Hi @YodaYogaYogurt154, I've removed the three maintenance tags you placed for these reasons: 1. WP:DOB says A verified social media account of an article subject saying about themselves something along the lines of "today is my 50th birthday" may fall under self-published sources for purposes of reporting a full date of birth. It may be usable if there is no reason to doubt it; 2. getting flak seems an appropriate paraphrase of Variety's As her TikTok following grew even larger, the tide of public opinion began to shift. People on the internet unearthed old offensive tweets of hers, and before she knew it, Wolk found herself shunned—but feel free to offer alternative phrasing; and 3. WP:ABOUTSELF allows self-published sources for neither [an] unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim, which this appears to be. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 15:09, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wolk's Twitter

[edit]

As far as I can see, the account Ivy Wolk has been using (@ wolktress) has been shut down. The citations that use tweets are likewise inaccessible now, and should be replaced.

Additionally, the "Public Image" section includes many (perhaps too many) quotes from journalists describing her twitter style, which skews positive. Wolk has been documented as tweeting racist, sexist, and other offensive sentiments; now that she has received a lot of media attention the twitter account is conveniently gone. I find it concerning that the article is portraying her in such a positive light. ChthonicSweetie (talk) 05:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two references are to Twitter. There are archive links. We should follow the sources, and it's true that coverage of her is predominantly positive and sympathetic. If there are any newer sources which include different views, we can include those views. —Alalch E. 19:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
