Might be a good idea to have this page set up as protected for a few days. It's just getting spammed by anon and new account edits about her remarks. Apache287 ( talk) 16:51, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
The phrase which Morris used has been described by sources (all of the sources I can find) as racist, so that is what I have used in the article. Absolutelypuremilk ( talk) 18:01, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=DCfEhieX8F0C&pg=PT264 Some people genuinely are unaware of what it means, so someone competent at Wikipedia could add: The phrase refers to an African American hiding in your woodpile, you have not noticed him but you will when your wife gives birth to a baby with dark skin. Or your wood is being stolen. Or your slave is being smuggled north to Canada... Also African Americans were killed many ways other than lynchings. There are many photographs of mobs around a woodpile burning an African American. 81.158.89.81 ( talk) 21:37, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
The phrase is racist per se, as it includes 'nigger', which offends, though use of it might be quite innocent, as for example by an infant (or grandfather). Rothorpe ( talk) 13:14, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
I've replaced the term 'racist' with the more neutral phrase again, in line with Wikipedia's requirement that articles maintain a neutral point of view. The fact that it was widely disputed (and still is) whether the phrase she used was racist is enough to establish that 'racist' is editorializing (as it is in the BBC article that is cited, which of course is not a reliable source for the claim that the phrase used is racist). Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 16:32, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
It appears Cordyceps-Zombie is determined to insert non-neutral section headings. He keeps inserting the "nigger in the woodpile" idiom into the actual sub-headings and has done this on several occasions now:
First of all the "Controversy" section covers two incidents and "Controversy" is a standard section heading for this type of thing. There is no censorship here because her comments are fully documented in the article itself. Secondly, each incident does not require a separate section. MOS:PARAGRAPHS states short sections and single paragraphs do not generally warrant their own sub-headings. This is is not a large article and the information is easy enough to find. Along with this alteration it is beginning to look like agenda pushing. Betty Logan ( talk) 18:21, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
I have reverted several times Impsfan for adding content which is sourced from lists which mention Morris only in lists or original research WP:OR). Can someone else weigh in on this please? Absolutelypuremilk ( talk) 21:25, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I think that is fair comment from Betty. I'll remove the reference to the accommodation ownership sourced from https://www.theyworkforyou.com and use a non-slang version of 'Brexit'. WP:RS. Impsfan ( talk) 20:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
