Vandalism

Vandalism. There has recently been vandalism from anon IP addresses. I suggest that Rowson's page is semi-protected from now on. Thanks to @Daniel_Case the page is now seemingly semi-protected. NoPolymath (talk) 19:55, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could we please leave the section headers as they are.
Eg. The latest change "Cartoon of Richard Sharp" is actually not a cartoon of Richard Sharp, it is one of Boris Johnson, and Sharp is only *part* of that cartoon. Therefore to call it "Cartoon of Richard Sharp" is inaccurate.
The original title of that section, Antisemitic cartoon, make more sense, overall. NoPolymath (talk) 22:00, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point. But no-one seems to be getting worked up about the caricature of Boris Johnson. How about 'Caricature of Richard Sharp'? Or 'Cartoon involving Richard Sharp?' I disagree that 'Antisemitic cartoon' is accurate, as there is no report that this was the intention.

1. The cartoon of Sharp is full of antisemitic imagery, and Sharp is Jewish, therefore it relates to antisemitism.
Johnson, on the other hand, is not Jewish therefore, this issue is not particularly focused on him.
2. Publishing grotesque pictures of Jewish people is antisemitism. It is as simple as that.
Eg.

https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn542390
3. The Sky News links shows a blown up version of Sharp’s representation. Note the disfigured face, nose and lips, etc. I suggest everyone studies it and think more deeply of the implications.

PS: Racism does *not* have to be intentional to be racism. NoPolymath (talk) 22:22, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PPS: Reverting to original text, as the author of the cartoon has *admitted* the antisemitic overtones in the cartoon.
Therefore, it makes sense to impartially characterized it as such, as the author admits it.

I've made a minor adjustment which hopefully all editors will agree with, regardless of their views on the cartoon, or on Martin Rowson.
'Rowson apologized on Twitter for publishing in the Guardian a cartoon of Richard Sharp with strong antisemitic overtones'
is definitely preferable to the original text which read...
Rowson apologised on Twitter for publishing a cartoon in The Guardian with strong antisemitic overtones of Richard Sharp'. Axad12 (talk) 03:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cartoon involving Richard Sharp

@NoPolymath: I disagree with your change. Your wording makes a judgment about the cartoon which Wikipedia editors should not be making. You have said that the cartoon is not just about Richard Sharp, and you are correct that it is mainly about Boris Johnson. So your change does not make sense.

And your wording strongly implies that Martin Rowson is antisemitic, which is potentially defamatory. This is a WP:BLP and you should be more careful. Sweet6970 (talk) 22:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see above. He has admitted his error as such. NoPolymath (talk) 22:34, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
