A fact from Ortez Alderson appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 January 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the cremated remains of AIDS activist Ortez Alderson were thrown onto the South Lawn of the White House in the ACT UP Ashes Action of 1992?

There are sourcing issues in the "Personal life and legacy section".
"Film footage of Alderson speaking during a 1987 ACT UP meeting in New York, as well as footage of the 1992 Ashes action, appeared briefly in the Oscar-nominated documentary film, How to Survive a Plague (2012), which is dedicated in his memory along with others. The How to Suvive a Plague (2012) is a Wikipedia link and inappropriate as a source. IMDb is not a reliable source. -- Otr500 (talk) 21:05, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @Otr500. Have removed and replaced the citation after re-confirming that the film credits actually do say what IMDb said. Cielquiparle (talk) 21:36, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
