| == Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources == | |||
| Please note that the policy says that it "requires inline citations for any material challenged or ''likely to be challenged'', and for all quotations." This means that no citation is required for material that no reasonable person would challenge, and material that is already fully sourced in the body of the article would surely fall into that category, no? See ]: "Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material. Leads are usually written at a greater level of generality than the body... less likely to require a source." In other words, you could just delete the citation here instead of the text if you thought the citation did nothing to "aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material." If you genuinely wished to challenge the accuracy of that text (you seriously doubt the stories saying Snowden received an asylum permit on August 1?), you could then just add a "citation needed" note.--] (]) 23:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC) | |||

| == Friendly note == | |||
| Hi there John, just a weird quirk with me, but I wonder if you could refrain from "thanking" me for edits? Nothing personal at all, and I'm glad you're enjoying them ;) Thanks, '''<span style="text-shadow:7px 7px 8px #B8B8B8;">]]]</span>''' 02:51, 18 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :John, it appears that after my 'friendly note', you have been following me and making edits based on a lack of understanding basic RS guidelines. Regarding Poitras, it was her reporting that won the Pulitzer, which is why the Greenwald and Gellman articles also mention the award, as it was the reporting of the 4 that is recognized as responsible. Wikihounding can be easily proven, and isn't smiled upon. Do not follow me around. Why would you complain at the article where I added this Pulitzer mention, but not the other 2 journalists? | |||
| :Another problem is your tagging my cited information at Snowden. What I typed is found in the source. I am not responsible for proving that what the author wrote is fact, nor expanding upon it by naming specific critics/incidents.

| All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's ] content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging.

| If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems: | |||
| *'''Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating''' articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with. | |||
| *'''Avoid linking''' to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see ]). | |||
