NPOV - nothing on his views on LGBT issues

Question on source

@Snickers2686: This Dallas Observer article is currently used as a source but I don't see anything about Kacsmaryk at the target link. Is it supposed to be a different link? Marquardtika (talk) 01:39, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Marquardtika: Hey, thanks for catching that. Yeah, when I initially clicked on the link I assumed it led right to that story, come to find out that it led to the homepage, but wasn't the link for the story I wanted. After refreshing the page I was able to find the correct link and updated it in the article. Thanks again! Snickers2686 (talk) 17:21, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, awesome, I figured something like that happened. Thanks for fixing it! Marquardtika (talk) 18:51, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the information about his early life?

Where was the judge born? Who were his parents? What did his father/mother do? Siblings? Early education? 2601:84:8900:130:4004:35D1:98AF:99FA (talk) 15:21, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

.Gov sources are appropriate, correct?

Reasoning: Biographical information is not inappropriate. Under Wikipedia Terms of Service, Section 4 Heading "Violating the Privacy of Others", bullet point #3, a user would be in violation of terms of service if there was an applicable law being broken in addition to the collective agreement of Wikipedia editors. There is no additional information provided about persons including but not limited to properly sourced information regarding individuals' state of health in past or present, place of residence or education, age, extracurricular activities and so forth. Furthermore, citation provided is from a .GOV-hosted press release intended for public release. No applicable laws or etiquette are being violated by using this citation. Using quotes from a personal blog, social media account, gossip tabloid, church website, school website and so forth would potentially be in violation of applicable law and, of course, Wikipedia general etiquette and terms of service.

Source (Bottom paragraph showing biographical information): https://web.archive.org/web/20190715160301/https://www.txnd.uscourts.gov/news/press-release-judge-matthew-joseph-kacsmaryk JosephMifsudL0L (talk) 16:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even though that is a press release, it is still a primary source. But, this is a secondary source with similar information. https://abc7amarillo.com/news/local/new-us-district-judge-appointed-to-amarillo-division-of-northern-district-of-texas Furthermore, this information being part of a press release by the government certainly indicates that it is no secret. starship .paint (exalt) 15:03, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sourcing is sufficient here, but per WP:BLPNAME, I don't see any reason to include the names of his minor children. It's not key to understanding the article subject. Saying he has five children, along with the given sourcing, is fine. Marquardtika (talk) 22:10, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I’m fine with that. I remember seeing some information about a stillbirth on top of these 5 children and we should probably add that. starship .paint (exalt) 23:21, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a few links regarding stillbirth and second/third child pregnancy complications. There's a few PDF sources that list parents and date of birth/death but it didn't give a lot of context and were not official documents so I did not include those. I believe they were from a publication that lists still births that month or week.

Nice article by Caroline Kitchener:

"Five smiling children, ages 6 through 15 — and then Tyndale, on the end, stillborn."

Second child Reagan had complications after birth, some may argue this is already difficult after losing 1 and could create an environment at least tantamount to spousal bias if not paternal bias:

Just read WP:BLPNAME. I think those terms are reasonable. Caroline Kitchener did a fine job at summarizing the stillborn with similar ethics in the Washington Post article in my comment above but lung complications with the other child (R. Kacsmaryk) have not been summarized online to my knowledge. In the event of no available summary online from a suitable source I'm assuming that is left out.

Page 7, search "KACSMARYK" in newsletter regarding neonatal death and birth information:

We’re not going to use blogspot or obituaries but WaPo should be fine. starship .paint (exalt) 06:27, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who added smack talk about the Texas Review of Law and Politics?

Unsourced misrepresentation of the Texas Review of Law and Politics, an official publication of the UT Law School. "which is not the main law review at Texas but rather a conservative ideological publication" https://law.utexas.edu/publications/journals/texas-review-of-law-politics/

Please eliminate the quoted material 50.0.36.48 (talk) 19:20, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I toned down the material to "...where he was an executive editor of the explicitly conservative legal publication the Texas Review of Law & Politics". It is certainly worth noting from a NPOV that this is a publication which describes itself explicitly as being conservative and political in nature. StereoFolic (talk) 11:49, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And someone's now removed the wording "explicitly", I guess his klan defenders will continue the whitewash.

disclosures

Is it worth creating a separate section for disclosure issues? (e.g., the law review article, as well as new reporting on undisclosed interviews and stock holdings) Die Kunst Der Fuge (talk) 21:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
