Discretionary sanctions alert - gender and sexuality

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Just letting you know about the stricter rules for gender and sexuality related topics on Wikipedia. Don't worry, it's just a standard notice that has to be given and you've not done anything wrong. Sideswipe9th (talk) 22:31, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Hungarian Spectrum

Is the eulogy for the founder of the blog encyclopedic content?--176.77.136.98 (talk) 08:14, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

An obituary might occasionally be a reliable source, but usually is not. If it is published in a major and reliable source (e.g., the New York Times) and is written by a reporter who is not personally connected to the subject, then it likely would be. However, most obituaries are user-submitted paid content that is essentially an advertisement as far as reliability is concerned. In that case the obituary might be an okay source for a few, very specific things (such as that the date of the individual's death), but even in those cases there should be better reliable/unbiased/independent sources that can be used.

You mistakenly removed a direct quote from this referenced article. It's not OR. Here it is in full: As a final note, I want to tell you that I’ll donate the prize money associated with this award to the Hungarian Spectrum, an online English-language publication that provides daily updates on Hungarian politics. It renders an important service by exposing to the world what Prime Minister Orban is telling his own people. It deserves to be better known and supported. --Azure94 (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

The quote describes Hungarian Spectrum, it does not provide an explanation behind the choice to make the donation to that organization, and presenting it as the explanation is OR. The quote was also modified in ways that were OR. Paisarepa 18:52, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

So you're saying there was no reason given whatsoever? That's an really bizarre reasoning, which can only be achieved if you intentionally ignore the part where spelled out why he's giving it to the site. Azure94 (talk) 17:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
