[edit]A Polite Suggestion
[edit]I really suggest you spend some time thoroughly reading Wikipedia policies including Wikipedia:Reliable sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. A source does not become magically reliable simply because it has gained more followers in a recent time period, especially if it gained those followers through a lack of adherence to Journalism ethics and standards such as by purveying false information, unverified information, or conspiracy theories that individuals within a particular movement desire to hear for tribalistic or ideological reasons.

- I respect your opinion, I don't however, agree with your analysis of Newsmax's content. I disagree with the notion that they are a disinformation and propaganda machine because that is a very subjective determination based on ones own personal views. The bottom line is that facts about fraud in the election are undetermined. This isn't just a movement, it is a very large portion of voters in this county. I also believe you are characterizing my motives as something they are not. I in no way want to put false information on wikipedia or change anything in any article that had been decided by consensus, however, I don't agree with omitting the allegations of fraud or universally deeming them as false information or disinformation. That will not be true until all the legal processes have been completed. If the courts decided that the election was done fairly (which I believe they will) then we can call all future coverage of fraud claims from any source as "fake news". Until then, I will respectfully disagree with your claims that they are spreading false information, disinformation, and propaganda. It is my opinion that your politics are getting in the way of looking at this election objectively from both sides and that is why you are quick to deem conservative news as unreliable. I have read the policies and will respect any decision regarding Newsmax that comes from a consensus because that's how wikipedia works. BlackBird1008 (talk) 18:27, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people.
