Re this para:
Critics say that many other claims that Geller has posted in her blog are outrageous.[73][110][111] For example, she has published articles that said black South Africans are engaging in a "genocide" against whites;[73][111][112] that argued the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, one of Islam's holiest sites, should be removed;[113] and that defended Slobodan Milošević and Radovan Karadžic, perpetrators of the Bosnian War and genocide against Bosnian Muslims and Croats, denying the existence of Serbian concentration camps and arguing that many Muslim war victims were murdered by their own people in order to bring condemnation on the Serbs.[73][114] She denies supporting Milošević but has expressed skepticism of some accounts of the camps.
Firstly critics say that many of Geller's claims are false/racist/intentionally provocative and many other, more specific, things, so describing them as 'outrageous' seems bland.
Secondly - the description of Karadžic and Milošević as "perpetrators of the Bosnian War" is strange and vague. Karadžic was found guilty of genocide iro of Srebrenica (Muslims), but was not even so charged iro Croats - though he was found guily of lesser war crimes against Croats. Milošević of course died while being tried.
Thirdly the section seems over-reliant on the primary source of her own blog - this is inherently iffy, more so given the contentious nature of the content. I am not able to access many of the 'atlas' refs, so was unable to fix. Pincrete ( talk) 18:47, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
The consensus is that lede should not cover Geller's views on small government, abortion and same-sex marriage.

"is known for her anti-Islamic writings"as we currently in the second lede sentence. She is far less known for her wider political viewpoints. If we are to pigeonhole her as "far right" - then we need to discuss those wider views (which are discussed by the likes of the BBC). However, as Geller is primarily known for anti-Islam - I would advocate sticking to that in the lede, and not opening up a wider analysis on her mainly non-notable viewpoints on other political issues.

I mean is having the first sentence in this section [2] be followed by like twelve reference tags really conducive to the article, and is it conducive to readability? The answer to both these questions is no.-- Phil of rel ( talk) 19:40, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
