I just went through the wiki page and I made some edits to remove the racist tone of the page.
I am a man of color too and there are so many other who use gab but calling it white supremacist extemist nazi website violate the basic principles of FOE as well as neutral point of view.
There are Facebook and Twitter pages full of Isis and islamic terrorist organisation White KKK type or Alt left communist so will you call them extremist and terror supporting am platform ? RuthlessKing16 ( talk) 16:58, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Please do not introduce inappropriate pages, such as Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2021, to Wikipedia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited.

@ InvalidOS Apologies, this was merely meant to be part of th April Fools. I see why the 2020 version should have been deleted however. RealSanix ( talk) 00:22, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi InvalidOS, Inre to
this, If this were any other page I would've reverted and it would've stayed reverted however seeing as it was an April Fools page I sort of thought no one would've cared what the title was or even about the page itself,
I agree it's ridiculously long but I didn't want to start an edit war over something so stupid as that especially on an extremely stupid page!,
Just thought I should explain that, Thanks, Regards, –
