"responsible reporting guidelines "

Can you help me understand what Wikipedia policy you are using with regards to {{tq|per esponsible reporting guidelines }} in this ↗ edit summary. On the whole I agree with the changes being made, but not all of them. Thanks <span style='color:DarkOrange'>'''Tigger'''</span>'''Jay''' <span style="font-size:85%;color:Purple">(talk)</span> 00:00, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

:I am not referring to a wikipedia policy and apologize if that was misleading. I was referring to journalistic guidelines often followed by mainstream media outlets. You can google "journalistic ethics mass shootings" or similar phrases and find many similar guidelines from different institutions with the aim of reducing copycat shootings. Our algorithms are all different but the first one that comes up for me is https://ethics.journalism.wisc.edu/2019/12/12/when-coverage-is-what-they-want/. These guidelines including emphasizing the lives of the victims, decreasing emphasis on the perpetrator, and not simplifying or speculating extensively or at all about the motives of the shootings.
:I found it extremely disturbing to go to the Wiki page of a mass shooting that has been billed as a copycat shooting and to find rhetoric, including an extensive biographical indexing of the perpetrator and weapons used while not even naming the victims in many sections, and no biographical or humanizing information on the victims, that feeds the idolization of and fascination with perpetrators in both our broader culture and in deeply disturbed online subcultures, and encourages copycat shootings.

OR

I saw some of your edit summaries about "Wikipedia is not original research and statements should be cited", and I thought I'd drop a friendly note here to say that the definition of Wikipedia:Glossary#Original research ↗ is a bit confusing. Uncited content isn't necessarily OR, and OR isn't measured against only the cited source. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:20, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for the note. From further reading, it seems OR refers to linkages or causalities being proposed or implied that are uncited, and citation needed tags are more suited to referring to "self-contained" facts that are uncited. I'll use that lingo accordingly going forward... :) Seven77seas (talk) 22:51, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
::OR is anything that ''cannot'' be properly cited, no matter how hard you try. The most popular way of violating the policy, as you say, is linkages or causalities being proposed or implied, though technically having a citation doesn't prove that the citation supports it, and not having a citation (or having the wrong citation) doesn't prove that it ''cannot'' be cited properly by some other source.
::For myself, if I remove uncited content, I usually just say something like "uncited". If I believe it's wrong, then I have been known to use "WP:CHALLENGE ↗" as the edit summary. It's probably seen as being a little more aggressive, but I think it makes the point clear: Don't put this back unless you've got a reliable source. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:59, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia ↗. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at :Talk:Lesbian ↗, is considered bad practice ↗, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page ↗ to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Chess enjoyer ↗ (talk) 07:50, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

:If you'd like to archive discussions instead of deleting them, you might find this page ↗ useful. Chess enjoyer ↗ (talk) 07:52, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you. Archiving is what I was aiming to do. Seven77seas (talk) 07:58, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
