Lead violates WP:LEAD and WP:NPOV

Swain has been involved in numerous controversies but you wouldn't guess this from the lead. Doug Weller talk 13:04, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Harassment because of views on Islam?

Why is this part in the section on Islam?

"In February 2015, Swain filed a police complaint after she received a package with lewd sexual contents and messages from an address in Portland, Oregon in retaliation for her op-ed.[79] She commented that she no longer felt safe on the campus of Vanderbilt University.[79]"

is this connected to her views on Islam? Is there any evidence?

Can someone please update my flawed Wikipedia page? It is woefully outdated, except for subtle word changes to diminish my accomplishments. Use my Amazon book page for an accurate listing of books.

Significant enough?

She recently wrote an editorial about the president of Harvard. Is it worth mentioning? (p. A15, WSJ,Dec. 18, 2023) 199.127.133.181 (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you. We updated the article with that content.--FeralOink (talk) 14:57, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Politically biased.

I notice a preponderance of poorly substantiated criticism of Dr. Swain throughout this article with little mention and any achievements or honors she’s earned. This to me smacks of heavy political bias against her. Why is this not addressed? 136.34.60.191 (talk) 09:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
