Hi Erik, I see you reversed my edit on the whitewashing page, describing my edit as a personal analysis. You are incorrect there, it wasn't. The nature of Heathcliff has had essays written on for decades, it is ambiguous (and more down to class) as any good English student knows, but articles written by such in Deadline are written from a particular point of view with an axe to grind and poor knowledge of the book (probably British literature in general). Yet that's where Wiki lays it's hat. I did have trepidation of even getting involved in such a lopsided page, I thought it would have it's guardians. I won't be making any more edits there.Halbared (talk) 15:31, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241207153100","author":"Halbared","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Halbared-20241207153100-Whitewashing_page.","replies":["c-Erik-20241207160100-Halbared-20241207153100","c-Erik-20241207162600-Halbared-20241207153100"]}}-->

Your edit summary here wrote, "Heathcliff is described in the novel has having varying features and possibly a Lascar, Spanish or American, it is kept vague depending on who is doing the describing". This was the explanation for removing the Deadline Hollywood content, right? Is that not a personal analysis, however educated it may be? Yes, it's a tricky topic, and it has gotten unsourced and badly-sourced listings that should be cleared out, and there will be edge cases to work through. When anyone edits, they have to expect their edit to be challenged. We can go through WP:DR if you want.

To follow up, it appears that the listing was unwarranted anyway because filming has not even started, so I removed it on that basis. If it is produced, though, and whitewashing still discussed in reliable sources, it can be relisted.
