"Many developers recommend"

Latest comment: 1 year ago5 comments3 people in discussion

I've corrected this claim as neither of the two referenced sources makes that claim (nor do I think they're reputable enough to cite without their own source). This means at best we can say that two developers say this. I'll check whether they even are notable developers next or if this boils down to "two bloggers recommend". --92.76.195.57 (talk) 19:15, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think they're first and foremost tech bloggers, no authority as developers. I'll adjust the claim even further. --92.76.195.57 (talk) 19:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I was going for "some tech bloggers" or "some people" and noticed how inconsequential that sounds. This is no claim at all and I don't know why it's even on the page and will remove it altogether. --92.76.195.57 (talk) 19:38, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Clicking on the author's names of those two references, both of them say they are developers, not "tech bloggers". The site "dev.to" claims to have an "editorial team", and "onmsft.com" claims to have a paid writing staff, which at first glance seems to be at least a little bit more reliable than a typical blog. (Such as, for example, developer Keith Dechant's blog, which also recommends installing both).

Would somewhere near Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources be a better place to discuss whether those are reliable sources? --DavidCary (talk) 06:39, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm completely open to have this discussed at any and all places if need be, including that one, provided that enough unbiased people will perform this discussion. I don't have a stake in this and just want to reach a factual base without fluff marketing or fandom. --2003:C9:4702:B000:753C:E2DF:178F:C435 (talk) 16:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
