Fake news sites

Yeah, it's that editor's normal "Clinton is Evil" schtick. She -- I believe that's the correct gender, but I can't recall why I think so -- was topic-banned from Jill Stein for the obvious campaigning, so switched to trying to achieve the same results from the opposite direction, notably on Clinton Foundation. --Calton | Talk 09:02, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Just leaving this here as a reminder, editors are expected to remain WP:CIVIL, even and especially when dealing with controversial topics and frustrating editors. TimothyJosephWood 15:54, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Agreed, Timothyjosephwood, and also agree with comments by Calton and Neutrality , thank you. Sagecandor (talk) 15:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thank you for patrolling/editing Pizzagate. It looks like r/The_Donald and R/Conspiracy has bled out into Wiki. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 16:06, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, thanks for your contributions. I just want to mention that you don't have to thank me for every edit you agree with. :-) --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Okay no problem, and thank you ! Sagecandor (talk) 22:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if you saw it, but this article has a lot of useful content, including this tidbit that might help with the scope issue: "Narrowly defined, “fake news” means a made-up story with an intention to deceive, often geared toward getting clicks. But the issue has become a political battering ram, with the left accusing the right of trafficking in disinformation, and the right accusing the left of tarring conservatives as a way to try to censor websites. In the process, the definition of fake news has blurred." --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Plastering a user's block all over Misplaced Pages might not be considered good form. Their pre-block comments hold just as much weight after the block. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:04, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
