Mutesi

As I explained on talk, your edits violate the BLP policy. Do not continue to add that material to the article, unless you find a reliable source that says what you are saying (not a source from which you believe you can work it out).

Also, please note that the BLP policy applies to talk pages too; see WP:BLPTALK. Many thanks, SarahSV ^(talk) 21:45, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

If I say that Phiona Mutesi's world Elo rating for standard chess is 1622, as of 7 September 2016, and that the World Chess Federation normally requires an Elo rating much higher than that as a minimum qualification for their least title of Woman Candidate Master, in what way have I interpolated information that required me to "work it out" that something special was done so that Phiona Mutesi could have that title?

You keep changing what you demand of me. First, you challenge me to provide a reliable source. Then, when I provide one, you say that I'm disbarred, by Wikipedia's policy, from "doing original research." You demand that I find, and parrot from, an establishment journalist, rather than taking my relevant information directly from the original source.

The problems in meeting your demands are obvious.

First, at least in this particular case, a major part of the establishment media (Disney) hopes to profit in the near future from their movie production, The Queen of Katwe. That means any establishment journalist whom I'm likely to find will have an incentive not to post anything except what will conduce in favor of Disney's expected profits, upon the risk of losing his job if he posts anything else, truthful or not, relevant or not. You insist, then, that I consult only with sources that have a conflict of interest: between presenting relevant information about Phiona Mutesi with completeness and accuracy, on the one hand, and continuing to receive their paychecks, on the other.

Second, an establishment journalist is not necessarily any more competent than I am in doing original research. Your requirement that I content myself with parroting a middleman, and that I may not link directly to the original source, is itself suspect. The truth, obviously, is not Wikipedia's aim.

I don't believe that those details had not escaped your thinking. These NPOV and BLP policies get raised mostly as pretexts, so that you can claim to be justified in removing what you don't like. Jenab2 (talk) 00:38, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
