    The Queen of Versailles

    Is a documentary being used as a reliable source for claims bothe on its own article page and on David A. Siegel. I tried to explain that a film is a poor source when no transcript per WP:RS is provided, and even more so when it is used to make allegations about a living person committing a crime, as in the Siegel BLP. See , where the editor uses primary court documents to allege crimes etc. On the movie article also argues that a court decision is not a court record per WP:RS <g> (his edit summary is a court judgement is not a 'transcript of court proceedings' and is about a valid a source as you can possibly get)

    Will someone please tell that editor why court records are not used per WP:RS and WP:BLP, and why transcripts are used when a film is being cited as a source -- especially when it is being cited as a claim of criminal acts of a living person? Collect (talk) 19:09, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

    This is not quite correct and I have a worry about Collects interest in these pages. The documentary is being used as a source for the wikipedia page about the said documentary. I cannot believe a subject itself cannot be the soruce of info about that very subject. For example if the page was about a book it would be Ok to quote pertinent sections of the book especially if later litigation of importance occurs about that section. The claim that court transcripts are being used is laughable, they are not transcripts of who claimed what they are the Court judgement! You cannot get a much better source than a court judgement, for obvious reasons - the court have spent a lot of time considering the claims and have come to a binding legal decision. the WP guideliens say excercise care using court transcripts and rightly so, all sorts of claims will be made in a court case. It is the judgement that matters. To remove court judgements from Biogs would mean you couldn't mention any criminal act the person had ever done! 2.30.146.240 (talk) 19:47, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
    Just a word on using the documentary as a source about the documentary itself. WP:RS says "The word 'source' as used on Misplaced Pages has three related meanings: the piece of work itself (the article, book)....." In this case the 'piece of work itself' is the documentary. 1) It would be unreasonable to not allow references to the content of a movie in a wikipedia page on the movie by instisting on a full transcript of the movie. 2) The transcript would be a secondary source and so less relaible than the movie itself which is the primary source. 3) Often books are referenced as sources when the books are not available online. You would not insist that an online transcript of the book be provided instead. 4) it is just as easy to check the source when it it the documentary as it would be if the source were a book that was not online or was chargeable online - buy the book/documentary and go to the quotes section. In this case I have give the number of minutes into the documentary for each quote so it is quite easy to find and check. Lastly Collect can I ask you to declare any interest in these pages, commercial or otherwise? I have none and updated the pages after recording and watching the documentary on TV.2.30.146.240 (talk) 21:54, 5 February 2013 (UTC).
    Court transcripts are not to be used. They are primary source materials and hence not Reliable Source. The film (absent an available transcript) is not a reliable source, especially not for accusations that involve a Biography of a Living Person. Lastly, it is entirely inappropriate to suggest or imply that Collect has some sort of monetary conflict of interest. He is an active and longstanding editor who has a wide range of interests, particularly where BLP is involved. Your suggestion is a foul one. Capitalismojo (talk) 23:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
    (edit conflict)Wait - I don't understand. Is the question about the documentary or the court documents? Or both? Generally speaking, documentaries are considered reliable sources if produced by respectable, reliable sources. Transcripts are nice, but are not required by policy. Generally speaking, court documents should be avoided for WP:BLP material. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 23:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
    The discussion here is getting a bit confused. Nobody is wanting to cite "court transcripts" as far as I can tell. I thought the issue was whether to cite the judgment rendered by the court on a preliminary motion in a defamation action brought against the director of the documentary. In my opinion, there's a good secondary source about the court's judgment so no particular need to cite the court's decision directly. However, in general I have never heard of a Misplaced Pages policy prohibiting court decisions from being cited. I have edited a large number of law-related Misplaced Pages articles, and court decisions are frequently cited directly. A separate issue is the "Admissions" section in the current version of the article, which I deleted in this edit five days ago but has since been re-added by IP 2.30.146.240. I saw the film (The Queen of Versailles) and those are relatively minor scenes in which the so-called admissions take place. To write about them in the Misplaced Pages article just makes the article unbalanced, or in other words gives it undue weight. Also, when I watched the documentary, I got the impression that Siegel might have been joking about having illegally tilted the 2000 presidential election, and moreover that there was nothing illegal or immoral about buying back his own loan from a bank. Those are the reasons why, in my view, it's inappropriate to include those so-called admissions in the Misplaced Pages article. I believe that user Collect is making a different argument (that I do not agree with); Collect is saying that the film itself cannot be cited as a source for its own content, in an article about the film, unless a transcript is available. For completeness I will note that I raised this issue a few days ago on the BLP noticeboard. Hope this clarifies things. Mathew5000 (talk) 03:48, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
    The bar is on "court records" not just "transcripts" and in every case at RS/N, use of "court judgements" has been held improper in the past. And contentious claims (and I assume claims of illegal acts are contentious) require strong sourcing. A quote from a film for which no transcript exists is in that category. Collect (talk) 13:53, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
    As I mentioned, court judgments are used as sources all the time in law-related Misplaced Pages articles. As primary sources, court judgments are not specifically prohibited as a source on Misplaced Pages although secondary sources, if available, are preferred. Mathew5000 (talk) 14:53, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
    I think part of the problem here is the blurred line between verifiability (whether something is 'sufficiently true' to mention) and noteworthiness (whether something is sufficiently relevant to mention), an underappreciated concept.
    Court decisions are the best sources for verifying what they say explicitly, though potential problems with interpretation make it desirable to have additional sources that help with that. But the mere existence of a court decision can never establish noteworthiness. The general principle: If it's important enough for an encyclopedia, then someone other than the original author (in this case the judge) has written about it.
    Conflicts on sourcing tend to be phrased in terms of verifiability even when they are really about noteworthiness, as is the case in many BLP articles and seems to be the case here. Hans Adler 15:08, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

    I reject the idea that sourcing is automatically weak just because it is to a film without a transcript. I am not aware of any basis for this in policy or general practice, though as a written medium we obviously prefer to cite other written media where possible. Some editors may not be able to evaluate such a source, for example because they are deaf or hard of hearing or because they don't understand the language well enough. But that can happen even with our best sources, which may only be available in a few libraries, may require an online subscription, or may be written in a rare language. It only becomes problematic if a source requires too much interpretation or is accessible to too few editors. But that can happen with books as well and is certainly not a specific problem with the medium. Whether something said in a documentary can establish noteworthiness for negative information in a biography is a tricky question. I think that depends on the exposure that the documentary got and the amount of attention it gives to the negative information. Hans Adler 15:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

    Hopefully we've established above that court judgements can and are used as reliable sources, and that video does not require a transcript (and often is used eg newscasts to mention just one). Frankly I am amazed this has been questioned by Collect which is why I asked for any declaration of interest. I was not suggesting anything though I can see a request put that way appears so. I apologise if I did imply anything. But I would still appreciate the declaration. I do think my edits were being removed on spurious grounds. Noteworthiness is a very good point and a very different issue...2.30.146.240 (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

    We have established that primary sources are not supposed to be used for articles. We have also established that court documents are primary, not secondary sources. Capitalismojo (talk) 02:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

    FWIW and in response to the insinuations made: I have no interests whatsoever which could remotely be considered a "conflict of interest." I have stayed at a Westgate facility as a result of an RCI trade, which I do not think is remotely near a personal conflits at all. I have no connection with Siegel, or anyone associated with him, or with the film. Period. Now that that silly charge has been disposed of, it is clear that we would need an actual transcript of the film to assure that nothing is being misquoted or taken out of context, and that the "court records" are not allowed to be used in a WP:BLP. Cheers. Collect (talk) 16:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

    Nobody other than Collect has accepted the proposition that a documentary cannot be a reliable source for BLP information unless a transcript is available. WP:RS#Overview provides: “However, audio, video, and multimedia materials that have been recorded then broadcast, distributed, or archived by a reputable party may also meet the necessary criteria to be considered reliable sources.” The policy does not require the existence of a transcript, but says “an archived copy of the media must exist.” A DVD in a public library, or for sale to the public, would satisfy the archived-copy requirement. That being said, the insinuation of conflict of interest against Collect was preposterous. Mathew5000 (talk) 02:19, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
    UYou iterate charges of a crime - and WP:BLPCRIME requires lots better sources than you have provided. Also, others above also note that quotes taken out of context from a "documentary" are not a "reliable source" for contentious claims. Lastly - yu inserted synth in asserting that the number of votes was greater than the Bush "margin of victrory." The article can and must comport with WP:BLP whether you "know" Siegel is a modern Al Capone or not. Cheers. Collect (talk) 23:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
    Collect is referring to this edit to the article David A. Siegel. There is no charge of a "crime". The quotation is adequately sourced. There is no synth (see the Orlando Magazine article). Mathew5000 (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
    And I assert "This may have been illegal" is precisely the sort of claim which requires strong sourcing per WP:BLPCRIME. And that you seem hell-bent on making such a claim based on a HuffPo opinion column and film reviews does not bode well for such a claim. Even if Siegel were Al Capone, WP:BLP still applies. Collect (talk) 00:59, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    First, kindly cease insinuating that I compared Siegel to Al Capone, or that I in any way implied Siegel is a criminal. Nobody (other than you) has mentioned Al Capone here. Second, please step back and think about what you are doing with edits such as this. The particular quotation that you removed appears in The New Yorker, The Independent, and several other cited sources, but you removed it because Siegel originally said it for an interview in a documentary? That is not Misplaced Pages policy. Mathew5000 (talk) 05:00, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    No, it certainly is not Misplaced Pages policy -- and the sources you are producing go well beyond what is needed for inclusion here. I think the reversion of your addition is quite inappropriate. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 09:19, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    Do others agree? It would be helpful to get additional views on these two edits (, ). Mathew5000 (talk) 09:48, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    If the quotation is given verbatim in those newspaper sources, we can treat them as reliable, and the matter is clearly notable also. So, if Siegel were dead, it would be proper to quote the words, citing those sources. That's as far as this board should go. Since he is alive, BLP (specifically BLPCRIME) decides what we do.

    Sources for America's Next Top Model: All-Stars

    I would like generic opinion on these sources. The conversation on the talk page was not sattisfactory to me. So placing my comments here
    Sources -

    • - I am uncomfortable with these sources. These are all obvious blog or blog like articles
    • - These are blog entries by someone on Boston Globe and many editors are using this as a reliable source. The same applies to this LA times article which is actually a blog entry and is being promoted as a reliable source as it is on LA times.

    What I would like to understand is, can such sources regarded as reliable? Or is there some generic exemption for TV series as stated by editors in the talk pages. I have also linked MOS for TV series in the talk page every body is getting quite agitated about this. -Wikishagnik (talk) 02:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

    Those sources are poor. America's Next Top Model as a whole is undoubtedly notable. For whether each separate series is notable, refer to criteria of WikiProject Television. Appropriate sources for an article like this include: the shows themselves for factual information about content; listings magazines for when the shows were shown in different countries and on which channels; entertainment magazines for how they were received. Itsmejudith (talk) 06:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
    The CW source is fine for factual information that the shows are being premiered; we can assume the network is a reliable source for its own schedule. The next two sources are blogs and do not meet WP:RS. The next 3, though, all seem to be legitimate. If you look at WP:NEWSBLOG, you'll see that "blogs" on newspapers can be reliable sources, so long as there seems to be editorial oversight. The truth is that many online newspapers have simply taken to using the word "blog" for what they would have, in print, called a "column" because it sounds more contemporary. So I think those are fine...however, with those particular blogs, we have to be careful only to use the factual info, as they also contain a bunch of opinions, and I'm not opinions would be of due weight to deserve inclusion. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    Actually WP:NEWSBLOG states that These may be acceptable sources...but use them with caution because the blog may not be subject to the news organization's normal fact checking process. Have you ever heard of a retraction by a newspaper over what has been published in a blog? I thought the papers isolate themselves from these. Moreover, If Boston Globe is using blogs instead of columns then what about this column by John E. Sununu and this review by Matthew Gilbert of a TV series. Yes, the site asks you to pay for the content of the second article but that is an issue that can be resolved at the Reference Desk. My point is surely these columns which are a part of the actual paper and do cover media and television are also valid columns. The same questions about this article by Neil Genzlinger. I believe both papers have separate sections for blogs and columns. The article relies exclusively on these sources and No, I don't see any reliable sources for the episodes in question. Please advise... -Wikishagnik (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

    British Medical Journal imprint, "Tobacco Control," on one way how big tobacco has affected society.

    The article ‘To quarterback behind the scenes, third-party efforts’: the tobacco industry and the Tea Party is from a peer-reviewed BMJ Group journal with editorial oversight. It finds that the Tea Party movement was formed by non-profit organizations that were in turn founded and funded by the tobacco industry and other corporate concerns.

    There have been concerns raised at Talk:Tea Party movement that the article violates WP:OR for it's own research, that it fails WP:BLP for making contentious claims about a group, that it's phrasing violates WP:WEASEL. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

    It's not peer-reviewed for content. There are a number of journals published by professional academic organizations I belong to which are almost entirely political. This seems an excellent example. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    It doesn't violate BLP; it has been asserted that the article doesn't say that, even though the abstract does; and it looks WEASELly. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:54, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    Pretty strange. While a lot of scientific journals have some political back-and-forth in letters or the like, this appears to be a normal article in this journal. The operative statement from the conclusion appears to be "Rather than being a purely grassroots movement that spontaneously developed in 2009, the Tea Party has developed over time, in part through decades of work by the tobacco industry and other corporate interests." which is pretty weakly phrased. I don't think this falls under WP:OR, and the phrasing of the article does not seem that unusual for a public health journal. Depending on how it's being using in the article, a brief mention might not be undue. (Also, looking at their methods section makes me wish I could get published just for googling things in my field). a13ean (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    Also, Arthur, why do you say that it's not peer-reviewed? No comment on the quality of the journal, but their guidelines indicate that research papers are externally reviewed. a13ean (talk) 21:45, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    The entire journal appears to be a political journal published by a medical organization; even if peer-reviewed, it's the wrong type of "peer".
    And, if we may not use the Google-test in Misplaced Pages, why can we use a source which admits to only using the Google-test, even if it were a nominally reliable source. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:26, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    Quite apart from the fact that the paper does not make that claim at all, we would allow it by the same principle that forbids us to do original research, but allows us to use original research done by others, as long as its reliably published. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 10:46, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    It's not a political journal, it's a journal about policy. And since the statements to be supported relate to policy, and since the publisher is a highly reputable body, I'm not seeing great problems. Itsmejudith (talk) 22:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    {ec}I don't see any evidence that this is a political journal, and a sampling of other articles in the same issue doesn't offer any evidence to the contrary. I think you misunderstood my statement above, there's plenty of real science where they basically just "google" in specialized databases or the like -- medical reviews such as this one are pretty common. I'm just mad because the measurement equipment I use is not nearly as robust as my internet connection. a13ean (talk) 22:50, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
    It's a peer-reviewed journal from a reliable publisher. The authors are affiliated with a major university, and at least the senior author is reasonably widely published and cited. Looks like a WP:RS to me. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 11:45, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    I still disagree. It's a political (or policy) journal. (If it's a policy journal, rather than a political journal, the article isn't even within the stated topic of the journal.) The article is about political history, and there is no evidence that the publisher (a medical organization(, the editors, or the authors are experts in that field. The lead author is an expert on effects of smoking (and possibly second hand smoke; I haven't read through all the abstracts); there's little evidence he's an expert on political history.
    We've dealt with this before, although I can't find specific references to discussions. "Experts" writing outside their field of expertice are not considered "experts" for the purpose of WP:RS. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 13:50, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    The tobacco industry is Stanton Glantz's area of expertise. Publications include, but are not limited to: The Cigarette Papers, Tobacco War, "Why and how the tobacco industry sells cigarettes to young adults", "Tobacco industry manipulation of the hospitality industry to maintain smoking in public places", "The politics of local tobacco control", Constructing "sound science" and "good epidemiology", "Tobacco industry efforts subverting International Agency for Research on Cancer's second-hand smoke study". So what were you saying?
    By the way, other news organizations are picking up this story. goethean 15:48, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    Stanton Glantz might be an expert in the Tobacco industry, but where is he an expert with regards to the Tea Party? Arzel (talk) 16:07, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    What a suprise that a bunch of left news sources would trumpet an incredibly stupid study that would attack Big Tobacco, the Koch's and the Tea Party all at once! This is clearly a WP:FRINGE study. Such a stupid correlation without causation study I have not seen before. Such idiocy would never make it into the true scientific journals which I have published. Arzel (talk) 16:05, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    "Tobacco Control is an international peer review journal covering the nature and consequences of tobacco use worldwide; ; and the activities of the tobacco industry and its allies." (emphasis mine). How is this article possibly outside the the stated topic area of the journal? Expert status for the author is only needed for WP:SPS exceptions - the presumption is that publication through a reliable publisher is sufficient to establish reliability. The BMJ Group is a major academic publisher with a good reputation. Peer-reviewed academic articles are the gold standard for sources. And, as Goethean pointed out, Glantz is indeed an expert on the topic. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 17:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    The objections to this journal are very much off target. There are significant numbers of academics/scholars in medical fields that do research on the social/political aspects of health-related issues; tobacco is a prime example. The medical school in my own university has a large unit that specializes in issues of this sort. There is no question here of people writing outside their expertise -- it's really quite the contrary in this instance. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    Glantz is an expert on the tobacco industry; his <redacted> comments about the Tea Party would require independent evidence of expertise. BMJ is an expert in medical matters; their expertise about the Tea Party (or recognizing expertise about the Tea Party) is in question. "Tobacco Control" is a (self-proclaimed) expert on "the nature and consequences of tobacco use worldwide" and "the activities of the tobacco industry and its allies".; their expertise about the Tea Party is problematic, as it's Glantz' assertion that the Tea Party is an ally of (an ally of an ally of ...) the tobacco industry. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:30, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    The expertise of Glantz in regard to the Tea Party is established by the publication of his research about it in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. It is a medical matter. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:41, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    I see the Fallin/Grana/Glantz article as eminently usable for statements about the influence of tobacco companies on the early formation of the Tea Party. The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library is unmatched in its holdings; there are no other libraries holding such a mass of public and internal tobacco industry documents. Anyone drawing from this library would be expected to have unique conclusions. The medical experts who authored the article are not blind to the political and health issues surrounding tobacco promotion—in this case politics and health are tied together. The article is peer-reviewed and the journal is respected. This is a fine source. Binksternet (talk) 18:56, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

    One would expect experts that special in the dealings of Tobacco companies would be well versed with the politics of tobacco. This source is fine, however I'm a little troubled if their research methods was only google.  little green rosetta(talk)
    central scrutinizer  19:46, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

    Ian.thompson, who started this thread, mis-characterized the conclusions of the article in question. The ref is clear that some tobacco companies worked to encourage and provide some funding to a variety of anti-tax groups some of which are now closely associated with the broad Tea Party Movement. He should be forgiven for the error of stating tobacco companies "formed" the Tea Party because a two media orgs (Rolling Stone and Huff Post) have thus mis-characterized the article leading to error. Capitalismojo (talk) 21:56, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    As relates to the reliability of the article, I agree that their methods, as described in the abstract, look more than a little questionable. Moreover as a reliable source of political or historical research I'd have to say that it doesn't look good. The they are writing with an explicit Point of View (tobacco-control) for that (tobacco-control advocacy) audience. I'm sure their peers in the tobacco-control advocacy world found this entirely reasonable. It doesn't seem NPOV or reliable for Misplaced Pages. Capitalismojo (talk) 22:04, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    Their methods are described as such: "We used the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library, the Wayback Machine, Google, LexisNexis, the Center for Media and Democracy and the Center for Responsive Politics (opensecrets.org) to examine the tobacco companies' connections to the Tea Party." By itself, the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library would be quite suitable as a reliable source for the three researchers Fallin, Grana and Glantz. The other sources simply add more context and broadened the coverage for them. Fallin, Grana and Glantz are not restricted by Misplaced Pages's admonition against original research; they are researchers, for crying out loud. If by "tobacco-control advocacy" you mean public health professionals who wish to greatly attenuate lung and throat cancer by researching corporate malfeasance and political interconnections, then what part of that is against Misplaced Pages guidelines? We do not require our reliable sources to have a neutral stance. Binksternet (talk) 22:20, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

    I'm alarmed at the way editors are trying to wriggle round this one. Articles in BMJ journals are reliable, end of story, pretty much. If you find a source of equivalent quality presenting an opposing view, use both. Itsmejudith (talk)

    Current consensus on the talk page (as defined by a pro-Tea Party editor) is to not include any material cited to this source. Rationales for excluding the material vary wildly. I suggest that interested editors join the discussion. — goethean 22:37, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    Some editors are showing a real problem with this, yes. The issue for me, however, is the idea that since a source exists, we must use it. There's no doubt in my mind that this is a reliable source. I see no consensus at the page, however, that it should be used in this article, given the claims the reference makes and the relative lack of attention it's getting (likely because the claims made are so dubious). Thargor Orlando (talk) 22:58, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    The talk page is dominated by advocates of the Tea Party who want to see all negative information removed from the article. — goethean 23:03, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    There are certainly Tea Party supporters there and opponents as well. The allegation that it's partisanship doesn't hold up: you don't need to be a Tea Party supporter to see that the claim being made is lacking, but this goes beyond the point of this board. Thargor Orlando (talk) 23:10, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    Hogwash. — goethean 23:13, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    Thargor, I was surprised at your remark about the "relative lack of attention" the topic has been getting. I would like to direct your attention to the media:
    This list will likely grow in the next week, but by itself it proves plenty of media attention. Binksternet (talk) 23:24, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
    It is getting attention for two reasons. One, the left loves to attack the Tea Party so anything which can equate the Tea Party with eviiil organizations like BIG Tobacoo or the Kooooochs is great for boogyman posturing. Throw in Al Gore and you have a trifecta of leftist dreams. Two, the right is responding WTF?!? Big Tobacco started the Tea Party three decades ago and tax money went to this piece of crap study? I love Correlation without Causation studies as much as anyone, but this one is pretty darn weak. It would never pass a real scientific journal with rigorous statistical testing. Arzel (talk) 00:07, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
    Arzel, we are all well aware of your views that the leftist media is the antichrist and that the Tea Party is a righteous patriotic organization. No need to waste your breath. — goethean 00:20, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
    Arzel, if you want to debate Al Gore then call his people up and schedule something. Otherwise let's all retain our senses and concentrate on following Misplaced Pages guidelines. The way forward is clear: use this very reliable study, and check into the most prominent new stories that have followed from it. Binksternet (talk) 00:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
    Goethean, Binksternet, I am sorry that the facts hurt you so much. We are all aware of your beliefs that the Koch brothers are behind an evil plot to destroy Obama, but there is no need to rely on fringe theories to base your beliefs. Not that it really matters now, but it is too bad (for the authors) that the authors were unable to get their crap study published back in October when it might have had the intended effect they wished. But thankfully, by 2014 the utter absurdity of the whole issue will be long forgotten. Arzel (talk) 22:41, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
    This is not fringe or pseudoscience. Reliable. Itsmejudith (talk) 23:15, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
    Please everyone, see WP:NPA. This noticeboard is not about content, that can be discussed on the talk page of where this source is to be used, this noticeboard is for building consensus as to whether a source is reliable or not.
    Furthermore, whether the views of this article in this journal is WP:FRINGE or not, is not the perview of this noticeboard, it is whether the source is reliable or not.
    That being said, as to whether the source is reliable or not, as an editorially reviewed journal, it fills one part of WP:RS. Does it has a reputation for fact checking? Not being familiar with the journal I cannot say, and will not venture to make an opinion in that regard. Is the journal politically motivated? Whether it is, or is not, does not matter in regards to whether the source is RS or not. As others have written elsewhere, just because MSNBC or Huffington Post leans politically left, or FoxNews and Breitbart.com lean politically right, their political bias does not stop any of the four from being reliable sources.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:00, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
    K. According to the Misplaced Pages article on BMJ its peer review system rejects roughly half of the articles submitted. To me, that would seem to indicate fact-checking is at work. Sure, they also no doubt examine methodology, but this is a professional peer-reviewed journal with a reputation for beng selective. Not some wild-eyed screed in a random, tabloid, geez. Elinruby (talk) 03:38, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
    That's BMJ as a whole, not specifically this journal. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:01, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
    Please elaborate. — goethean 13:56, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
    The statement that BMJ rejects roughly half of the articles submitted is not relevant to other journals published by the BMJ Group. Reliable publishers have been known to publish clearly unreliable journals; there is a Springer-Verlag journal which rivals the Journal of Irreproducible Results. At least, in that case, they admit it, but there are any number of scientific organizations which publish psuedo-scientific journals, in addition to the excellent line of scientific journals. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
    Tobacco Control has a publication rate of 23%, and has an impact factor of 3.11 which is reasonably high for a public health journal. It has an editorial stance against the Tobacco industry, but that is to be very much expected given that they are a public health journal. Given their coverage of tobacco related legal cases, I would imagine that the editors would be well acquainted with the legal issues associated with failing to fact check, particularly in relation to politically sensitive findings.130.102.158.15 (talk) 04:50, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    • I think it's pretty clear that this article is a reliable source, by this site's criteria. Its senior author is prominent mainstream academic (a full professor at one of the premier medical schools in the US, a member of the Institute of Medicine, and one of the world's foremost experts on the tobacco industry). The article was published in a reputable mainstream, peer-reviewed, scholarly public health journal. It's a reliable source; the arguments to the contrary are quite hard to take seriously, particularly since many seem to stem from individual editors' personal objections to the article's findings rather than from any aspect of Misplaced Pages policy.

      Whether this particular reliable source should be used in the Tea Party movement article is a separate question, one which is outside the scope of this noticeboard and should be resolved on the article talkpage or via dispute resolution. MastCell  05:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

      Thinking about it, I'm not sure I agree. It's a generally reliable source in regard the tobacco industry, but is it a reliable source about the Tea Party? They're experts on the tobacco industry. Why are they experts on the Tea Party because they think it's connected to the tobacco industry? It's a notable opinion, but I don't think it could be used to the support the statement as originally presented, even it that were a legitimate summary of the article. The original statement was "... a study published in the journal Tobacco Control concluded that the movement was formed over time by non-profit organizations that the tobacco industry and other corporate interests worked with and provided funding for...." The phrase "... the movement was formed over time by ..." has since been changed to "... organizations within the movement were connected with ...", which does not require expert opinion outside the field of the tobacco industry. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:48, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

    Document transcriptions on lobby group websites

    Can I have opinions as to the reliability of the following documents, hosted on the websites of the currently active lobbying groups the UK Metric Association (UKMA) and the U.S. Metric Association (USMA).

    The documents are being used to support a variety of assertions in the International System of Units article (section: United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa and Commonwealth of Nations), and are cited as if they are original and legitimate documents.

    Cited as: White Paper on Metrication (1972) – Summary and Conclusions. London: Department of Trade and Industry Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate.

    The original reports appear to be reliable in that they are coming from various governmental sources and have been referenced in other reliable sources. The UKMA and USMA may be advocacy groups but that does not disqualify the reliability of the original reports. Linking directly to the governmental sources may be preferred, but there is no reason to believe these are not faithful reproductions by the UKMA and USMA. Location (talk) 21:51, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
    The question of the reliability of these sources is a total red herring raised by somebody whose views appear to be diametrically opposed to the views promoted by the sites in question. The original questioner, in order to disrupt things, was in effect questioning the honesty of the organisation in question, rather than their opinions. Let me put it another way, if the URL was left out, would the original questioner have questioned the citation? I don't think so. Also, if the URL was left out, would it have detracted from the article in any way? I think yes - it would have been far more difficult for readers to read the source material themselves as they would have had to go to specialised libraries. In short, unless there is a suggestion that the organisations in question have falsified the material, or have only produced extracts so as to change its meaning, then the material is reliable. Finally, is this USMA posting reliable? Martinvl (talk) 17:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    Please assume good faith, and stop trying to disrupt this discussion by trying to second-guess, or assert, what my views might be on the subject of the article. I have never discussed them with you or disclosed them, so you cam have no idea of what they are, and they are certainly not relevant to this discussion.
    I came here to see what those with experience in these things thought about the likely reliability of such apparent third party transcriptions of government documents. Particularly where they are cited as government documents, and with no statements concerning their pedigree, copyright status or whatever and with no way of checking the integrity and accuracy of the transcriptions and particularly with them being hosted on websites of single-issue lobbying groups, wand here those documents are clearly being used to support the activities of those groups.
    If any of the documents were facsimile scans of the government documents that they are purported to be, or were hosted on reliable websites, there would be no such concerns. 212.183.128.131 (talk) 18:58, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    I'm commenting on the two British documents, which, although in .pdf form, are not facsimiles. The originals, as government publications, were "Crown Copyright". Unless permission was obtained, these copies would be copyvio. (I'm open to correction: it's possible that some recent legislation has amended the copyright on such items.)
    If these were verifiable exact copies, and not copyvio, we could use these links as a convenience when citing the documents. Since the copies are not verifiable, and are (if I'm correct) copyvio, we can't. Andrew Dalby 13:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
    On the copyright questions please see the Open Government Licence. On the question of the exactness of the copies, the easiest thing would be to link to the UK national archive version - an example. Mcewan (talk) 09:23, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    Thanks for that copyright information. I agree, it's much better to link to the UK national archive version. Andrew Dalby 10:41, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    USENET newsgroup post as source

    • The source #58: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/metric-system-faq.txt
    • The article: Metric system
    • The statement being supported (at the end in my bold):

      The usage of the metric system varies around the world. According to the US Central Intelligence Agency's Factbook (2007), the International System of Units has been adopted as the official system of weights and measures by all nations in the world except for Burma, Liberia and the United States, while NIST has claimed that the United States is the only industrialised country where the metric system is not the official system of units. However, reports published since 2007 hold this is no longer true of Liberia or Burma.

    212.183.140.58 (talk) 21:54, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

    USENET as a source? Nope. Use actual published sources for claims - and preferably claims by people who reasonably are presumed to have no axe to grind (platinum-iridium or otherwise). By the way, the US has allowed the use of the metric system as an "official system" longer than any nation other than France - just as a sidelight. In 1792 we were the first to mint decimal based coinage. In 1866 we even made it unlawful to refuse to trade or deal in metric quantities. We have also other legal measurements in addition to metric, but the wording of the claim is very misleading to readers. The international "inch" is actually defined to be precisely 25.4 millimeters. I would also like to point out that even in "metric countries" non-metric uits of measurement are frequently found - such as the use of carats for measuring weights of gemstones. The metric UK uses "pints" of beer, cheese-producing areas use weird measurements in many places - frequently being sold "by the wheel" rather than by metric weight. Oh - and the kilogram is not a unit of weight - if one is truly metric, the Newton is the unit of weight which should be used <g>. Roughly the weight of a small apple.

    It would seem to be reliable for some things, for example events relating to Jainism, the existence of courses in Jainism. It may also be useful as a convenience host for documents that were written elsewhere and placed on the website. Certainly not reliable for history, or for biographies of living people. If it's being used for Jain theology, we would have to look at that more closely and see if there are better sources. Itsmejudith (talk) 12:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
    Yes, www.jainworld.com is a reliable and respected source. It is largely a compilation or articles and books, written by experts. Even for history (for example articles by Dr. K. C. Jain, a distinguished scholar)and biography, I would consider it a source, with reliability comparable to books in the field. In many cases, the names of the authors have been included. Obviously, at a scholarly level, there can be differences of opinions, but that is a separate issue. Malaiya (talk) 03:24, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    On history, if the author is a scholar then an article may be reliable. But it would be an unusual case and should ring alarm bells. Why is that author not publishing in an academic journal? If jainworld.com is simply reproducing papers that have been published elsewhere, then we don't have a reliability problem but may have a copyright one.

    The basic definition for starters. But, really, just about all of it. It's the best brief overview I've seen. The summary is good and the ideas of it could go in the article: "In sum, the argument from silence, like all historical arguments, is always conjectural. But it is not, as some claim, a fallacy. It is the correct default inference from silence. That inference can be strengthened by relevant evidence of a positive kind, or by the continued silence of further evidence." In general, is the source useable (granting that there are obvious possible misuses). Humanpublic (talk) 21:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

    The mere appearance of an article on a university server does not make it reliable. This source is interesting, and was probably written by someone qualified to write it, but without a named author I don't see how it is citable. Zero 11:02, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    It is not just hosted at the site. The contents are copyright the University of Mass. I don't see where the reliable sources policy requires a single named author. The history dept. of U. Mass is obviously reliable on matters of history. Many sources, such as encyclopedias, don't have named authors. You look at the publisher, I assume. Humanpublic (talk) 16:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

    This seems to be part of the Warring States Project, which gives its staff here: http://www.umass.edu/wsp/project/staff/index.html - Bruce Brooks, a UMass professor, and various associates. I'd credit the Warring States Project at University of Mass. I'd consider it a reliable source, but not the only one, especiall if a dictionary says otherwise. --GRuban (talk) 19:13, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
    It is not just a dictionary that says otherwise, but a few other totally WP:RS sources if you look at the page. The general situation seems to be that arguments from silence are "so, so" at the very best but as one other WP:RS source said "stand on shaky foundations and can, like a house of cards, be easily demolished." On the positive side, there is a source already that says "although risky, such arguments can at times shed light on historical events". In any case, it is not certain if the professor wrote that UMass page or the assistant. If the assistant did it, it is not great. And why not get a "proper WP:RS source" anyway. Is that web page the only source that says this? Why not get solid WP:RS sources whose authorship is not in question? History2007 (talk) 19:38, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
    Anyway, I took another look at the univ website and it is not clear if that statement is by Brooks or an assistant. But what is clear is that Brooks has some type of reputation for overdosing on arguments from silence for (on the same web site) a review of his book states: "the authors' liberal use of arguments from silence might disturb some scholars as might their generous use of some rather late and suspect sources to construct biographical accounts of Confucius and sons." The book review is pretty positive overall, but seems to view the args from silence as one of the weak point in his work. So Brooks is viewed as good, but as someone who ODs on args from silence in view of other scholars. In any case, that is not a blanket statement to be used, and the fact that other scholars think Brooks ODs on these reaffirms the views in the other RS sources that these are in general viewed as somewhat shaky arguments. History2007 (talk) 21:46, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
    That is all completely irrelevant. Please cite a Misplaced Pages policy against the source in question. Humanpublic (talk) 15:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    History2007, you object to being called dishonest. Please start being honest, then. The review makes no generalizations about Brooks and the argument from silence at all. It doesn't say he overuses it. It does not say it is a weak point in that particular book, it says some scholars might see it that way. You are being obstructionist and distorting sources. Stop it.

    The Oregonian

    Authored article The Oregonian: "Chuck Palahniuk announces titles and release dates for next three books" used per policy in the Chuck Palahniuk article, in the section there on his fiction, to confirm the upcoming novel Doom. As this was being used not as an assertion of notability, but simply to cite a novel's name and announcement by the novelist about its upcoming release, are we to now assume that a newspaper with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy would not investigate something they published, before they published it? Thanks. Schmidt, 00:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

    WP:CRYSTALBALL #1 and #5 seem to be relevant, but one could argue that they only apply to new articles (i.e. the release of Doomed) rather than information within existing articles (i.e. the works of Chuck Palahniuk). The release of the book is almost certain to take place and as such has received coverage in reliable secondary sources (see Huff Post, too), therefore, I would say that its OK to include the information in the author's article but likely too soon to create an article about the novel.

    Magill and Limerick Leader

    Magill Magazine

    The question here is around Magill, an Irish current affairs magazine which is now out of publication. At the time of the publication of the article in question, the magazine was being edited by Eamon Delaney. There is a difference of opinion on whether this source is WP:RS the article - grateful for third party views here.

    Limerick Leader

    The Limerick Leader is one of the Johnston Press Ireland titles. It is a local weekly paper with a relatively small circulation although is the largest paid-for newspaper in the whole Mid-West region of Ireland. On its website the newspaper claims to have "a cherished reputation as the local paper of record". There is a difference of opinion on whether this source is WP:RS the article - grateful for third party views here.

    Oncenawhile (talk) 11:35, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

    I am involved in this discussion with Once. Personally I am puzzled why this was taken to RSN. The question isn't whether the sources cited support the specific content proposed. The periodical quoting Gannon is a reliable source for Gannon's opinion. The newspaper quoting Moda'i is a reliable source for Moda'i's opinion. The question is whether the article's treatment of the opinions of these individuals is undue or not, especially when we have much more authoritative academic sources covering this topic. Zad68 14:05, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
    Hi Zad, the WP:RS challenge came from Jayjg - see a selection of comments below:
    • ...In addition, the opinion is published in a small-circulation weekly newspaper (not a historical journal or history book), and Moda'i is a non-expert: a politician, not a historian. As such, we are clearly facing WP:RS issues... Jayjg (talk) 02:36, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
    • ...Keep in mind, as well, that any material sourced to the personal opinions of politicians such as Boaz Moda'i or Robert Briscoe will fail WP:RS... Jayjg (talk) 22:40, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
    • If something fails WP:RS, then it doesn't matter how brilliantly written it is, or how much one agrees with it. Jayjg (talk) 00:01, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
    • Given the conclusive points above that the Limerick Leader and Magill sources are not reliable in this context, on what do you base your statements here? Jayjg (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
    Hope that's clear. Oncenawhile (talk) 15:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
    OK, I think you two are talking past each other a little bit. Zad68 15:23, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
    The Magill article is irrelevant in this "terminology" section (it's badly written, but it says it's about "questioning the traditional narrative", not about terminology). So we don't have to worry whether Magill is reliable or not.
    The quotation from Keogh is the important one. Keogh knew the facts and can write clearly. It's almost all we need in this section, really.
    But it is interesting to notice that an Israeli diplomat agreed with the point, because terminology in this field matters, at least in a historical sense, in Israeli politics. So, if I were writing the article, I'd say in the text that Moda'i expressed a similar view to Keogh, and perhaps I'd quote him as briefly as possible in a footnote, citing the Limerick Reader.
    The Limerick Reader is reliable. Can't see any good reason to dispute that. Andrew Dalby 15:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

    The Good Men Project

    On his talkpage User: West Horizon has suggested this article on the Good Man Project website as a source for the history of the Fathers' Rights Movement and Fathers' rights movement in the United States. The material in the article places the origins of the men's rights movement in the 1920s, contradicting multiple scholarly sources that date it from the 1960s. .

    On the plus side, the Good Man Project website has a named editorial team etc ; on the downside the same page suggests that they may publish just about anything. "We shy away from nothing. Our content reflects the multidimensionality of men — we are alternatively funny and serious, provocative and thoughtful, earnest and light-hearted. We search far and wide for new stories and new voices from “the front lines of modern manhood.” Another concern regarding expertise is that the author Robert St-Estephe, who is described as historian but also "a deeply repentant former mangina who has devoted a bit of time to the study of the history of the relations between the sexes", is not traceable on the internet apart from postings on men's rights websites.

    Sweeping removal of citations per WP:RS

    User:Jayjg is (probably quite properly) removing citations to the works of discredited historian (and Holocaust denier) David Irving. I have no issue with this. However, out with the bathwater is going to baby of secondary citations, some to the London Times, some to other, non-Irving works, when the citations contain links to Irving's website or other traces of Irving. I am curious as to the correct response to this. An example is Special Operations Executive, where the offending link is to a copy of an article from The Independent. Another is the excision of a primary source (a diary) because it is contained on Irving's site (this might be more reasonable) in Alexander Scotland.

    About the "Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" article leaflets.

    Leaflet under discussion, showing the names of 12 Japanese cities targeted for destruction by firebombing

    In the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki article, Binksternet keeps on believing that Hiroshima was given a leaflet warning with 12 cities on the list and Hiroshima was not. I don't want to go any further as things will gets ugly in the "leaflet" section "http://en.wikipedia.org/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki#Leaflets". I attempted to remove it in the "leaflet" section, and Bink kept on reversing it back to way it was without providing any legitimate explanation to me whatsoever. Everytime i tried to edit out the problem and everytime i tried to explain he keeps on telling me to go to the talk article and he kept on reversing the back the way it was. The whole thing is he keeps on believing that the Hiroshima was given a leaflet warning with 12 cites with Hiroshima not on the list which no major sources ever said it as i i said again in this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki&action=history Earlier, he puts on this last sentence on late December 2012, "One such leaflet is on display at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum; it lists 12 cities targeted for firebombing: Otaru, Akita, Hachinohe, Fukushima, Urawa, Takayama, Iwakuni, Tottori, Imabari, Yawata, Miyakonojo, and Saga. Hiroshima was not listed." This is really blatantly dishonest to deceive a reader because two books he put our there said it differently:

    "Before the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, the city was given the standard psychological warfare treatment prior to an incendiary attack. Leaflets were dropped on Hiroshima, indicating, along with several other cities, that they were to be fire bombed within a few days and to evacuate the city. The leaflets are on display at the Peace Museum in Hiroshima and were dropped on the city several days prior to the atomic bombing." No Strategic Targets Left, page 103. F. J. Bradley. Turner Publishing Company, 1999."

    "But, the leaflet continued, unless the country agreed to immediate surrender, the bombings would continue. On the back of the leaflet, along with a photograph of a superfortress, were listed the cities destined for destruction: Otaru, Akita, Hachinohe, Fukushima, Urawa, Takayama, Iwakuni, Tottori, Imabaru, Yawata, Miyakonojo, and Saga. Hiroshima, it will be noted, was absent from that list; so were Nagasaki, Kokura, and Niigata." The Day man lost: Hiroshima, page 215. Bungei Shunjū Senshi Kenkyūkai. Kodansha International, 1981."

    So based on the two links, I then remove that last sentence as i stated above because they are mixed together such as the leaflet was displayed in the Hiroshima Peace Museum (no link even said this nor i know many people who lived there did not say anything about it) to deceive a reader then Bink kept on adding in with the sources continueing on claiming to have that Hiroshima warned with 12 leaflets and Hiroshima was not on the list. He added this link: http://www.gifu-np.co.jp/kikaku/2008/gifu63/g63_20080804.shtml and he claimed that the leaflets were warned on Hiroshima based on the link he provided and said this: "One such leaflet lists 12 cities targeted for firebombing: Otaru, Akita, Hachinohe, Fukushima, Urawa, Takayama, Iwakuni, Tottori, Imabari, Yawata, Miyakonojo, and Saga. Hiroshima was not listed."

    He kept on saying this because he believes that Hiroshima was given a 12 city warning when i saw no evidence providing to the contrary whatsoever. And he added the 2nd link in addition to the Japanese link claimed it was based on this: http://books.google.com/books?id=adI-6jRDipgC&pg=PA43#v=onepage&q&f=false

    Would you read it and does it REALLY says that Hiroshima was given such as 12 city leaflet? I don't think so. This Google link specifically did not say anything about Hiroshima given the 12 cities listed and Hiroshima was not which makes no sense and this link did not specifically say anything about it. I like the say the leaflet section is written as earlier on the article earlier didn't say any information about the leaflets, just had problem with the last sentence to claim that Hiroshima received a warning with 12 cities listed and Hiroshima was not. That link isn't along with the Japanese link reliable enough to support the evidence. XXzoonamiXX

    Discussion has been going on at the article talk page and at my user talk page. The latest discussion is here: Talk:Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki#Leaflet_listing_names_of_targeted_cities.
    This is the full cite for the Richard Miller book:
    Miller writes, "In Hiroshima, the mood among the Japanese citizens was not encouraging. Tokyo had predicted an American invasion within a month or two. Almost all of the major cities had been bombed except four: Kyoto, Niigata, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima. The leaflets the Americans had dropped the day before warned of devastation to a number of other cities: Yawata, Saga, Takayama, Akita. Ominously, Hiroshima was not on that list. It was never on the list." This is as clear as it could possibly get, that Hiroshima was leafleted and that the leaflet message was about 12 other cities. The point is that Hiroshima was not warned specifically because Hiroshima was being saved from firebombing so that the atomic bomb's destructive power could be assessed without previously damaged areas confusing the matter. Binksternet (talk) 00:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    First, leaflet image you put out can be applied to others since the 12 cities leaflet were dropped on many Japanese cities from July to August so that image is moot.

    "possibly get?" You were saying to the fact that Hiroshima was WARNED with the leaflet drops which list 12 cities and Hiroshima was not. Also, you already put in the article main page that no warning was going to given to Hiroshima that the atomic bomb was going to be dropped so your argument is moot. I also already know that Hiroshima was preserved from firebombing so they could assess the damage caused by the nuclear bomb. Again that's completely out of the topic what we are focusing now.

    2nd of all, it says, "In Hiroshima, the mood among the Japanese citizens was not encouraging. Tokyo had predicted an American invasion within a month or two. Almost all of the major cities had been bombed except four: Kyoto, Niigata, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima. The leaflets the Americans had dropped the day before warned of devastation to a number of other cities: Yawata, Saga, Takayama, Akita. Ominously, Hiroshima was not on that list. It was never on the list." However, it is clear that after the sentences, "In Hiroshima, the mood among the Japanese citizens was not encouraging. Tokyo had predicted an American invasion within a month or two. Almost all of the major cities had been bombed except four: Kyoto, Niigata, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima."

    Now it goes off THEN saying Tokyo predicted the invasion then said that all the major cities had been firebombed and the rest nothing said about the Hiroshima residents in the sentences. It also says that the leaflets warned on which mostly like the Japanese cities in general which listed of cities for targeting and Hiroshima was not on the list so it did not say specifically enough that Hiroshima was given such a warning with four cities listed and Hiroshima was not. So you come to the automatic conclusion that Hiroshima was given such a warning of what you put out in which the link specifically nothing about it.

    3rd of all, it says four cities in that Miller link yet it did not say about 12 cities listed and and yet that was put on the article main page. This is a bit deceiving at it's best as you mix two link together as you previously did before. Also, Miller's link inaccurately says that Hiroshima only housed 25,000 troops (All the major sources, including the Japanese ones, agreed that it was about 40,000 soldiers in Hiroshima). If Japanese citizens in Hiroshima was given such a warning (12 cities listed/Hiroshima not), then why didn't the residents say anything about the leaflets being warned with leaflet (12 cities/ Hiroshima was not) nor goes on the details that Japanese officers said so itself? The link make it seems like as it was a third-world source and it make no sense at all.

    Also, I was talking about Hiroshima warned of a conventional bombing, not a nuclear bomb and I know that. I don’t want to discredit you but when you put out the last link when it does not specifically say it (As I told you above already) makes other sources seems very discreditable and assume to all sources that say leaflets was warned to Hiroshima about the conventional bombings a bunch of lies. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 02:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    (edit conflict) Commenting for Binksternet. Disclaiming that I'm not a regular contributor to this noticeboard, I'll say, yes, that book does contain that quote. We can verifiably assert that that book does contain that quote. I'm not sure, however, how much of that is simple statement of facts observed by the author and how much is supposition or synthesis on the part of the author. I wonder, for example, what information the author had regarding the mood among the Japanese citizens of Hiroshima. When he says, "It was never on the list", I wonder what specific list the author speaks of, and whether his information about its contents comes from his observation or his supposition. Googling around, I find another source, Studies in Intelligence, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 2002. According to the google search results I got, page 60 of this source says, "Front side of OWI notice #2106, dubbed the “LeMay bombing leaflet," which was delivered to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 55 other Japanese cities on 1 August 1945. The Japanese text on the reverse side of the leaflet carried the following ...". It would be interesting to learn what that source says that the text on the reverse side of the leaflet says. That information is probably easily and verifiably obtainable in U.S. libraries. Unfortunately, I am located on a small island n the Philippines and am unable to obtain/verify that information myself. Perhaps another Misplaced Pages editor might do that and let us know what it says there. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    Yes Miller did say Hiroshima was never on the list I never denied it but he assumed that based on the quote he got, Hiroshima was given a leaflet with 12 cities and Hiroshima was not. That the residents in Hiroshima received that leaflet which that book written by Miller did not specifically say that the residents of Hiroshima was given such a warning. You can look what i said above. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 02:42, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    Yes, the Studies in Intelligence source says that Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 33 other Japanese cities were leafleted on 1 August 1945. (The CIA webpage is somewhat confusing in that it positions the LeMay leaflet after the Hiroshima explosion, but the text is clear that the LeMay leaflet was dropped before the atomic bomb. A completely different leaflet warning of the vastly powerful new bomb was dropped after Hiroshima and before Nagasaki.) John W. Dower writes that the 12-city leaflet was standard fare in the days leading up to the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Dower writes on pages 186–187 of Cultures of War that the 12 cities "were small and of negligible strategic importance." He says that "several-score" (~40) cities received these LeMay leaflets. He says "neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki nor Kokura" were on the list of 12 cities shown on the leaflet. He says these leaflets were dropped on July 27, July 30 and August 3. (Note that the reported dates of the leaflet drops vary widely within the range of late July and early August. Many of the best sources contradict each other regarding exact dates.) Binksternet (talk) 04:37, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    It is very difficult for me to figure out how to explain the situation to XXzoonamiXX; the method of reading a dozen sources to come up with a suitable encyclopedic summary. It seems that XXzoonamiXX is upset that some of the dozen sources contradict each other about various parts of the leaflet situation. I get the impression that XXzoonamiXX wants the atomic bombing article to make some particular statement about the leaflets, but I do not know what that is. XXzoonamiXX's communication skills are confusing to me. Binksternet (talk) 05:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    What am I missing? The version supported by Binksternet appears to be supported by a reliable source. What does XXzoonamiXX want the caption to read? Location (talk) 05:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    I get what the sources say and i read it many times. My whole point is Binksternet kept on assuming that the residents of Hiroshima was given a leaflet with 12 cities listed and Hiroshima was not based on the Miller Link he has. That's my whole point. It's not that i discredit the facts from the sources that Hiroshima was not giving such a warning but the way you put it makes no sense. I strongly disagreed how you put that in the last sentence right next to "likely Hiroshima was leafleted on early July and August" sentence and the residents of Hiroshima was given such a warning. So i want to move it somewhere else in the "Leaflet" section and not to make it appear that Hiroshima was given such a warning with 12 cities and Hiroshima was not. And BTW, Location, he puts out a CIA article and if you click on the leaflet image of it, you see that 35 cities, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were targeted with leaflets but he puts out that Hiroshima was not listed. http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Firebombing_leaflet.jpg look at the bottom. Even though it was supported by other book sources, it makes it seem like as if CIA specifically say this nor the image listed the names of the cities listed for destruction. Also BTW, Dower said that 12 cities were targeted on July 27 yet the USAAF chronology says it was only 11 cities. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 05:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    XXzoonamiXX, can you find the name 広島/廣島/Hiroshima or 長崎/Nagasaki on the leaflet? Per WP:TRANSCRIPTION, faithful translations and transcriptions into English are not OR. Oda Mari (talk) 09:59, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    If you listen to what I said, that's not the point what I'm talking about. Specifically, the last sentence gives an impression that Hiroshima was given such as leaflet with 12 cities and Hiroshima was not when it specifically not so i want to move it somewhere else in the "leaflet" section. Also, the Japanese link didn't say specifically anything Hiroshima given such a leaflet, as with the Bungei Shunjū Senshi Kenkyūkai's book as well. XXzoonamiXX (talk) 10:22, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI

    In Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, there is currently the claim that Pope Benedict will choose to remain in the Vatican in order to avoid the possibility of lawsuits. This is clearly a very strong claim, and there has been some dispute about including it. The source being used is Reuters, so that's good, but the article, "Pope will have security, immunity by remaining in the Vatican", is relying on two anonymous "Vatican officials" as the source for the claim. The article also acknowledges that there are no current cases that name Benedict. So my query is whether or not this is sufficiently reliable for a claim of that strength. - Bilby (talk) 02:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    That is very much a disputed point, and should only be expressed as an opinion offered by whoever-it-is at Reuters. Mangoe (talk) 04:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    The problem being that we don't know who whoever-it-is is, as it is only attributed to "anonymous Vatican sources". But I've attributed it that way, so hopefully it is ok. Thanks for your help. - Bilby (talk) 02:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

    • Source: http://www.assassinationresearch.com/v5n1/v5n1fetzer.pdf self-published by James H. Fetzer
    • Article: Reclaiming History, a book authored by Vincent Bugliosi
    • Content: In his 2007 review of Reclaiming History, conspiracy researcher James H. Fetzer contended that "Bugliosi has misled his readers by lies, omissions, and deliberate distortions, where, in particular, when confronted with evidence that is incompatible with his own—official but fanciful—theory, he either twists, warps, and distorts the evidence or simply ignores it. His key claims are not merely provably false but, in crucial cases, not even physically possible.."

    James H. Fetzer has independent notability as an advocate of various conspiracy theories and he is certainly a reliable source for his opinion; however, Assassination Research and www.assassinationresearch.com appear to be self-published by Fetzer. I'm seeking other opinions on the permissibility of this source in the article given that WP:SPS refers to claims about third parties. (One confounding factor, the Fetzer article contains one or two of Bugliosi's opinions about Fetzer taken from Reclaiming History. Tit for tat?) Thanks! Location (talk) 04:26, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    I don't think it's a major problem, because it is relevant that someone like Fetzer has criticised Bugliosi's book. So long as we adequately distance Misplaced Pages from this opinion, and indeed from Bugliosi's opinions, it is clear that we are simply reporting on a spat that took place. It would be good to include some reviews in the mainstream media, if there are any. I saw http://www.openlettersmonthly.com/he-died/ this but not much else. Normally, if there are no reviews in mainstream media, we question whether a book is notable, but in this case I think there were lots of sales so notability probably isn't in doubt.

    I would say not reliable for the claim - That said the claim itself can be reliably sources Church Records from 1867 record it as haunted but no detail , Page 96 of "The Folklore of Orkney and Shetland" 1975 Marwick give it as haunted by a seaman murdered by the gardener.

    While your specific Query was resolved it worried me that Dr Blofeld made the claim "Ask WP:Scotland, it's a top website on Scottish subjects which is used as a source for hundreds of articles on here." so I did a check and we have something like 578 articles using this as a reference. This is problematic undiscoveredscotland.co.uk gives no detail as to the reliability of any of its claims at best it's a tertiary source which makes no reference to its secondary sources, at worst its a mess of otherwise unverifiable material that if it can be verified should be sourced to the source of that verification not undiscovered Scotland. The material gives no credit to the author and may be in some cases either commercial in nature or the author may not be a reliable expert in the fields of local history/geography/Travel or may even be user added. As Senra notes above it is fully advertising orientated, and while the design is standards compliant it is rather dated giving the real concern that the content itself may also be dated. Generally these add up to a number of failures of WP:ELNO and WP:SOURCES and I feel that use of the site as a source should be discontinued with all existing pages amended to use other more reliable sites. Is this likewise the feeling of other WP:RSN editors? Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 16:34, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

    I am new to Wiki. I am the computer tech/financial advisor to Gary Webb (racing Driver) from Blue Grass. The last statement about him (married to ...) is wrong & causes family tension & I don't know how to remove. The rest of the article has incorrect dates & numbers I want to submit correct dates & figures but am not sure of the format needed. This is coming from Gary Webb's mouth so am not sure how to list source either....

    Partially resolved. It looks as though another editor has removed the uncited information about a marriage. This was likely vandalism. Regarding dates and numbers for the article, its best to post that information on the talk page with an appropriate source. I'll bring this up at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject NASCAR for you.

    A silly claim referenced to unreliable websites

    Walter Görlitz (talk · contribs), an editor of some experience, maintains that we should keep a "rumor" in one of our articles, Volkswagen_1-litre_car#.24600_price_rumour, though it is based only on the evidence of a website, "truthorfiction.com": this rumor is reprinted here, with reference made to one single email. If you look at the talk page (unpleasant discussion ongoing; I had asked Gorlitz on their talk page but they moved it to the article talk page) you'll find another link, this one, on an even more questionable site, Resources for Life ("Holistic Wellness! Business Services!"). You'll also see that Gorlitz has defended the section before against two other editors. Now, Gorlitz, I think, claims the information is "reliably sourced" because, I suppose, he looked at a clip from ABC on that Holistic website. The clip is no longer there, and it's impossible to tell "what" ABC it was, or which one of their local (and often not so reliable) affiliates.

    It is my contention that neither of these two websites are reliable sources; that the memory of Gorlitz having seen the clip is not enough to verify that the information was indeed every reported on a news program; and that the information should be removed since we don't report internet rumors unless they're reliably sourced and of some value to an article. Drmies (talk) 21:12, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

    The assumption that the claim is "silly" is all the editor's here.
    The unpleasant discussion is all at Drmies's hand. I am trying to remain pleasant. Sorry about for not devolving into name-calling so that it could have been more unpleasant. I'll see if I can work on that in the future as opportunity arises.
    There was a link to ABC news, which they have removed as part of their editorial policy: archiving old stories. Unfortunately, it's a victim of link rot. No further copies of that story were available when later edits were made otherwise I would have added the source as well. Link rot applies to outside sources as well. And, contrary to claims, it's not just my memory that serves as witness here, but the author of the story claims it was there at one time as well. Thankfully, the presence of that video is not key to the reliability of this source however.
    The question isn't whether there will ever be a $600 version of this vehicle sold in the US or any Western nation, it's whether VW ever intended to sell one in the Chinese market. That's what the issue was. Over a few edits, another editor and I came to this consensus or compromise. So the source is to confirm the idea (probably incorrectly labelled as a rumour) that such a vehicle may have been planned, and the reference does support it. For this purpose, that specific source is sufficiently reliable, and it links to other secondary sources. I suppose we could add those linked sources instead. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
    I think the previous two editors might disagree with your claim of pleasantness. At any rate, can you provide reliable sources for this rumor? Or will we have to build an encyclopedic article on the evidence given in an unreliable source that once upon a time there were reliable sources? In short: can we get a reliable source to state that VW intended at one point to etc.? For now, what you're defending is an unreliably sourced account of a rumor.

    Good point. The source that's there is http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/v/vwl1.htm while all of the discussion here has been about http://www.resourcesforlife.com/docs/item3583 --Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:43, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
    That site is even worse, if possible. The page is simply a reprint of an alleged email. No sources are given, and the site has more ads than editors. It's owned by Branches Communications, apparently, and there is nothing anywhere about an editorial board or policy. Drmies (talk) 01:48, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    I agree that the sources are very poor. It is clear that there was a hubbub of misinformed discussion on the internet, but it didn't make the mainstream apart from possibly ABC. An internet rumour which has left no trace except on discussion boards and rumour sites seems about as non-notable significant as it comes for purpose of writing an encyclopedia.

    Two sources for Tough Trip Through Paradise

    Looking for advice -- I'm about to embark on a major edit of the page for Tough Trip through Paradise, and I've got two sources to ask about.

    The first is the Andrew Garcia--Mountain Man page on franksrealm.com, which was heavily used as a source by the last editor. The franksrealm page only gives "Donald Gilbert y Chavez" as its source, and I've noticed a number of discrepancies between franksrealm and the handful of print sources I've consulted thus far.

    The other question I have is whether an online guide or finding aid to a manuscript collection held in an archives is considered an acceptable/reliable source. I know the manuscript collection itself is a primary source and therefor not to be used, but what of the description of the collection, as published to an online catalog by the historical society that owns the collection? The specific page I have in mind is the Northwest Digital Archives page for the Ben Stein research collection. If it's a no-go I have other sources to use, but I'd like to know before I begin my edits in earnest. (apologies for initial failure to sign; still new to this) RogueArchivist (talk) 23:37, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

    Use of franksrealm as a source would have to be justified based on the author's reliability in peer-reviewed publications elsewhere. Without that, we can't use it. Cite it under external links, that's all.
    You can use primary sources if they are published or on line (assuming the people concerned are dead), but purely for what they say: you must use secondary sources for any interpretation.
    It's a positive that this archive handlist is on line, so other editors can verify your use of it. These handlists are a bit like museum labels: probably OK, but reliability is difficult to judge and the material is unlikely to be peer reviewed. We are dependent on one librarian or archivist, a professional, but anyone can make errors in analysing documents. We discussed the use of museum labels on this board recently, but whether the use of archive handlists has been discussed I don't recall. Andrew Dalby 08:55, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

    Forrest River massacre: Investigations and Royal Commission

    Two editors, (121.208.25.30/121.208.25.42/60.225.253.209/60.225.253.231/121.208.25.71) and (180.149.192.132/180.149.192.134/180.149.192.133/180.149.192.139) are repeatedly deleting the following paragraph from the article section Accusations of false claims on the grounds that it is "based on demonstrably false claims" and is an attempt "to discredit book." Moran is rather controversial as his books support Windschuttle's position in the History wars, ie:that while some deaths did occur there were no massacres of Aboriginals. The massacres are myths based on hearsay and the misleading use of evidence by academics.

    Moran's claims regarding the reliability of Gribble were examined by Green and found to rely on unreliable sources, and where reliable sources are cited the claims are misinterpreted, false or can not be found in them at all.. — Green, Neville: Ahab wailing in the wilderness Quadrant June 2003 Pg 30-33

    The reference for the above is a reply to two articles authored by journalist Rod Moran, Gribble out of Balance and Ernest Gribble's Dark Torment. Written by Historian Neville Green the reply was published in Quadrant magazine. As it is not online I have copy/pasted some of the relevant supporting text:

    He did not, as Moran claimed, assist Trower in the investigation, and the Trower report, alluded to by Moran, does not exist...Moran claimed that "according to descendants," Jack Gribble "served a disreputable period as a missionary on Melville Island", was a bigamist and that he engaged in shady land deals. Jack Gribble has only one and she denied making any of the derogatory statements Moran attributed to her...In his attempt to vilify Ernest Gribble and denigrate Christine Halse, Moran relied upon sources that have been shown to be unreliable or misinterpreted.

    Green's interpretation of Moran's work is widely supported by other academics such as archaeologist and historian Sylvia Hallam:

    Moran states explicitly that he is following the example of Keith Windschuttle's recent book "The Fabrication of Aboriginal History"... cites material which supports his contentions and ignores other equally available material which might support the opposite view. Rod Moran leaves himself open to similar doubts...Moran's preface throws some doubts on his claims of impartiality...The evidence Moran cites does not always support his conclusions.More important criticisms are lack of adequate context, lack of ballance and insufficient presentation and explication of evidence. — review of Moran's book Sex, Maiming and Murder: Seven case studies into the reliability of Reverend E.R.B. Gribble published in the Australian Aboriginal Studies journal by Sylvia Hallam

    Is the source, Ahab wailing in the wilderness Quadrant June 2003 Pg 30-33, a reliable source per WP policies and does the text reflect the source's claims? Wayne (talk) 07:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

    To paraphrase how another user has put it, is it responsible Misplaced Pages editing to include text based on commentary (by Green) on a source (in this case Moran’s books and articles) where that commentary can be seen to be false simply by reading the source commented upon? When an academic gets it obviously wrong, makes demonstrably false claims or puts false information in print, why would we want to allow those false claims or that false information into Misplaced Pages?
    Green makes claims that sources referred to by Moran do not exist or do not contain the information Moran says they do. Let’s take the first example, Wayne has given from Green’s article: “He did not, as Moran claimed, assist Trower in the investigation, and the Trower report, alluded to by Moran, does not exist..”
    Moran does not claim that “he” (being Police Sergeant Buckland) assisted Bishop Trower in the investigation nor did Moran refer to “the Trower report”. In Massacre Myth (Moran, Rod (1999). Massacre myth: An investigation into allegations concerning the mass murder of Aborigines at Forrest River. Bassendean: Access Press. ISBN 0-86445-124-5.), Moran refers to Trower twice only, on page 41 Moran wrote:
    “The Commissioner obviously knew of the case because he remarked that Bishop Trower, who was at Forrest River at the time, said there was nothing in the allegations. (Q2625) The latter had carried out his own enquiry into the matter. But Nairn pointed out that Gribble had said there had been a massacre of a whole camp. At Q2629 he asked Neville: “You found no justification for Mr Gribble’s report?” He replied: “No. We found that natives had not been killed”. In fact, the enquiry found that the police had acted in self-defence while trying to apprehend a murderer.”
    The Neville referred to here was A.O. Neville, Chief Protector of Aborigines in Western Australia.The enquiry referred to by Neville was the official enquiry.
    Moran’s second reference to Trower is on page 152: “However on investigation, it was found that, in the words of , Chief Protector Neville—in response to the question “You found no justification for Mr Gribble’s report?” --- at Q2629: “No. We found that natives had not been killed”. The Commissioner himself noted earlier that “I think…Bishop {Trower] reported that there was nothing in the allegations”.
    So Moran does not claim that there was a 'report', in the form of some kind of document. He merely notes Commissioner Wood’s use of the word ‘reported’ in terms of what the Bishop said. There are no other references to Trower in Moran's book.
    Let’s have a look at the next part of Wayne’s selection of examples: “Moran claimed that "according to descendants," Jack Gribble "served a disreputable period as a missionary on Melville Island", was a bigamist and that he engaged in shady land deals. Jack Gribble has only one and she denied making any of the derogatory statements Moran attributed to her...”
    The references to Jack Gribble Melville Island and the phrases "according to descendants," "served a disreputable period as a missionary on Melville Island" and the allegations regarding land dealings, bigamy, etc, come from page 215 of Massacre Myth. He gives a footnote for that paragraph. Moran makes no reference whatsoever to Jack Gribble’s female descendant, he identifies the source in the footnote 23 as “Gribble and Race Relations, p 432” (this is Dr Christine M. Halse’s thesis where she says on pp 432-433 “Of his later life, the Gribble family and others talk shyly about shady land-deals, a disreputable stint as a missionary on Melville Island, and a court-trial on a charge of bigamy.225” and she gives the following reference for those points (reference number) 225 "interview, Mary Oxborrow and Mrs Eric Gribble, Sydney, 12 March 1986." So it is Dr Christine Halse who reported the interview. Green, however, chooses not to let the reader know that fact.
    There are a couple of other examples of Green misrepresenting what Moran used as sources or found in sources on the talk page, if anyone wants to take a look.
    Can we really say Green’s article is a reliable source?
    The fact is there are 2 principal books written about Forrest River, one by Neville Green and the other by Rod Moran. There should be fair and accurate representation of both in the article. The fact is that some historians have commmented unfavourably on Moran's work and some including Professor David Day and Dr Josephine Flood have commented favourably. Incidentally that claim in the Hallam review that "Moran states explicitly that he is following the example of Keith Windschuttle's recent book "The Fabrication of Aboriginal History" happens to be false too. There is no source whatsoever for the claim.60.225.253.141 (talk) 09:21, 22 February 2013 (UTC) I see that my ISP address has been reset/changed again.

    Simply reading the source commented upon for Misplaced Pages to come to a conclusion regarding the reliability of Green is not permitted. The subject is prominent enough that the three academics who support Moran should have published something in the 10 years since Green published. Your entire post is irrelevant, synthesis and original research and as such can not be used to determine reliability. For an example of why we can't use original research... you claim that Green is making a false claim because Moran was only citing Halse. That is irrelevant as Moran still made the claim in his own book without any fact checking which would have quickly revealed that Jack Gribble was serving in the Navy for the entire period in question and that the mission on Melville Island was Roman Catholic, making it unlikely that Gribble, who was a Protestant minister, was acting as a missionary for them. Thus Green's criticism was correct. As for the two books, we have the mainstream view (ie:historian Neville Green's peer reviewed book) that the massacre occurred and the minority view (ie:journalist Rod Moran's self published book) that no massacre occurred. We must give prominence to the mainstream view regardless of the Misplaced Pages editors own views. Moran's book is adequately covered. Wayne (talk) 13:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    You seem to have a somewhat flexible view of what Misplaced Pages standards are for preferred sources. The statement: “Of his later life, the Gribble family and others talk shyly about shady land-deals, a disreputable stint as a missionary on Melville Island, and a court-trial on a charge of bigamy.” and the reference for it are contained in Dr Christine M. Halse’s PhD thesis (which since it was specifically about Ernest Gribble and his family, makes her the leading academic expert on the 'field' of the Gribbles). This thesis went through the entire process of review, acceptance and approval by the University of Queensland. The claims by Neville Green "that Jack Gribble was serving in the Navy for the entire period in question and that the mission on Melville Island was Roman Catholic, making it unlikely that Gribble, who was a Protestant minister, was acting as a missionary for them" are contained in an article dashed off by Green and published in Quadrant magazine. You are saying that Green's magazine article, which did not go through any process of peer-review, is to be regarded as correct and is to be preferred to Dr Halse's PhD thesis? By any standard, both Misplaced Pages and Moran are fully entitled to accept that Halse is the reliable source, not Green, and since Moran relied on the reliable source, he has to be regarded as correct on this issue.60.225.253.141 (talk) 09:29, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    Next point, you refer to Moran's book as "self-published" which is a term that has a defined meaning. Moran's book was published and sold by Access Press which expressly advertises on its website that it does not provide self-publishing services. So that's an incorrect claim by you.
    It seems that your idea of Misplaced Pages editing is that editors must switch off their brains. If text is based on claims that are obviously false, editors are obliged to remove it.60.225.253.141 (talk) 10:04, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

    OpenSecrets.org

    Is the use at KochPAC proper in using pages from OpenSectrets.org to make statements which use information compiled from that site? Specifically the detailed information about how many candidates received X amount of money from the PAC? In addition, claims are made in that article which do not even seem to originate from Opensecrets.org on the pages cited at all. Thanks. Collect (talk) 13:02, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

    First, are there other secondary sources that contradict the OpenSecrets compilations? Second, Center for Responsive Politics is the OpenSecrets group. They are a respected organization, publishing contributions in a non-partisan manner. Third, they are cited in hundreds of Misplaced Pages articles. Finally, if you know of "facts" at the KochPAC article that are not supported by the cited sources, then tag them with the failed verification template. Binksternet (talk) 13:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    You answer what I did not ask -- my question is whether the counting of how many received how much money is, in fact, SYNTH when the claim is not explicit on the source. That is "3 received $X " where the source is a list from which the "3" is a derived figure. In short - since I did not say the raw data was wrong, answering that is nicely irrelevant. The question posed is - are figures derived from the raw data also proper? Collect (talk) 13:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    Misplaced Pages:SYNTHNOT#SYNTH_is_not_summary makes it clear to me at least that this particular summarization is entirely proper. Richard Keatinge (talk) 13:58, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    WP:CALC allows simple math in Misplaced Pages articles, such as adding multiple figures from multiple sources. Binksternet (talk) 14:15, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
    I agree with Richard Keatinge and Binksternet in regard whether the summaries are reliable. However, there used to be an identical page that was not referring to KochPAC, but to Koch Industries; which included KochPAC, any other PACs run by any of the Koch companies, and contributions by self-identified employees of Koch companies. Assuming good faith on CRP's part, it would be logical to assume that this is still the combined data, although now it says KochPAC, and hence not appropriate for this article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:01, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

    Second hand account from a primary source

    Decided that it might worth checking for. Source in question is a primary source, to be more precise it is a personal account of the author regarding to the events in question. However in a preceding section of the book the author has noted not being at the time of the event at the location in question. Later when describing the event on entry marked as '14 September' the description is phrased as

    Что же здесь произошло?

    Я знал следующее.

    Новый Белоостров, захваченный было противником 4 сентября и отбитый нами на следующий день, снова три дня назад, 11 сентября, оказался в руках врага...

    Rough translation:

    What happened here?

    I knew the following.

    New Beloostrov captured by the enemy was on September 4 and batted us the next day, again, three days ago, on September 11, was in the hands of the enemy...

    So the question is, is a second hand account (since the author has already stated not being at the location at the time) from a primary source a reliable source - since at least for me it appears to be rather questionable source.

    Source in question: Luknitsky, Pavel (1988) (in Russian). Сквозь всю блокаду . Leningrad: Lenizdat. page 58 (In Russian) in article Continuation War used to back up a following statement:

    However, according to Soviet sources the Finns advanced and took the settlement of Novyi Beloostrov on 4 September, but a Soviet counter-attack threw them out the next day

    - Wanderer602 (talk) 05:22, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

    You forgot another source (secondary) which is also used for that statement in the article:
    Russia at War, 1941-1945, by Werth:
    page 228: In the north, on September 4, the Finns occupied the former frontier station of Beloostrov, twenty miles north of Leningrad, but were thrown out on the following day.
    page 265: There is also no doubt that the Finns did, at one moment, push beyond the old frontier, since they captured the Russian frontier town of Beloostrov only twenty miles north-west of Leningrad; here, however, the Russians counter-attacked, and the Finns were thrown out on the very next day, after which this part of the front was stabilised.
    -YMB29 (talk) 06:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    I never forgot it. However Werth does not discuss N. Beloostrov in his text - instead he uses reference just to 'Beloostrov'. This is rather crucial since the nearby S. Beloostrov saw fighting at the time mentioned - as documented in plethora of secondary sources. In addition the Werth does not have relevance to the reliability of Luknitsky's diary. Especially since if you combine information from two separate sources you are already violating wikipedia rules. - Wanderer602 (talk) 06:51, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    No, the Werth book is relevant to the text from the article which you quoted, since that text is attributed to these two sources.
    Only N. Beloostrov had a station, so the two sources are talking about the same location. -YMB29 (talk) 07:05, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    Problem is the Werth is not discussing of any railroad station, instead he is referring to a frontier station. Only location he mentions is 'Beloostrov' which can refer to either of the two possibilities. Just because you make your personal conclusion on the source that it would be discussing of N. Beloostrov it does not mean that it would actually be doing so - that is called OR. - Wanderer602 (talk) 07:10, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    Like I said before, the station can only refer to a railway station, unless you think it was the 18th century US and not the 20th century USSR... -YMB29 (talk) 07:22, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    Wrong once again, by making the conclusion that it can only refer to a railway station you are already doing OR because the source does not say so. Also i never referred to anything in 18th century US, that is once again all your conclusions and OR from you. - Wanderer602 (talk) 07:40, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    Well if it is not a railway station then what else can it be?
    Common sense is not OR... -YMB29 (talk) 08:07, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    That is not for us to decide since it is would a conclusion done beyond what the sources are stating. Any 'conclusion' or use of 'common sense' goes beyond what the source is stating. Also for the note that source is still not relevant to the discussion at hand. - Wanderer602 (talk) 08:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)


    Also, the correct translation for the above Russian text is:
    What happened here?
    I knew the following.
    Novyi Beloostrov was captured by the enemy on September 4 and retaken by us the next day, but three days ago, on September 11, it was in the hands of the enemy again.
    -YMB29 (talk) 06:43, 23 February 2013 (UTC)


    Luknitsky was a war correspondent. I don't understand why Wanderer602 thinks that he had to personally witness an event for his information to be considered reliable. -YMB29 (talk) 07:05, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    It does not matter what his position was. The work he made is a personal, unofficial, diary of the events in which the author admits the information regarding the fighting at the N. Beloostrov on 4 September 1941 to be second hand information. That is the only thing that matters. - Wanderer602 (talk) 07:12, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    He does not admit anything... I still don't understand why you think he had to be there himself for his information to be reliable. -YMB29 (talk) 07:22, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
    He states at not being at location at the time of the event and then states that he suddenly 'knew' something which had not witnessed. If it was not first hand information then it was second hand information (by definition, not by conclusion). Also it would be polite if you kept your OR from this discussion. - Wanderer602 (talk) 07:40, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
