was removed from both.[[User:Boredintheevening|Boredintheevening]] ([[User talk:Boredintheevening|talk]]) 16:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

== Long quotations of Milo's views ==
There is an entire section in Milo's book (starting from page 39) where he repeatedly denounces the alt-right and refutes numerous articles written about him that associate him with the alt-right (including some publications which ForbiddenRocky has linked to). The Daily Stormer, which the "Alt-Right" Wikipedia page draws numerous references from to define the movement, [http://www.dailystormer.com/stormer-book-club-crusade-the-final-solution-to-the-milo-problem/ wrote an article] specifically denouncing Milo, called for a "Holy Crusade" against him, and referred to him as "the single greatest threat this movement has had at this time", "our archnemesis", and a "kike". In multiple instances in Wikipedia's article on the Alt-right, the movement is described as being antisemetic. This all despite the fact that Milo himself is Jewish. I would argue that it is improper to characterize a Jewish person as being involved with a movement that is clearly antisemetic, especially when this person has repeatedly denounced and distanced himself from this movement.


Why would we promote Milo's views in those long quotes, there is no need for more than what first two sentences express. Further, Milo is not "critic of Islam" to be categorized as such - his animus against Muslims expressed in million ways has taken privilege of being called "critic of Islam" from him long time ago. He is a bigot and Islamophobe, and it is unacceptable to put him in the same group as late [[Christopher Hitchens]], for instance, who genuinely belong to a group of Islam and religion critics with legit arguments. It should be explained why something gets reverted, that's the least we owe to each other. [[User:Santasa99|<span style="color:maroon;text-shadow:#666362 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;font-size:0.8em;">'''౪ Santa ౪'''</span>]][[User talk:Santasa99|<span style="color:navy;text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;font-size:0.7em"><sup>'''''99°'''''</sup></span>]] 14:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
The linked BBC article describes the alt-right as antisemetic and acknowledges that Milo has distanced himself from the movement without dispute. The Haaretz article is clearly an opinionated hit piece on Milo and for the sake of an unbiased encyclopedia article, should not be used as evidence that he is part of an antisemetic group. Finally, the Vanity Fair article merely uses the adjective "alt-right" to describe Milo in passing and does not provide any reasons for associating him with this group. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:173.2.243.123|173.2.243.123]] ([[User talk:173.2.243.123#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/173.2.243.123|contribs]]) </small>

:If [[wp:SELFSOURCE|he's written a book]] which has been published, then that's a reliable source from which to quote ''[[wp:contextmatters|in context]] and with [[wp:due|due weight]]''. It is not against policy, but you should use a high level of discretion when judging whether or not to quote from a primary source in a BLP. There's lots of sources tying him into the alt right. There's not as many distancing him from it. A sentence such as, ''"In his book <title> Milo denounces...etc"''. If it is included verbatim and cited, would probably be allowed in. Entire paragraphs or multiple references detracting from the currently cited sources, using a self-serving autobiography by the subject of the article, would probably not be acceptable due to [[wp:due]]. For people who don't own a copy of his book, you'll need to make your quote [[wp:v|verifiable]] and [[wp:CITEHOW|properly cited]] if you are using a hard copy. Note that such material would be included in addition to, not to replace the existing text, which is also verifiable and well sourced. The fact that they conflict can be mentioned in the article, but avoid language such as "although", "despite" and "in spite of" when including the text you want to suggest as this can give the article an unwarranted [[wp:pov|POV tone]]. All of the links in this article relate to what you want to include and you should familiarize yourself with them so as not to find yourself in an argument where other editors keep quoting policy at you.

{{edit semi-protected|Milo Yiannopoulos|answered=yes}}
Stating that Milo is associated with the Alt-Right is utterly false and slanderous. He has stated countless times that he has nothing to do with them, and the alt-right has stated themselves that Milo is one of their biggest enemies. Milo constantly denounces the alt-right, and the ideals for which they stand. I hope to see this false information duly corrected, because I like Wikipedia and want to continue to believe that this site has at least a shred of credibility and integrity.
