I have ProQuest access, so I can get an image of the ad. It's obviously not public domain, but does it add to readers' understanding of the topic (justifying a fair-use rationale)? Or is it only the text, rather than the structure, layout etc., that is significant? Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:52, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
It is arguable that this article is not even notable enough to be in Misplaced Pages.
But even if it remains, I humbly suggest for its size to be cut down. It is horribly
big. Big articles are harder to verify. Of course, sometimes you can't help but
writing a big article, such as when writing an article about George Washington.
This is because there is a lot of notable information to be said about Washington,
and dozens or even hundreds of Wikipedians care about George Washington, so it will
be verified even if its big.
But in the case of this New York Times ad, we have two conditions
1) The article is pretty big and therefore time-consuming to verify
2) Few people will care about it.
Therefore, the chance of misinformation appearing here is pretty big.
Would you please trim it down? I know you had a lot of work putting all
this together, but please, trim it down. -- Jorge Peixoto (talk) 15:35, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Misinformation is any false information. Misplaced Pages is full of it. The bigger the article, the smaller the chance that people will verify each sentence is in the source, and each source is reliable. Therefore, the bigger the article the greater the chance of misinformation. On the other hand, the greater the amount of Wikipedians that care about the article, the greater the chance that it will be verified. In short: an article few Wikipedians care about should be small. -- Jorge Peixoto (talk) 16:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Do you actually have any productive comments to make about the article? Are there errors you have found? Do you think it is unnavigable? Do you think it could be better organized? "It's just too big, man because we should keep our coverage of Fake Catholics to a minimum even when we have dozens of excellent sources" is not a complaint that anyone can legitimately act on to improve the article.

Take your complaints about me to Wikiquette Assistance, rather than cluttering up yet another article talk page with them, please. Do you actually have any productive comments to make about the article? If so, now would be a good time to post them. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
