Just in case it's still of interest to you[edit]
After posting this diatribe, I noticed your note in 2016 saying to let you know of any concerns. I had quite a few, but I'm guessing they're mostly in line with where you were coming from. Best wishes. 2603:3023:306:2C00:1422:EC21:364C:DC19 (talk) 07:19, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you[edit]
I was trying to edit it with what the academic consensus is on the subject.174.57.156.122 (talk) 02:54, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Kenosha protests[edit]
K.e.coffman, your reversion won't stand. I'll let someone else work on it, but these paragraphs are poorly written and have problems with POV both, suggesting that Rittenhouse shot the protesters without provocation and that he was in possession of an illegal gun, among other issues. These things have yet to be established by evidence in court, and even interpreting the videos for purposes of this article is questionable. I see similar comments above mine on the talk page, so if you can't achieve more acceptable wording, maybe an administrator should look at the problem. Pkeets (talk) 06:07, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for improving articles in August! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
A first for me today: a featured list (= a featured topic in this case) on the Main page, see Wikipedia:Main Page history/2020 August 21, an initiative by Aza24 in memory of Brian. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Nice work -- congratulations! --K.e.coffman (talk) 04:25, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. In case of interest: Rhythm Is It! - I expanded that stub on my dad's birthday because we saw the film together back then, and were impressed. As a ref said: every educator should see it. Don't miss the trailer, for a starter. - A welcome chance to present yet another article by Brian on the Main page, Le Sacre du printemps. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:35, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
