On politics and policy

For what it's worth, personally I think the subject of that article is a horrible person who should be in jail at the very least, but it's really important for the integrity of the project that we uphold policy at all times and for all subjects. There are thousands of clear-cut examples that I suspect could triple that article's length if they were all included; I don't think we should be spending effort on the ambiguous ones, particularly when it risks giving the impression of editor bias (like this one's inclusion in the wrong section). No dissuasion intended of course, just some insight into my approach that doesn't really belong on the article talk page. – NULL ‹talk›

For your reading pleasure...

Betsy, what a fine editor you are! You're not a trial lawyer by any chance are you? (and if not you should be). Anyway, besides your intelligence I noticed that you have a sharp sense of humor as well. I thought you might enjoy this: [1] Best, Gandy Gandydancer (talk) 19:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Gandydancer - that is hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing! Ivanka's very expensive white bag shows up so well in this picture [2]. Oh my! If they only knew how they really look. Also, thank you for your very kind words Gandy. Your encouragement and kindness mean a lot to me. Sincerely BetsyRMadison (talk) 19:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Killing of George Floyd are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 08:04, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Just a reminder, again, that personal opinion and discussion is not what Wikipedia is for. Same reminder as above, same article as above. [| This] is not productive. ProudOfYourMan (talk) 16:53, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
