Movement for a Better Hungary

I noticed you re-inserted a passage from Movement for a Better Hungary that constitutes a violation of WP:OR. Since edit summaries are insufficient to explain why it is a violation, I'll do so here.

You are attempting to forward the argument that sources criticising this politician for antisemitic remarks omit certain facts about her background. That may indeed be true. However, citing a bunch of articles that contain that omission is a direct violation of WP:OR, being an attempt at synthesis. Specifically, they violate the following rule:

Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources. This would be a synthesis of published material to advance a new position, which is original research. "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published the same argument in relation to the topic of the article.

None of the articles cited forward the claim that critics of this politician omit pertinant information. For this line to remain, a reliable source needs to exist making that claim.

This rule exists for a reason: while all the sources cited may omit that information, it may also be true that there are double the number of sources out there that DO NOT omit the information. That would make this original research invalid.

Also, in reference to your suggestion that I am attempting to "hide facts", please Assume Good Faith when editing articles or dealing with the edits of others. As with WP:OR, this is a central pillar of Wikipedia. Thanks. -- 198.169.65.1 (talk) 22:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
