Propagandists?

[edit]

Hi, John. Your idea of who is or isn't a "propagandist" seems rather wide, and most of your additions to the category have been reverted by other users. Adding Donald Trump and Steve Jobs is straight-out pointmaking IMO. Please discuss on article talk before adding this category again, and provide reliable sources showing that the article subject has engaged in propaganda or worked for organizations which reliable sources describe as propaganda organizations. The category isn't for making political points, which is the reason I've provided the alert about discretionary sanctions for American politics below. Note that it's for information only.

Hi Bishonen, that's fine. The perception of the term "propaganda" is itself biased, but I'm not looking for a debate. Behind closed doors, Trump and Jobs would be tickled pink to hear someone argue that they aren't propagandists. Your loss. Johnwk (talk) 20:22, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions for American politics

[edit]
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.  Bishonen | talk 16:15, 23 June 2016 (UTC).[reply]
