Section sizes in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard
I've been lurking here quite a while, and today started a new section but then on reflection, deleted it. Diff
I want to make editors aware of declining standards of Reach plc's local UK titles, but I appreciate that RSN isn't the place for general discussions of reliability that aren't related to specific contexts (I did include a couple, but overall I was talking generally). If any experienced editors are willing to take a look at the diff and give me feedback I'd be grateful. I feel like the potential for misinformation ending up in Wikipedia is high, but not sure the best way to address it. Orange sticker (talk) 13:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry this talk page doesn't get a lot of traffic. Your should re-add your diff to the main board. It's always helpful to include context, but if you just looking for advice or general feedback that's also fine. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested«@» °∆t°14:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking of manually archiving the Al Jazeera section later today, as discussion appears have moved on to starting a RFC and the board is creaking at the seams. Moving 200k into the archives would bring it back to just buggy not broken. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested«@» °∆t°14:32, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We generally want the same bits of information for each source, so I am wondering if we could Wikipedia:Preload some of this. It could say something like:
Exact text you want to add, remove, or change in the Wikipedia article: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
Why you think this source is/isn't reliable for this statement: I think this is a reliable source because...
Do you think that would help editors, especially folks new to this noticeboard, organize the information that they need to provide? WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't anyone have anything to say on whether or not the Investor's Business Daily is reliable?
You should post this to the main page, as it's a question about the reliability of a source. This talk page is for discussions about the main page, and few editors check it. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested«@» °∆t°20:07, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
