Reliable Sources

edit

Andrew's and Daniel's pipes are not considered reliable sources. These should be removed per WP:RS. Please remember our duty as WP editors is first to the users of WP who need actual and reliable info. NiceAdam (talk) 16:05, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

The editors have long considered the author to be reliable on the topic at hand. Jason from nyc (talk) 18:21, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
But, they don't pass the test of WP:RS. But professor Carl Ernst does. Why does someone keep deleting his references? I will provide reference from his book if that helps. This article also does not pass the NPOV.--NiceAdam (talk) 00:55, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Pipes has the appropriate degrees in this area, has published books over 4 decades, published articles, held academic positions, and is invited by reliable sources to give his opinion. Jason from nyc (talk) 02:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
The conservative opinions are both RS, and it is likely Carl Ernst is, but the quote you gave from him was not in the source given, perhaps the wrong url? Winner 42 Talk to me! 03:07, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Winner42:Thanks for feedback. Trying to understand how and when did these fringe publications became RS at WP? And, Huffington Post is not. And, a credentialed professor at a major American University is not.--NiceAdam (talk) 05:15, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Someone added yet another non-RS source: Andrew Bostom and Am Thinker. All three opinions praising the book are all non-RS citations need to be removed ASAP because these are fringe publications and the articles are written by non-experts. In addition, the NRO opinion piece is not even about this book.--NiceAdam (talk) 04:28, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
these non-RS need to be removed per wp:rs. No one has proven otherwise.--EddEnter (talk) 16:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sounds like we have a consensus to clean up misplaced praise.--JtThere (talk) 03:30, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Poorly Referenced Info

edit

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as an editor is doing. Thank you --EddEnter (talk) 16:21, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please explain. Jason from nyc (talk) 17:13, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
