1370421431 2026-08-21T01:45:05Z AlfredOswin Cofnas made the joke before, not "later" after Arday's death.

1370301176 2026-08-20T08:47:52Z Guybas The term "hereditarianism" is precise, neutral and safe. The term "scientific racism" is vague, hostile and unsafe (e.g. potentially inciting to harm the labeled person). WP:NPOV WP:BLM

1370157358 2026-08-19T12:24:29Z Midnightblueowl Avoiding opening the article with one long paragraph. The lead should summarise the wider article.
1370151183 2026-08-19T11:30:11Z Kiwibaggins /* Academic career */ It's not about a man's death is mentioned so another man's social media opinion should be. Cofnas makes numerous social media statements but his Wikipedia page doesn't require listing them. There is no evidence of any direct threat to him at the rally, or that any expression of violence was made about him at the rally. His opinion of a rally held for someone else isn't noteworthy enough here.

1370150837 2026-08-19T11:27:08Z Handsome Ellis Just to reiterate previous restoration rationale: If another's person's passing merits a mention here, Cofnas characterising the person's vigil with thousands of attendees as a "hate rally" against HIM specifically deserves a mention as well.
