Should quotes about bigotry which don't specifically mention it be included?

A lot of the quotes on the war page only use words that I assume would be redirects. CensoredScribe (talk) 03:51, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Theme headings are not a word index, they identify the subject. At the same time, this generality is not license to include things that are not directly about the identified subject. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:47, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Instances of bigotry

The following quote by John Adams seems to be an instance of bigotry, rather than a quote about bigotry. Therefore I am unsure if it warrants inclusion on this page, insofar as this seems to be a collection of quotes about the topic, rather than examples of it.

• The Europeans are all deeply tainted with prejudices, both ecclesiastical and temporal, which they can never get rid of. They are all infected with episcopal and presbyterian creeds, and confessions of faith. They all believe that great Principle which has produced this boundless universe, Newton's universe and Herschell's universe, came down to this little ball, to be spit upon by Jews. And until this awful blasphemy is got rid of, there never will be any liberal science in the world.
  • John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson (22 January 1825).

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment - and this is a common problem we see in theme pages here. The page should really only include quotes about the theme, not an example of the theme (or a quote that happens to mention the title of the page, but is in fact not about the specific topic). ~ UDScott (talk) 18:34, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Very well. I have removed the quote. BurningLibrary (talk) 18:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
