Page you were editing: Christopher Hitchens (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: The article includes a quote from one of his speeches in which he states "anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my ass." As is audible in the source video and in the captions for the video, Hitchens clearly says "ass" rather than "arse". Unfortunately, the article currently misquotes the source, saying "arse" rather than "ass". Moreover, the citation states that the quote is stated at 2:40 in the video, when it's actually stated at 2:45. I was attempting to correct both of these errors.
