The one piece of legislation this politician will be noted for is its violation of the Geneva conventions of allowing men to be incarcerated in women's prisons and based solely on self-declaration that these men are "women," which is a falsehood as nobody changes sex. He has gone on the record for doubling down in his support for his misogynist legislation. Let's hope an injunction halts this outrage. It is egregious to omit this outrage from his Wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.13.148.192 ( talk • contribs)
I am being reverted and I'm not sure why: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Scott_Wiener&oldid=1100802630
It seems like I am confronting editors who wish to water down this criticism. They cite "BLP", but as far as I know, I think that's invalid. It's the NYT, it's a non opinion piece, and it's a quote from a senior scientist from a federally funded alcohol abuse institute, saying the policy will cause harm. The reversion by "Avatar317" rehashed the criticism as the perspective of an "opponent". Either "Avatar317" does not know the difference between a partisan actor and the perspective of scientists who study this stuff for a living, or "Avatar317" was attempting to water down my edit, and cited a dubious rationale to justify it. My most recent edit removed the "opinion" quote that called it boneheaded (though even that is unfair, as a scientist's opinion is far more valuable than Wiener's perspective citing the "benefits of nightlife", but I have a feeling that will be reverted too, with a similarly confusing rationale.

document in a non-partisan manner what reliable secondary sources have published about the subjects(see WP:BLP). Wikipedia articles are not a means to "call out" anyone. Your comment above seems to be concerned with "righting great wrongs" via editing. That is not permitted. Schazjmd (talk) 15:12, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Wiener said the proposal could determine the viability of alcohol-serving venues that had been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that it was "absurd" that California had a "one-size-fits-all" closing time, while Paul Gruenewald, a senior research scientist at the NIAAA (NIH)-funded nonprofit Prevention Research Center of Berkeley, criticized Wiener's proposal as harmful, saying that the proposal was "boneheaded" and that research on the link between later trading hours and alcohol-related problems was “as close to black and white as we can get”. [1] While West Hollywood voted to approve later bar closing hours to take effect if and when the measure is approved by the state, [1] local leaders of cities adjacent to the proposed "pilot" cities said the proposal would nonetheless impact their communities; Los Angeles Councilman Paul Koretz said the proposal would lead to "more DUIs, more drunk driving injuries and more alcohol-related deaths here in Los Angeles, even though the extended drinking will occur next door in West Hollywood".
