Removing hyperlink to the article "Rape Kit"

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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

I cannot edit this article myself because it is semi-protected, however, I believe that the hyperlink to the article "Rape kit" in the Personal life section of this article should be removed.

The source cited immediately following the hyperlink, [410], does use the phrase 'rape kit'; however, the article describes it as consisting of "handcuffs, duct tape and a razor knife". This is not in line with the definition expressed in the Rape Kit Wikipedia article, "for gathering and preserving physical evidence following an instance or allegation of sexual assault."

I believe the hyperlink in this instance is misleading and should therefore be removed. Amyvich Pondovich (talk) 15:11, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done: I agree the link is misleading and the "rape kit" described here is not the type referred to in the Rape kit Wikipedia article.

Spielberg has ADHD

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Along with dyslexia, he has also mentioned having ADHD. Also, not that this matters, but he (probably, not confirmed) also has Asperger's. Albert Eisenstein (talk) 07:08, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done This statement is sourced in the body of the article so I personally wouldn't have put a citation needed tag in the lead, but since it's there and I suppose it's a potentially challengeable statement, I replaced the cn tag with your source.
