With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.

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.

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VanillaDazzle (talk • contribs) 04:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't accuse other editors of "intentionally" misrepresenting sources unless you can back that up with evidence.
I don't see a single source (reliable or otherwise) in your entire diatribe, and we're not going to change the article based on the insistence of some random person on the internet. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 12:44, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely Offensive Language

Why in the world does the article use the word f*ggot half a dozen times? That's a horrible word to use in describing a gay person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.239.236.37 (talk) 03:41, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Faggot" is only used when referring to his Dangerous Faggot Tour; we can't call it something else, as doing so would violate WP:CENSOR. SkyWarrior 03:45, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He is not alt right

The only relationship Milo has with the alt right is that they hate each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.200.122 (talk) 11:02, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS say otherwise. ValarianB (talk) 14:24, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's go with the RS

-- ForbiddenRocky (talk) 06:19, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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, 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.

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.2.243.123 (talk • contribs)

If he's written a book which has been published, then that's a reliable source from which to quote in context and with 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 verifiable and 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 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. Please sign your talk page posts with four tildes every time you make a reply. Many thanks. Edaham (talk) 04:22, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This does not satisfy the notability guidelines

Please place a notability tag on this article, I can not find one single article or document that warrant's this person inclusion in Wikipedia, this is ego stroking at it's worst, why not include my next door neighbour, or his next door neighbour. Think seriously about what value including this strange person will contribute to society, unless of course Wikipedia does want to include every human being in the planet.

don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes when you leave comments on talk pages. Also, Wikipedia has a page here, which will help you understand the requirements for inclusion in the encyclopedia based on notability. Edaham (talk) 01:00, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 August 2017

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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. Thanks for understanding. 2600:6C58:7F80:34A:8CA1:9E60:ECCF:92C4 (talk) 05:40, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

N No consensus for the change, there is open discussion above, feel free to join it. Also please read WP:PER, your request should probably be more specific Saturnalia0 (talk) 05:47, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 4 August 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Milo Yiannopoulos. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The following sentence is irrelevant, misleading information as the book referenced was/is not available for sale in the country referenced:

"In spite of this, the book has only sold 152 copies in the UK. [201][202][203]"

Please remove the sentence completely. 82.32.103.16 (talk) 15:49, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
