Discretionary sanctions notice for post-1932 American politics and gender-related disputes

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. 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.

Your talk page posts

Two points new users often don't understand. Article talk pages are not forums for discussion of the topic of the article (or for discussion of Wikipedia). If you wish to propose additional content, you need to show that there are reliable sources for it. See WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. We're a source-based encyclopedia. WP:NOR is also a useful read. Doug Weller talk 09:46, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Could you identify which talk page posts are problematic? I thought the purpose of article talk pages was for users to aid in improving the articles. That was my intent with all of my article talk page entries.Henry Hannon (talk) 04:13, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This one was reverted.Talk:Focus on the Family. Doug Weller talk 04:20, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll tone it down. Henry Hannon (talk) 04:32, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Racism

If you think our definition is wrong use the Racism article talk page showing how sources sat it is wrong. Although you won't get very far as the definition of racism has changed to include anti-semitism and Islamophobia. Doug Weller talk 04:18, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is Mexican a race? Henry Hannon (talk) 04:23, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's a red herring However the use of categories is complicated and as "Racism in the US is a parent category for Antisemitism in the US; we normally don't put an article in the parent category when it's already in the child," it's been removed, although not for the reason you gave but because the way categories work. I should have checked that first. Doug Weller talk 04:24, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see that edit by C. Fred. Either reason suits me. I need to find an indy source for the free grace attribute to reinclude it in the infobox, but I just don't see how anyone can call the church racist when it preaches the gospel to all people and is welcoming of all races, which can be proven by watching one of their YouTube videos. Anti-Semitic might be a true charge, based on its common secular meaning which doesn't have much to do with the Bible. Henry Hannon (talk) 04:30, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I actually looked hard for a source for free grace for either the pastor or the church and was pretty surprised not to find one. Doug Weller talk 09:14, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh, the sources are there, but they don't meet Wikipdia's standards. I get that. FWBC is polarizing and WP has to adhere to independent, reliable sources. Few sources that meet WP guidelines are going to present this church in an NPOV manner. Those few are out there, and I will find them. Henry Hannon (talk) 09:39, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020

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 such as Talk:Vomiting are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the 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. Thank you.
