GoyimTV is back up[edit]

I wasn't sure if it was appropriate or not to add goyimtv.tv or goyimtv.com to the external links section. I'll leave that decision to wiki editors more experienced in this topic area. Grorp (talk) 01:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely appropriate. Wiki doesn't censor. TomWaterson (talk) 00:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As of April 13th, 2023 it is currently down again. I could speculate their provider TerraHost took it down after a user commented about it on their Twitter page. The website now says 'The requested URL / was not found on this server.' while this info came from sitechecker.pro --Lion2Ya (talk) 04:37, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GDL leader Jon Minadeo falsely listed as "comedian and actor"[edit]

This is my 1st Wikipedia edit, so pardon me if I did something wrong.

Jon Minadeo is listed in the last sentence of the 1st paragraph as a "comedian and actor", but when you go to his Wikipedia page there is no such mention. It's also not mentioned in the cited source for that block of text ([2]). I assume someone from the organisation added this to make them look more favourable (or just trolling).

We should find a source to back up this claim or more aptly introduce him similarly to his personal Wikipedia page -- "antisemitic conspiracy theorist" or something of the sort. Prestiganya (talk) 01:05, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Prestiganya: Good point. It was in the first copy of this article (in 2019), allegedly sourced to IMDB which is considered a self-published source and not reliable. Looks like there are quite a few oddities in this article. I'll run through it and see what else I can do. Grorp (talk) 01:24, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I went further through the article, cleaning up some things... until I couldn't stomach the topic any further and quit reading. I'm sure there's much more that could be done with this article. Go ahead and try some edits. Welcome to Wikipedia. Grorp (talk) 03:22, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Middle georgia[edit]

Leader of gdl was recently arrested in Macon Georgia after spreading hate messages outside of local synagogue. His team is believed to have littered antisemitic notes around yards in Warner robins and Macon ga. 68.98.248.93 (talk) 19:40, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
