The following article says she worked for the Post twice:
Washington Post fires reporter in center of online battle -- Pemilligan ( talk) 13:31, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
The article, as it currently stands, states, “The matter began when fellow Post reporter Dave Weigel retweeted a sexist joke, which Sonmez criticized in a tweet of her own.” I can’t access the NYT article, so I’m wondering if it’s WP voice starting Weigel’s joke is “sexist”, or if the source states the joke is sexist. Can anyone help if this language is used in the source? —- Kbabej ( talk) 05:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Bearing in mind Wikipedia's advice to be editing in good faith, I went through the article's edit history looking for clues as to why this has not been deleted yet (something suggested within 2 weeks of it going live for clearly not being notable enough) and found it has attracted interest of two notorious mass-editors, namely Philip Cross and Ser Amantio di Nicolao (so notable you can Google them). I suspect there are reasons why this is on and will not be removed anytime soon that will become apparent with time... 211.244.121.120 ( talk) 13:12, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Editor “Sdkb” on their profile page say they are a journalist and specialize in Wash DC. Sonmez meets those same characteristics. I’m just wondering where one draws the line considering someone, or not, a “connected party”? Just my two pinches of salt. 121.131.38.1 ( talk) 17:25, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi all! Felicia here. I'm writing to request a few corrections to the page.
1) The page currently states:
"Felicia Sonmez was an American journalist."
Not sure why the past tense is being used here, but I'm still alive and I'm still a journalist!
2) The page currently states:
"She began her career as a foreign correspondent in Beijing. In 2010, she joined The Washington Post as a political reporter."
Actually, the order here should be reversed. I began my journalism career in Washington and later became a foreign correspondent in Beijing.
3) The page currently states:
"Sonmez was teaching English in Beijing when she began writing for Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun.[2]"
It would be more accurate to say I "began working for" the Yomiuri Shimbun. I worked for the paper (assisting its journalists) but did not write for them.
4) The page currently states:
"She later was a foreign correspondent in Beijing for Agence France-Presse and an editor for The Wall Street Journal.[1][3] She joined The Washington Post as a political reporter in 2010.[1]"
The chronology here should be reversed as well. I first joined the Washington Post in 2010 and later worked in Beijing as a foreign correspondent for AFP and then as an editor for WSJ. I rejoined the Post in Washington in 2018.
Many thanks! Felicia

retweeted a sexist joke, which was also changed a few hours ago, per prior discussion above.
She began her career teaching English in Beijing. Could you provide a source for your earlier career in D.C.?
The content of this article, as of right now, consists of a summary of her biography and career, including some notable social media scandals. This is relatively normal; however, I note that her entire life and career are covered in eight sentences, whereas the social media scandals are covered in three full paragraphs (indeed, the bulk of the article). Of course, one could say that she sought (and achieved) notoriety through scandal, but it nonetheless seems rather disproportionate to me -- after all, she spent many years being a journalist, and comparatively little time being a centerpiece of social media discourse. jp× g 22:24, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
She retreated a joke she *considered* misogynistic.

Isn't the timeline of events in the Dave Weigel incident out of order? Or perhaps the text is just misleading. It seems to imply that the first event was her firing after criticizing Weigel, and then later he apologized and was suspended, but I believe he apologized almost immediately and then she was fired later after attacking him and her employers for 3 days on social media. 118.6.228.36 ( talk) 08:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
