I am new to Wikipedia. I am writing about the Section 'Imperialism and Monarchism'. Specifically the last 2 sentences in the 2nd paragraph. The second Paragraph refers to 'racialism'. The last two sentences are referenced by citation https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Winston_Churchill#cite_note-606 and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Winston_Churchill#cite_note-607 respectively. Citation 606 is to a BBC article which itself refers to many other articles and sources. The cited BBC article does not prove the sentence 'his negative views of Indian people in the 1930s were seen as extreme by political contemporaries', it refers to Gandhi and Indian home rule. The sentence also suggests 'ALL' political contemporaries rather than 'some' or 'many'. The last sentence in the 2nd paragraph, refers to 'forced sterilisation' and refers to a quote about 'race danger'. Citation 607 clearly shows this in used in the context of treatment of mentally ill individuals the first decade of the 20th century. It is NOT to do with any form of view of other races or imperialism and monarchism, as the paragraph purports to be about. These two sentences together provide a completely distorted view of the referenced material, and the second sentence should probably not be in that section at all.
