Revision as of 20:17, 2 August 2017 by Geo Swan (talk | contribs) (informationectomy)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In this edit an inexperienced editor, one with only a dozen or so edits, excised a paragraph about a well reported crane climbing incident, with the edit summary "I have removed the bit about MArisa and the article by FARLEY. As the Globe and Mail piece is an oped it would be considered a primary source and wouldn't be acceptable per Misplaced Pages:MEDRS."
I question whether any of the references they excised should be considered a primary source. An article by daredevel Marisa Lazo, or rescue fire captain Rob Wonfors, would be a primary source. A plain ordinary newspaper article is not a primary source.
Nor do I agree that the article in the Globe and Mail is an "op-ed", or otherwise barred from use here.
After waiting a reasonable period of time, if no one can defend this informationectomy, I'll restore the passage. Geo Swan (talk) 20:16, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
