Dahl controversy edit
@Euor, with respect to this revert, can you clarify the text of the article so that it makes clear what if anything sensitivity readers have to do with this controversy? Otherwise it is not clear why this controversy needs coverage in this article at all (see also WP:COATRACK). Sandstein 14:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Will do. My first encounter with the concept of sensitivity readers was precisely from the Dahl story, and now Bond, so they definitely have something to do with it. Many of the articles mention how their use relates to the changes. I will make their role in this clearer.--Euor (talk) 16:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Euor, thank you. Until you do, I have removed the text, because as it stands it has nothing to do with sensitivity readers. Instead, it talks about changes to books that some people complain about. That, as such, has nothing to do with the topic of the article and therefore does not belong here. It should be covered in the articles about the books instead. Sandstein 23:41, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Controversies edit
I don't think Kate Clanchy's "controversy" was about sensitivity readers, rather that reviewers criticised her book. Maybe this belongs on a different page? LittleFranzl (talk) 14:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
