Edits Requests May 2025

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary.

I have suggestions for updating this page to include significant events in the organization's history. I work for WhiteHatWiki, a paid consultant to the Anti-Defamation Leagues. I am following the WP:COI policies. Thank you in advance for the review.

1. Please add as the fourth and fifth sentences of the sixth paragraph in the 2010s subsection of History:

In 2018, the ADL created an interactive database called the H.E.A.T. Map (Hate, Extremism, Antisemitism, and Terrorism) that is intended to display reported hate and extremism incidents across the United States. The tool allows users to filter incidents by location, incident type, ideological affiliation, and date range.^[1]

Why: Expands information about one of the organization’s core initiatives: monitoring hate and extremism

2. Please add as the tenth paragraph in the 2020s subsection of the History section:

In 2023, the ADL created the J7 Task Force, a coalition of Jewish organizations from seven countries formed to coordinate international responses to antisemitism. The group released a 2025 report that found an increase in antisemitic incidents in seven countries which have the largest Jewish populations outside of Israel.^[2]

Why: Improves the History section by including chronological information about the organization’s expanded global coordination efforts. BC1278 (talk) 17:03, 20 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Catboy69: Regarding your question about Johnson (2026), "Is this book notable enough to be cited here?", Johnson (2026) is carefully researched deserve to be mentioned somewhere in this article. Johnson is with Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.

Left of center?

Latest comment: 17 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Middle East historian Asaf Romirowsky described the organization as "left of center" politically.

This makes literally no sense with the CEO defending Elon Musk. I will quote our article on Twitter: "...following the October 2022 acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk for US$44 billion...Musk stated that his goal with the acquisition was to promote free speech on the platform. Since his acquisition, the platform has been criticized for enabling the increased spread of disinformation and hate speech and accused of becoming increasingly right-wing and catering to hate groups." Since this directly conflicts with the stated mission of the ADL, this article needs to be updated to account for this contradiction. You cannot both defend hate speech and the leading purveyor of such while simultaneously claiming you are attacking it. Words have meaning. Viriditas (talk) 02:51, 7 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
