This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it contains basic information about Spartacus Educational.

Southern Poverty Law Center

The mention of Elias's article seems unfair. "reproduces a host of conspiracy theories that first appeared elsewhere".... umm Wikipedia does that too! However neither Spartacus or Wikipedia "simply" do this. The site then goes on to describe the site as "very shoddy, not well-sourced". If you look at the Spartacus site the ONE thing it is "well sourced" it makes Wiki's "good article"'s look poor. If I compare it to a sample page of the Southern Poverty Law Center then its sourcing is off the scale. I have therefore removed this section entirely. Criticism is fine but it should have a hint of balance about the criticism. Please ping me if you would like to rephase this section. Victuallers (talk) 07:40, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The SPLC is a reliable source. Whether or not you think the cited material "seems unfair" is entirely immaterial.
Nobody is under any obligation whatsoever to furnish you with positive quotes in the name of "balance". Neither should you attempt to achieve this goal by inserting quotations from hobbyist internet forums.
What you are doing here is exceedingly obvious. Don't continue. Foxmilder (talk) 09:23, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
