Irrelevant information removal request on 19 September 2022

Hello, there are a few pieces of information on this page that are incorrect, such as [4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/wallstreetbets#cite_note-4) which refers to a separate incident of moderators being removed in 2021, whereas Jartek ("Jaime Rogozinski") was removed in 2020.

In addition, Jaime Rogozinski is truly irrelevant to the community, they were removed in January of 2020, before the community was particularly notable.

Source 1: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/wall-street-bets-reddit-jartek/ Source 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/fx5zwf/ladies_and_gentlemen_we_got_him/

As a result, mention of him should be removed from the introduction and infopanel.

Finally the infopanel includes information that is either irrelevant (Language: English) or out of date (Users should be updated to 12.6 million "subscribers" as opposed to "members").

Would it be possible to make these changes? Happy to provide any additional sources as needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:86E3:5D00:B586:DD2D:209B:EE10 (talk) 21:40, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Hate Speech based on RS

The discord server was terminated for 'hate speech", "glorifying violence", & "misinformation" and it is being widely reported as a haven for this activity in RS. This organization should be labeled as such in tags to reflect the consensus of reliable reporting and added to the growing list of banned content providers.

Its discord server getting banned does not prove that the subreddit in itself 'glorifies violence'. If you believe that that is the case, find reliable sources that back it up, because the ones you provided don't.

PS: Cope.

Surly Discord wouldn't be making the charges up to make purging controversial speech more convenient?TuffStuffMcG (talk) 02:49, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Surely they would and are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.43.14.99 (talk) 22:21, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

offensive material

@ButterCashier I'm not really looking to get involved in a debate about this, as this article is way outside the purview of my typical editing, but you're surely aware of WP:OM. The sources state that the term in question is used frequently, even before the others, so excluding it would be an artificial reduction of fidelity to the sources.

Hi. I don't see where "apes" is mentioned in the sources, still, three examples seem enough to me to get the point across, perhaps more than that is excessive; the order in which they are stated is irrelevant; it was not relevant enough in itself to warrant specific usage when the other examples provided enough meaning, in my view. Thus I deleted it. ButterCashier (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
