[edit]
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 (including user talk pages) such as Talk:2021 Waukesha Christmas parade car rampage are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article 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.

- If you have specific proposals regarding changes, that's fine, but comparing two different articles isn't generally productive. Instead, articles should be evaluated against Wikipedia's policies and guidelines regarding what content is appropriate or how it should be worded. clpo13(talk) 19:48, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- why is it not "generally productive" and what does that even mean? Why do you constantly hide behind lies to justify what you do? Whatabunchofbs (talk) 19:59, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- Articles are frequently developed independently of each other by different editors, meaning they stand on their own merits. Articles should instead be judged by the aforementioned policies and guidelines (particularly those about verifiability and neutral point of view). I haven't been removing the discussion, if that's what you're accusing me of. I'm just giving an explanation for why it might have been removed. There have been a lot of people venting on this article without indicating clear changes they want made (which is what article talk pages are for; they're not forums or chat rooms), so everyone's a bit touchy. clpo13(talk) 20:09, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions, BLP, and sources
[edit]
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 articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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.
Please note that WP:BLP applies everywhere on Wikipedia.
If you are to put negative or controversial info anywhere on Wikipedia, it must be accompanied by a reliable source somewhere. Best practice is to include it with your comment. If it's in the article you're discussing, point to it. But you may not make unqualified claims about racial bias, criminal intent, etc. without reliable sources.
