It is a collaborative website which allows users to post messages and links, earn points by predicting the outcomes of future elections, and enter historical election information. The website is built by the members as they enter site content. When you create an account, you are able to post messages. With good solid participation in this area, the website owner (Randy) or others with high enough access may increase your access to more functions of site creation. This will enable you to help make the website more comprehensive and useful for other people who are interested in politics. This is the true power of the website. OurCampaigns (OC) is also a web community. The users become a small e-family, which means that family dynamics come into play in the discussions. Be quick to forgive, slow to take offense, and quick to admit an error. Most of all, enjoy your time at OC!</blockquote> Previous discussions: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_26#ourcampaigns.com" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 26">Jan 2009</a>: Post suggesting it be removed from all articles</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_75#http://www.ourcampaigns.com/" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 75">Sep 2010</a>: "looks like an open Wiki"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_174#OurCampaigns" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 174">July 2014</a>: points to <a href="/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/September_2014#OurCampaigns.com" title="MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/September 2014">request for blacklist</a>, declined because "site is dead"</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_234#Votesmart_and_Ourcampaigns" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 234">Dec 2017</a>: brief discussion</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_293#ourcampaigns.com" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 293">May 2020</a>: discussion that leans toward reliable for election results, but some reservations stated</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_335#RfC_-_ourcampaigns.com" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 335">Feb 2021</a>: RfC that elapsed; consensus seems to indicate generally unreliable, disagreement over blacklisting; archived without closure</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_336#Ourcampaigns.com_(again)" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 336">April 2021</a>: RfC that put OurCampaigns on WP:RSPS as "generally unreliable"</li></ul> To me, it should be blacklisted. I used to be okay with its inclusion in articles, even adding it to articles myself, as there's not many sources for older elections (actually there is and I'll get to that) and they provide data sources for most of their pages. Recently, I was gifted United States Congressional elections, 1788-1997: the official results of the elections of the 1st through 105th Congresses by a fellow wikipedian, which I have started replacing OurCampaigns with since its actually reliable. The first article I've done this with is the <a href="/wiki/1830%E2%80%9331_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections" title="1830–31 United States House of Representatives elections">1830–31 United States House of Representatives elections</a> (which cut it down by 13,000+ bytes, yippe). To my disappointment, the book doesn’t include county returns, which was shocking because most OurCampaigns pages cite that book as their only source, yet also include a county map. For example, the page for the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=394330">IL At-Large election</a> cites only that book as its source but somehow also has a map. Where did they get that information? For all I know, it could've been completely madeup. In addition to its maps lacking any source, OurCampaigns frequently gets information wrong. In some cases, it’s a minor discrepancy, with numbers being slightly off, but in others, it's egregious. Again, using the IL At-Large page as an example, there are two more candidates listed than are reported in the source: "James Dunkin" and "Write-In Nonpartisan." Where they come from? They're not in the source provided. Another egregious example is with the 13 trials for MA Essex North. In the first trial, the book lists <a href="/wiki/Caleb_Cushing" title="Caleb Cushing">Caleb Cushing</a> as running as an independent against the <a href="/wiki/National_Republican" class="mw-redirect" title="National Republican">National Republican</a> candidate, before becoming the National Republican candidate in the later trials (the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=730593">page</a> again has the book as its only source and this time doesn't even incldude a page number. It's page 97 for the first trial and then page 100 for the other 12.) And on the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=730575">MA Bristol page for the first trial</a>, the page gives Russel Freeman 48%, when he is only given 42% in the book. My final example for its blacklisting is a now-blocked (thankfully) IP editor that was going around replacing reliable sources with OurCampaign and <a href="/wiki/Dave_Leip%27s_Atlas_of_U.S._Presidential_Elections" title="Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections">Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections</a> (who I will get to in a separate discussion for another time) sources. Specifically, I'd like to mention this <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1864_United_States_presidential_election_in_Kansas&diff=prev&oldid=1250817617">edit</a> to the <a href="/wiki/1864_United_States_presidential_election_in_Kansas" title="1864 United States presidential election in Kansas">1864 United States presidential election in Kansas</a> where Cheeseborough is shown as a separate candidate for president from the two candidates, like on the OurCampaigns and Atlas sources, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1864_United_States_presidential_election_in_Kansas&diff=next&oldid=1250817617">even though he was only a candidate for the electoral college on the National Union ticket</a>. There's really no reason to use this source. If an editor needs information for an election article, they should seek out reliable sources, maybe even those cited by OurCampaigns. For election data, I recommend <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://elections.lib.tufts.edu/about.html">A New Nation Votes</a>, a website created by <a href="/wiki/Phil_Lampi" title="Phil Lampi">Phil Lampi</a> and run by the <a href="/wiki/American_Antiquarian_Society" title="American Antiquarian Society">American Antiquarian Society</a>, for any election before 1826 (it includes county returns). For any election from 1838-1914, the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000682188?type%5B%5D=all&lookfor%5B%5D=The%20Tribune%20almanac%20and%20political%20register&ft=">Tribune almanac and political register</a> (it includes county returns).

For any gubernatorial election, Dubin's US Gubernatorial Elections, 1776-1860 (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://archive.org/details/michael-j.-dubin-united-states-gubernatorial-elections-1776-1860-the-official-re/page/265/mode/2up">also on archive.org</a>) (it includes county returns). I have access to Dubin's US Gubernatorial Elections, 1861-1911, United States Presidential Elections, 1788-1860, along with US Congressional Elections, 1788-1997, and I know someone with Party Affiliations in the State Legislatures: A Year by Year Summary, 1796-2006, most of which include county returns and that I can send you pages of through discord. <a href="/wiki/User:Wowzers122" title="User:Wowzers122">Wowzers122</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wowzers122" title="User talk:Wowzers122">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Wowzers122-20241014181000-RfC_OurCampaigns-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <ul><li>Blacklisting or deprecation seems overkill.

I understand that most editors don't have access to non-online sources, which is why I am willing to share mine and have provided links to online freely available election data from archives like the Internet Archive, as well as dedicated, professionally run sites like A New Nation Votes and Ballotpedia. <a href="/wiki/User:Wowzers122" title="User:Wowzers122">Wowzers122</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wowzers122" title="User talk:Wowzers122">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Wowzers122-20241016212300-Animalparty-20241015020200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:23, 16 October 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li></ul></li></ul> <dl><dd>Are people actively adding them to articles still? if so, I suppose adding it to the edit filter might be appropriate. <a href="/wiki/User:Alpha3031" title="User:Alpha3031">Alpha3031</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Alpha3031" title="User talk:Alpha3031">t</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Alpha3031" title="Special:Contributions/Alpha3031">c</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Alpha3031-20241018052200-Wowzers122-20241014181000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:22, 18 October 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</dd> <dd>Yes, It should be blocked.

Following the publication of that WaPo article, use of the Hannibal Directive on 7 October has been confirmed by Al Jazeera and Haaretz reporting, lending some credence to EI’s claims. I would not use EI to justify putting the claim that most of the Israelis killed were killed by friendly fire, but they are correct to say that significant aspects of the attack remain unexplained in the absence of an independent investigation, which Israel has prevented. The position that EI’s claims are a conspiracy theory is itself a partisan claim for which there is a shrinking body of evidence. JP’s claims of beheaded babies on the other hand have been thoroughly debunked and will almost certainly stay that way. If anything, JP’s error is more egregious.

We need to be consistent in our treatment of I/P sources, and exercise skepticism and triangulation with all of them. <a href="/wiki/User:Bobfrombrockley" title="User:Bobfrombrockley">BobFromBrockley</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bobfrombrockley" title="User talk:Bobfrombrockley">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Bobfrombrockley-20241029100200-Slatersteven-20241028135900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:02, 29 October 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I just want to say about "the doll story" that I think it shows more than just a reason to be cautious, as what they said about <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://twitter.com/Jerusalem_Post/status/1730991247416766516?t=49GCcWOHj_V21JSEx7yc0A&s=19">faulty sourcing</a> for their reason for retracting does not stand up.

I would lean strongly towards RS from the goodnesses of it being a well-established reputable outfit with local expertise and that they have made retractions and corrections when in error - and basically everyone makes an error sometime so the handling is important - and that WP has generally regarded it as a RS to use in <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?fulltext=Search+the+noticeboard+archives&fulltext=Search&prefix=Wikipedia%3AReliable+sources%2FNoticeboard&search=jerusalem+post&ns0=1">prior RSN</a>.

Outside of the Israel-Palestine area it may well be generally reliable. The problem is that it veers away from mere bias into making incredibly inflammatory false claims that are widely shared and never corrected. The case of "<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-767951">Photos of babies being burnt, decapitated confirmed</a>" stands out in particular. They achieved almost 16 million views with <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://x.com/Jerusalem_Post/status/1712460425529372821?lang=en">this tweet</a> and never retracted it. The article continues to be cited, sometimes by people with far-reaching influence. Detailed investigations by <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://archive.ph/gO9f8">Haaretz</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://archive.ph/Z6cV8">LeMonde</a> and others continue to show that the claims the Jerusalem Post made were false, but as I write this JP has yet to retract or correct the story. The other case was the claim about a Palestinian baby who was killed being a doll. An incredibly inflammatory claim, widespread reach, continuing to be repeated and adding to the <a href="/wiki/Pallywood" title="Pallywood">Pallywood</a> myth. The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67760523">BBC</a> and others showed this to be false. The JP did eventually retract the story, however the author of the piece <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231202054543/https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/gaza-news/article-776109">Danielle Greyman-Kennard</a> continues to work for them to this day as their <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.jpost.com/author/danielle-greyman-kennard">"Breaking News Writer and Editor"</a>. The same is true of the "Photos..." piece, where the author continued to work for the JP for many months afterwards. This is what makes the Jerusalem Post's coverage of Israel-Palestine stand apart from reliable sources in this topic area. Yes, they may also be biased (i.e. the Times of Israel) but they did not publish outright disinformation as verified reporting to millions of readers, then subsequently refuse to retract or correct it, let alone take action against the responsible author, when proven false by RS. Even when they do issue a retraction, the author in question remains an editor in good standing. These are two especially high profile cases, but disinformation and outright falsehoods find their way into all of their output in this subject area. They wrote about <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-825274">Sinwar's wife having a 32,000 dollar Birkin bag</a> - contrast this coverage with how Haaretz reported it, noting that many pointed out that the claim about the bag was in fact false (<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://archive.ph/G3aAM">https://archive.ph/G3aAM</a>)). This marks the difference between a reliable source in this topic area, and an unreliable tabloid outlet. So, again, option 2/3 for Israel-Palestine. <a href="/wiki/User:Smallangryplanet" title="User:Smallangryplanet">Smallangryplanet</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Smallangryplanet" title="User talk:Smallangryplanet">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Smallangryplanet-20241101123700-Slatersteven-20241028135900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:37, 1 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Re <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">the claim about the bag was in fact false</q>, you linked to Haaretz, but they themselves don't really say it was false; they're just quoting speculation from random Twitter users.

They do this for everything in this topic area, from a handbag to "Photos of babies being burnt, decapitated confirmed" and "Al Jazeera posts blurred doll, claims it to be a dead Palestinian baby". As many have pointed out, even when shown to be platforming misinformation (with serious consequences!) they take no actions to prevent it and continue to employ and publish the people responsible. If the initial article about the handbag was <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">similarly quoting speculation in the other direction</q>, they almost immediately doubled down, so they appear to be perfectly willing to take speculation as verified fact. <a href="/wiki/User:Smallangryplanet" title="User:Smallangryplanet">Smallangryplanet</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Smallangryplanet" title="User talk:Smallangryplanet">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Smallangryplanet-20241102093500-XDanielx-20241101204700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:35, 2 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I think you need to have third party sources discussing the JPosts issues rather than trying to build a case yourself.

So yes, he did concretely state that, but the Forward didn't say that, so the assumption is that he is correct specifically versus what the publisher and editor claimed and what the Forward's reporter confirmed. It would be easy to see how the practice was problematic to him and also is the practice described in the section, since Ashkenazi, the publisher, denied the statement made by Wohlgelernter. The assumption is that Wohlgelernter saw something beyond what the Forward confirmed. The Forward describes the practice which I quoted previously, and it's clear how that could also be what Wohlgelernter was describing, and he just exaggerated slightly or was inexact in his phrasing, or the journalist overstated what he said or meant when transcribing the interview or editing the story. This happens commonly with journalists. I remember speaking once to a journalist years ago who transformed my term "basement" into "attic."

For everyday matters, JP is reliable enough, but JP has several faults that demand caution.

For the I-P conflict, I would apply the following test: <ul><li>is it being cited for non-exceptional, non-contentious content? If so, it can be cited without attribution.</li> <li>is it being cited for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EXCEPTIONAL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EXCEPTIONAL">WP:EXCEPTIONAL</a> or contentious content?

This fact-checking website was briefly <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_451#checkyourfact.com_being_tagged_as_deprecated_(unreliable)_source" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 451">discussed last month</a>, where there appears to be lack of consensus over it's reliability. As requested by <a href="/wiki/User:Animalparty" title="User:Animalparty">Animalparty</a>, here is an example of CYF as a source being removed from an article based exclusively on the unreliability of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DAILYCALLER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DAILYCALLER">WP:DAILYCALLER</a> (<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jackson_Hinkle&diff=prev&oldid=1254519626">see diff</a>). This is where the issue lies: The RfC failed to question CYF; from searching through the discussion, no-one argued that it was unreliable. I otherwise only found one noticeboard discussion (post-RFC) referenced above that was inconclusive. Currently the CYF url is categorised as deprecated based on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RSPUSES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RSPUSES">WP:RSPUSES</a>, as this was added by <a href="/wiki/User:David_Gerard" title="User:David Gerard">David Gerard</a> in February 2024 (<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources&diff=prev&oldid=1209652393">see diff</a>) based on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources/Archive_9#checkyourfact.com_and_the_Daily_Caller" title="Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources/Perennial sources/Archive 9">this discussion</a> at RSP (rather than RSN notably). So is it correct that Check Your Fact is deprecated, because of the 2019 RfC? Ie was the RfC about The Daily Caller (the website), or the entity The Daily Caller, Inc. that owns Check Your Fact? To me it looks like it was specifically about the website, hence there was no discussion over it's subsidiaries. Overall it seems like incorrect "book keeping" to include this url as deprecated when it wasn't discussed here, but maybe I'm mistaken or misunderstood something? And finally the usual question: Should Check Your Fact be considered generally reliable source for use in articles? What this discussion isn't, for those quick to jump to conclusions or misinterpret: 1. This isn't about changing an RSP listing, this is about the interpretation of the 2019 RfC. 2. This isn't about the article referenced as a diff, this only serves as an example.

Per the review, which conducted independent sample testing of the fact checks produced by Check Your Fact, this is a fact-checker that uses the best available primary sources where available (to avoid games of <a href="/wiki/Chinese_whispers" class="mw-redirect" title="Chinese whispers">telephone</a>; see criteria 3.2), uses multiple sources of evidence where available (see criteria 3.3), makes public a clear structure for editorial control with three dedicated editors (see criteria 4.3-4.4), lists a <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://checkyourfact.com/methodology/">public methodology</a> (see criteria 4.5-5.1), provides relevant evidence to support or undermine claims when applicable (see criteria 5.3), applies its methodology consistently regardless of who is making the claim (see criteria 5.4), attempts to seek comment from individuals who made claims, when possible (see criteria 5.5), has a published <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://checkyourfact.com/corrections/">corrections policy</a>, and publishes corrections when applicable (see criteria 6.3), among other items. Funding for the project comes from Facebook (via its fact-checking contracts) and The Daily Caller (via advertising revenue and its general budget). Since <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.axios.com/2019/04/17/facebook-fact-checking-partners-poynter">at least 2019</a>, Check Your Fact has been editorially independent of The Daily Caller's newsroom, though it is owned by The Daily Caller.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>Based on the independence of the newsroom for Check Your Fact, and the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IFCN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IFCN">WP:IFCN</a>'s certification of the source as a fact-checker, I do think that this is a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GREL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GREL">generally reliable</a> fact checker. — <a href="/wiki/User:Red-tailed_hawk" title="User:Red-tailed hawk">Red-tailed hawk</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Red-tailed_hawk" title="User talk:Red-tailed hawk">(nest)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Red-tailed_hawk-20241113192600-Survey:_Check_Your_Fact" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:26, 13 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li></ul> <ul><li>Option 2/3 While I am receptive to the relatively positive report at the International Fact-Checking network I have some concerns about the methodology. Particularly 1.5 ignores corporate ownership as a potential source of bias. 2.1 allows the fact-checking agency to self-select the facts it checked for review. 5.1 only states that a methodology exists but the link to the actual posted methodology <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://checkyourfact.com/methodology/">[43]</a> is absurdly vague. 6.2 points to a corrections page but articles to do with hot-button social issues such as abortion access / planned parenthood on the corrections page contain no information beyond that the article was taken down for not meeting editorial standards. So not exactly a correction so much as a redaction. 6.5 assumes that the parent company "has and adheres to an open and honest corrections policy" which I don't believe to be the case notwithstanding the certification of IFCN. Furthermore the IFCN rubrick does not sufficiently address the ways in which the selection decisions of what facts to check can necessarily impact the metanarrative of a fact-checking website. Because of this I find the IFCN certification not entirely persuasive. However it is persuasive enough that I wouldn't go straight to option 4. <a href="/wiki/User:Simonm223" title="User:Simonm223">Simonm223</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Simonm223" title="User talk:Simonm223">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Simonm223-20241113194700-Survey:_Check_Your_Fact" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:47, 13 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>With due respect, I would contrast <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">2.1 allows the fact-checking agency to self-select the facts it checked for review</q> with the random sampling enforced in 1.4, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5.

I don't see the reason why we should have a whole ass RFC on a source that is used on Wikipedia all of two times, and for which both previous discussions were heavily focused on some vague abstract notion of reliability rather than any challenges to use in context, as is more typically appropriate for this noticeboard. I would oppose making any changes to RSP based on such abstract and meta discussions in general. As for the specifics, I don't think a single affiliation is sufficient to establish a <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">reputation</q>, and it seems to early to call the organisation <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">well-established</q>, so I cannot endorse a classification as generally reliable. For its use on <a href="/wiki/Conspiracy_theories_about_the_2024_Atlantic_hurricane_season#FEMA_blocking_aid" title="Conspiracy theories about the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season">the hurricane article</a> specifically, the primary issue I see here is not reliability, but that neither source actually directly supports the text in question, which is also rather <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SOME" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SOME">weaselly</a> (<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">some have claimed</q>, really?). Being threatened with arrests or execution is not the same as actually being arrested or executed, as I'm sure nobody actually executed will dispute, so rumours of actual vs threatened action should ideally not be equated either.

The fact is: That HK01 article is a secondary reporting about an online game-related controversy that involve online personalities; that means reporting about the whats and whos. Instead, you falsely represent it as HK01 "citing" online personalities. It is simply a dishonest effort to disregard a reliable source. In fact, if you actually read the part where they report about the Sweet Baby Inc incident (the thing you are using to disregard HK01), HK01's own commentary specifically mention that there is no evidence for it. And I quote: "當然，以上推測雖然符合情理和邏輯，但始終來源只是網民的帖文，並無任何實質證據支持；因此不能一口咬定是 SBI 有向遊戲科學提出收取指導費，也不能斷言是 SBI 因為收不到錢而發動輿論攻勢，自然也不能斷定 IGN 和 SBI 有任何關係。" So your claim that they are supporting conspiracy theories is false, while it is clear they do not. --<a href="/wiki/User:Cold_Season" title="User:Cold Season">Cold Season</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Cold_Season" title="User talk:Cold Season">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Cold_Season-20241109063100-Simonm223-20241108124200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Nowhere in that article does HK01 "<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">stated that the article's examples had been mistranslated and taken out of context</q>", they report that people online have stated that referencing a community note from twitter.

As far as your content adjustment goes, it still buries that the claims from HK01's article are from social media, "they explained that online claims have long pointed out".

HK01’s article explicitly states that the source of these claims is “some online speculation,” and they even clarify that “although this speculation may seem logical, it ultimately comes only from netizens’ posts, with no substantive evidence; therefore, it cannot be concluded that SBI requested consulting fees from Game Science, nor can it be asserted that SBI launched a public relations campaign due to unpaid fees, nor that there is any connection between IGN and SBI.”</dd> <dd>When HK01 wrote about this topic, it was portraying the sequence of events and the ensuing controversy from a neutral, third-party perspective. HK01 itself did not endorse or confirm this view. If you look at my discussion with Cold Season on the Game Science talk page, you’ll notice Cold Season pointed out that HK01 only reported the events from a neutral viewpoint without expressing support for the claims and even clarified “with no substantive evidence to support it; therefore, it cannot be concluded that SBI requested consulting fees.”</dd> <dd>In my citation of HK01, I wrote “According to online rumor,” not “According to HK01.” The intention was not to express a specific viewpoint but merely to provide a third-party account of the event, which HK01 happened to report in this way without any editorializing. It’s standard practice for media to neutrally report online opinions when covering the origins and development of a controversy. For example, IGN reported on online rumors about supposed behind-the-scenes manipulation in voting <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.ign.com/articles/explaining-and-fixing-igns-face-off-controversy">https://www.ign.com/articles/explaining-and-fixing-igns-face-off-controversy</a>. In this article, IGN also referenced a significant amount of online commentary.</dd> <dd>The claim that HK01’s account comes from Asmongold is incorrect. Rumors about this incident had already circulated in the Chinese online community before Asmongold’s involvement, and HK01 never mentions Asmongold at all. Snakester95’s point that Asmongold used ChatGPT for translation is irrelevant to HK01. As a Chinese-language media outlet in Hong Kong, HK01 certainly doesn’t need Asmongold or ChatGPT to understand or translate Game Science’s Chinese statements about gender discrimination. You don't actually think a Chinese-language media outlet can't understand Chinese, right? And surely you don't believe a Chinese-language outlet would need a non-native Chinese speaker to explain the meaning of Chinese to them.Furthermore, HK01’s coverage was solely a third-party report without presenting its own opinion.</dd> <dd>This discussion also proposes to ban HK01 as a source on gaming topics while accepting its reliability for local Hong Kong news. However, this is a contradictory stance. If you question HK01’s credibility as a media source, it would logically lead to its removal from Wikipedia as a source altogether. Accepting HK01 as a reliable source for general news while discrediting it on gaming topics implies inconsistency. If HK01 is considered reliable for reporting on Hong Kong or Chinese affairs, then it should be equally valid as a source for game-related topics. In fact, topics related to Game Science do not only fall under the category of gaming but also involve local Chinese news. Game Science is a Chinese company, and coverage of it is not solely due to its connection to gaming but also because it involves aspects of local Chinese news. Any topic has multiple dimensions, making it impossible to simply exclude a media outlet based on subject. Since HK01 is a mainstream media outlet in Hong Kong, there should be no issue with it being used as a source, and there is no reason to exclude it. Unless you believe that all media from Hong Kong is untrustworthy and should be entirely excluded.<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:YuelinLee1959&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:YuelinLee1959 (page does not exist)">YuelinLee1959</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:YuelinLee1959" title="User talk:YuelinLee1959">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-YuelinLee1959-20241113142400-Simonm223-20241108124200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>You have to read the sources you're discussing more, I spend a large chunk of my replies explaining your own sources to you.

So, what you're saying is that IGN's article linked to Asmongold's video, not HK01, meaning that Asmongold's video has no connection to HK01. The fact that you referenced Asmongold’s video cannot undermine the authority of HK01 as a mainstream media outlet. Asmongold's video has nothing to do with HK01. Therefore, using Asmongold's video to question HK01's reliability as a mainstream media outlet is unrelated, and the video should not be used to challenge HK01’s credibility. Thus, your previous use of Asmongold's video to question HK01's legitimacy was misguided. HK01 is a mainstream Hong Kong media outlet, and unless you're planning to exclude all Hong Kong media as sources, HK01 should not be excluded as a source.</dd> <dd>Also, I have never mentioned anything about Asmongold in my edits to the article. The first time I encountered this person was when you brought him up. If you hadn’t mentioned him, I wouldn’t even know who he is. I don’t recall ever referring to this person in anything I wrote. I truly don’t understand how you found a connection to Asmongold in content where I used HK01 as a source. I’ve never written about this person, nor do I know him. Even on the talk page, I never brought him up. As far as I remember, you were the one who mentioned him, and at the time, I didn’t even know who he was. Please look over our discussions—when have I ever referred to this person?</dd> <dd>If we’re assuming good faith, you shouldn’t be deliberately misrepresenting my edits and statements. I completely fail to understand how this topic got redirected to Asmongold through your interpretation.</dd> <dd>So, from the very beginning, there was no basis for the claim that HK01’s content was sourced from Asmongold. You’re the only one who has mentioned Asmongold—I never referenced him in my article edits, nor did I mention him in the talk page discussions. I didn’t even know who he was initially. As a Chinese-language media outlet, HK01 can fully understand whether Game Science's Chinese statements are related to sexism on its own. What reason would there be to rely on a non-native Chinese speaker for translation? The fact is, HK01 did not use Asmongold as a source; this was simply a misunderstanding on your part. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:YuelinLee1959&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:YuelinLee1959 (page does not exist)">YuelinLee1959</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:YuelinLee1959" title="User talk:YuelinLee1959">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-YuelinLee1959-20241114100600-Snakester95-20241113213800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I don't know how you can be involved in this topic if you have no idea what you're talking about or replying to.

Here's where HK01 linked to the video both in Chinese, "在網上早就有人指出" and the English Google translation, "have long pointed out that". In the English translation, "pointed out that" has the link in their article.

Moreover, HK01 never claimed this was Asmongold’s opinion, nor did it even mention him. In fact, this view didn’t originate from Asmongold in the first place.</dd> <dd>Now, answer me one question: Was Asmongold the first person to propose this view? Yes or no—give me a clear answer. Was this view already present before Asmongold mentioned it? Yes or no. Lastly, as a Chinese-language media outlet, does HK01 need someone like Asmongold, who isn’t a native Chinese speaker, to help it understand Chinese? Yes or no?</dd> <dd>Actually, you don’t even need to answer, because the answers are obvious:</dd> <dd>HK01 is a Chinese-language media outlet and does not need Asmongold to help it understand Chinese.</dd> <dd>HK01 simply described the events from a third-party perspective and didn’t express its own opinion. Its descriptions of the events are factual—people online did propose this view, and HK01 merely reported on it without endorsing it.</dd> <dd>This view did not originate from Asmongold. It existed long before him, and HK01 didn’t mention him at all. This view has been present on Chinese-language platforms for a long time. Therefore, HK01 did not rely on Asmongold to “translate” or interpret Chinese.In fact, the idea that a Chinese-language media outlet would rely on someone who isn’t a native Chinese speaker to understand Chinese is illogical.

That would simply be them being selective about what to report. It doesn't make them unreliable for the facts that they have reported. It is completely true that there was antisemitic violence, and Sky News have reported this reliably. That there was also other violence, and wider context, doesn't make what Sky News said unreliable. It makes them biased. That means we should be cautious about inheriting their framing of the situation, but there is no reason not to use them as a source for the fact that there was antisemitic violence. We can use other sources for other facts and perspectives.

They appear to have acted cautiously, in a breaking news environment with significant fog of war. That's exactly what we would want a RS to do. There are other outlets who have published false claims about who the men in the video were, but Sky News, as far as I'm aware, is not one of these, and some of the complaints appear to conflate Sky News with those outlets.

I've excluded reprints of press releases for these examples. Cross Rhythms and HM are among the most reputable and well-known sources for Christian music, the latter being the prime journalism outlet regarding Christian hard rock and metal music.[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] The site founder, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://hmmagazine.com/author/bjones/">Brandon Jones</a>, and another writer, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://cmnexus.org/profiles/Lloyd_Harp/writing/page1">Lloyd Harp</a>, both also write for HM as well (Jones since 2017 and Harp since at least <s>2009</s> 2007) and thus have credentials outside IVM. There are multiple writers for the site besides those two individuals, which I believe satisfies the having a writing and editorial staff. The concern from Graywalls is, I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) the professionalism of the team and if the site owner practices actual editorial oversight over his writers (to quote them, "If you and I were both auto enthusiasts who track race together and we buddy up with you being the writer and me being the editor, that's not sufficient to make our web zine as a WP:RS with editorial oversight "). Though there are multiple staff writers, especially over the past two decades, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/contactus/">Brandon lists himself for contact</a> and doesn't list the writers. So I can understand part of the concern. I will note that there is one writer who is also a member of several bands (they might also be a Wikipedia editor and thus at this juncture I won't name them so they're not outed - it was actually that COI that prompted Graywalls to bring up the issue of if IVM is reliable), and thus of course would be unreliable for coverage of those bands, same as Doug Van Pelt, the founder of HM, is unreliable for coverage of <a href="/wiki/Lust_Control" title="Lust Control">Lust Control</a> (because he's a member of it), except for as statements from the band themselves. Given the above reputation, I don't personally see warrant for this suspicion. IVM functions the same as other online metal sources deemed RS, such as <a href="/wiki/No_Clean_Singing" title="No Clean Singing">No Clean Singing</a> (which is predominantly a team of three) and <a href="/wiki/MetalSucks" title="MetalSucks">MetalSucks</a>. The blog format is how most of these sites function now, including HM. Indeed, Brandon Jones mentions in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/articles/staff-blog-brandon-jones-february-29th/">his site bio</a> that the site wasn't always a blog format and they adopted that structure for the site because that was what became practical in the mid-2000s. The site also operated/s a record label, but that I'm considering separate issue as that doesn't establish reliability. I'd also stress that any artist published via the Indie Vision Label would thus present a COI with IVM news/review coverage of that artist and should not be used other than for statements about the artist themselves. The TL;DR - Indie Vision Music has been used on Wikipedia for over a decade, has multiple writers under a site owner, has been used by other, more mainstream sources as a source, even called by one of them "well regarded", and both the owner and another writer write for a magazine that is a prime source for the subject niche. However, another writer has a COI with some artists, the website operated/s a music label which could have some COI issues with specific artists, and an editor has questioned, due to the one COI issue and the blog structure of the site, whether actual editorial oversight is practiced.--<a href="/wiki/User:3family6" title="User:3family6">3family6</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:3family6" title="User talk:3family6">Talk to me</a> | <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/3family6" title="Special:Contributions/3family6">See what I have done</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-3family6-20241114221700-Indie_Vision_Music" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>The real question comes to is the editorial process compared to that of the <a href="/wiki/Time_Magazine" class="mw-redirect" title="Time Magazine">Time Magazine</a>, or is it more along that of two well known and popular, but generally unusable <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FORBESCON" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FORBESCON">Forbes Contributors</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:HUFFPOCON" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:HUFFPOCON">Huffington Post contributors</a> sources?</dd> <dd>Many of the writers in IVM articles are band members, rather than professionally trained journalists.</dd> <dd>Things to be addressed here are:</dd> <dd>What sort of things can it be relied on for factual accuracy?</dd> <dd>Is it of any use at all for establishing notability and if so, for what?</dd> <dd><a href="/wiki/User:3family6" title="User:3family6">3family6</a> said it's reliable because it's in the Christian Metal list, but they did acknowledge they are more or less the lone curator of that list, so that list should perhaps be seen similarly as a blog or a personal website. <a href="/wiki/User:Graywalls" title="User:Graywalls">Graywalls</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Graywalls" title="User talk:Graywalls">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Graywalls-20241115051500-3family6-20241114221700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>to clarify, currently I'm essentially the sole contributor, that was not the case 10 years ago when the list was created.

They are not investigative journalists, but rather critics evaluating based on a background in an understanding of musical style and history - which is what you get from most staff who write for e.g. Pitchfork, Allmusic, Popmatters, or Dusted. I don't think the use of the source by one troublesome editor casts doubt on the source generally, and I'm inclined to buy the argument that the writers IVM carries that also write for HM has some weight (since HM is reliable). We'd want to exercise COI caution for any artist directly associated with Indie Vision's label or a musical release from a staff member, but that's not a cause for general concern about the source. <a href="/wiki/User:Chubbles" title="User:Chubbles">Chubbles</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chubbles" title="User talk:Chubbles">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Chubbles-20241117161000-Invisiboy42293-20241116015100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:10, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li></ul> <ul><li>I'm still waiting to hear back from the website/Brandon Jones about the policy, but, I was able to determine that they do issue corrections and edits: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/news/winona-avenue-release-debut-full-length-cd-now-available/">[60]</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/news/my-thoughts-on-the-new-five-iron-frenzy-album/">[61]</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/news/song-of-the-day-freedom-of-soul-freedom-of-soul/">[62]</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/reviews/the-insyderz-the-sinners-songbook/">[63]</a>.

Looking at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/author/brandon-j/">https://www.indievisionmusic.com/author/brandon-j/</a> it sure seems like a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SPS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SPS">self published source</a>. My personal take on it is that it can't be used to support notability. These small time bands are not competing against each other but rather supporting each other. The blogosphere of these band blogs is an echo chamber of like minded bands boosting and praising each other publicly to collectively raise themselves. It's like friends and family writing references for each other. If they offer correction notices, it's better than not doing that, but people do that even on Wikipedia pages with strike out. It's not a one man show, but still a blog. Editorial process that only consists of fixing grammar/spelling and suppressing contents of liability concerns prior to publishing isn't really much of editorial oversight. <a href="/wiki/User:Graywalls" title="User:Graywalls">Graywalls</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Graywalls" title="User talk:Graywalls">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Graywalls-20241119192300-Invisiboy42293-20241116015100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>First, let me address the part about "like-minded bands": Indie Vision Music isn't a band, it's a website, and for awhile was also a record label. So far, it's been shown that one author was in some bands. Authors are allowed to also be musicians, there's nothing wrong with that. And that writer has not written for the site since 2017. "boosting and praising each other publicly to collectively raise themselves." - that's not correct, as the site will give out negative reviews (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.indievisionmusic.com/reviews/breakaway-warrior/">this one, for example</a>). "Editorial process that only consists of fixing grammar/spelling and suppressing contents of liability concerns prior to publishing isn't really much of editorial oversight." What are you referring to here? Hypotheticals aren't useful. Please substantiate them. The correction examples I found and listed above are more than that. Does the review process involve more than that? Maybe yes, maybe no. You are speculating here that they don't actually fact-check. This could be a group blog, which, yes, is an example of a self-published source. Or, this could be a site with an editorial process. We know it has a reputation and is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:USEBYOTHERS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:USEBYOTHERS">used by others</a>. The question is about the editorial process, since that isn't public knowledge.</dd> <dd>Now, as to Brandon Jones and self-published sources, Brandon Jones is the publisher but also writes for the site. Other writers for the site, it's not an issue - they're the writers, he's the publisher, so they aren't self-published. But, are articles by Brandon Jones self-published? I think I asked about cases where a publication owner and publisher writes material for that publication years ago, I think in reference to Doug Van Pelt of HM or John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout. I couldn't find that discussion, and so I brought this to the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Verifiability#Are_articles_written_by_a_publication_owner/publisher_reliable_secondary_sources,_or_are_they_self-published_sources?" title="Wikipedia talk:Verifiability">WP:V talk page</a>. As I asked there, Like, for example, if Ian Danzig writes an article for <a href="/wiki/Exclaim!" title="Exclaim!">Exclaim!</a> (which he owns and publishes), or HM's founder and publisher Doug Van Pelt or Jesus Freak Hideout's owner and publisher John DiBiase write articles for their respective websites, or <a href="/wiki/A._G._Sulzberger" title="A. G. Sulzberger">A. G. Sulzberger</a> writes a story for <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a>, are those articles self-published sources only or are they considered reliable, independent published sources? And basically, it depends. There's actually two current, very active discussions on basically this and more broadly related questions about orgs where the publishing process is internal to the organization (as opposed to an external entity, for example, <a href="/wiki/Blabbermouth.net" title="Blabbermouth.net">Blabbermouth.net</a> being hosted by <a href="/wiki/Roadrunner_Records" title="Roadrunner Records">Roadrunner Records</a>). And there doesn't seem to be a consensus. I think a lot of it depends on the editorial process. On that point, with Indie Vision Music, I think there's two distinct eras to that site on this issue. From 2006 to 2020, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200422080444/https://www.indievisionmusic.com/contactus/">the site had a managing editor, Josh Murphy</a>. That adds a layer of editorial process, both for the site and for Brandon Jones. But, conversely, how much is that editorial control independent when it comes to Brandon's writings, as Brandon will be the one publishing them? That still seems to be a pretty close relation. I don't know if there's an answer here. I think that having a managing editor does indicate an actual editorial process from 2006 to 2020 at least. I still haven't heard back yet what the policy is at present. I don't know if I will get a response (which I don't think proves things one way or the other, it just leaves that question unanswered). I'm wondering if perhaps Brandon's writings from 2017 onward (that year being the year he was hired by HM) are self-published material from a reliable expert in the field, whereas the other writers are not self-published.--<a href="/wiki/User:3family6" title="User:3family6">3family6</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:3family6" title="User talk:3family6">Talk to me</a> | <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/3family6" title="Special:Contributions/3family6">See what I have done</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-3family6-20241120214300-Graywalls-20241119192300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:43, 20 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>From what I've seen, RSN discussions tend to find that anything written by the site runner would be considered self-published.

My point is several Arab sources which are heavily used on Wikipedia have not been designated unreliable, undermining the argument for systematic bias. <a href="/wiki/User:Bobfrombrockley" title="User:Bobfrombrockley">BobFromBrockley</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bobfrombrockley" title="User talk:Bobfrombrockley">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Bobfrombrockley-20241117000600-PARAKANYAA-20241116140500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</dd></dl></dd> <dd>These all appear to be Western-aligned and/or liberal newspapers, some with serious financial COIs. I do agree that it's a bit imprecise to say Wikipedia's systemic bias is against Arab/Muslim sources as a whole, but the fact that many of the Arab/Muslim sources considered reliable are funded by and/or supportive of Western aligned MENA oil and real estate interests is illustrative of exactly the systemic bias problem that @<a href="/wiki/User:Vice_regent" title="User:Vice regent">Vice regent</a> points out. The systematic downgrading of sources critical of Western and Western-aligned perspectives makes Wikipedia more biased and unreliable, and less legitimate to a non-Western audience. Even if the camp of pro-Western sources is broadly more reliable than Russian or Chinese or Iran-aligned sources, excluding the reporting and viewpoint of those sources extensively makes Wikipedia blind when pro-Western sources lie or make an error, which they often do because all media does. <a href="/wiki/User:Unbandito" title="User:Unbandito">Unbandito</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Unbandito" title="User talk:Unbandito">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Unbandito-20241117181700-Bobfrombrockley-20241115233900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:17, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li>Option 2 per above. Despite people throwing links in the section below it hard to find evidence of systematic disinformation in the past 20 years. Reporting that Putin said X (in quotes) doesn't constitute disinformation. Being biased against certain Lebanese politicians (most RS have a certain partisan bias) doesn't make it unreliable. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Vice_regent" title="User talk:Vice regent">VR</a> (Please <a href="/wiki/Template:Ping" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Ping">ping</a> on reply) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Vice_regent-20241115180700-Survey_(Al-Manar)" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:07, 15 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Option 3 per BobFromBrockley pretty much word-for-word.

And we wouldn't make this judgment in the other direction, for example if Al-Manar republished a story from the AP, we wouldn't take that as an indication that they are reliable.

I can't find the Reuters article that Al-Manar claims to have sourced that content from (not to say it doesn't exist, I just can't find it) so that's concerning. However, the Al-Manar article has more material than the RT article, which means at least some of the material must come from a different source. I can't read Arabic outside of the use of translation tools so it's possible that I am missing some nuance here, but the overlapping aspects of the article such as Lukashenko's statement in an interview with Sky News Arabia are not identically phrased (except for the quote itself) as one might expect if the material were republished from RT. So while the Reuters article in question appears to be missing right now, I find the evidence that the article was in fact republished from RT to be insufficient. Even if it were, it's not clear that the information published by RT and allegedly republished by Al-Manar in this case is unreliable, and the material that might be republished is just a quote from a Sky News Arabia interview, so hardly a reflection on either of the sources' reliability. <a href="/wiki/User:Unbandito" title="User:Unbandito">Unbandito</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Unbandito" title="User talk:Unbandito">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Unbandito-20241120235400-Amigao-20241120005700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:54, 20 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Al-Manar's article does not have more text in the body than the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RT.COM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RT.COM">WP:RT.COM</a> article.

Background: Asianet News is an Indian Malayalam-language news channel operated by the Asianet News Network, a subsidiary of Jupiter Entertainment Ventures. Based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, it was launched on September 30, 1995, and is one of the oldest television news channels in India, with a strong team of experienced journalists. Context: Asianet News is frequently cited in various Wikipedia articles, particularly those related to Malayalam cinema. Questions: <ul><li>Is Asianet News trustworthy for celebrity news and entertainment updates?</li> <li>Can its box-office figures be considered credible enough to cite on Wikipedia?</li> <li>How dependable is Asianet News for reporting on general issues in Kerala and other parts of South India?</li> <li>Does its coverage extend beyond Kerala, and is it reliable for reporting on Kannada or other Indian news?</li> <li>Are there any limitations to using Asianet News, particularly for sensitive topics or commercial content?</li> <li>Are there any significant issues related to editorial oversight, accuracy, or sensationalism?</li> <li>Is there any notable history of misinformation or bias associated with this source?</li></ul> Your feedback will help clarify the use of this source in relevant Wikipedia articles. <a href="/wiki/User:Anoopspeaks" title="User:Anoopspeaks">Anoop Bhatia</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Anoopspeaks" title="User talk:Anoopspeaks">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Anoopspeaks-20241118224600-Is_Asianet_News_(asianetnews.com)_a_reliable_source?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:46, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Their article <a href="/wiki/Asianet_Suvarna_News" title="Asianet Suvarna News">Asianet Suvarna News</a> points to sources highlighting some issues.

The about page never uses the word "edit", and makes no apparent mention of an editorial policy. None of the (current or former) writing staff beyond Andy Synn use a recognizable name so it's hard to search for them, but nothing about the descriptions of them suggests they have any significant qualifications beyond this site, and my search for Synn showed that he likely doesn't. The about page does include them self-referencing as a blog founded by a group of friends, which can be something that turns into a professional publication, but that isn't a guarantee, and I don't see anything here that suggests it happened here. <a href="/wiki/User:QuietHere" title="User:QuietHere">QuietHere</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:QuietHere" title="User talk:QuietHere">talk</a> | <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/QuietHere" title="Special:Contributions/QuietHere">contributions</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-QuietHere-20241119055900-3family6-20241119002800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</dd></dl> <ul><li>I didn't check for this initially, but they do issue corrections, even though yes, the policy isn't stated: <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.nocleansinging.com/2009/12/29/math-metal-monday/">[76]</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.nocleansinging.com/2022/11/25/seen-and-heard-on-a-bandcamp-black-friday-host-goatburner-uzkost-formless-architect-slegest-onhou-tchornobog-abyssal/">[77]</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.nocleansinging.com/2011/12/05/girl-growlers-part-4/">[78]</a> (not an exhaustive list)--<a href="/wiki/User:3family6" title="User:3family6">3family6</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:3family6" title="User talk:3family6">Talk to me</a> | <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/3family6" title="Special:Contributions/3family6">See what I have done</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-3family6-20241119104800-3family6-20241119002800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:48, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li></ul> <ul><li>Doesn't address the editorial and credential concerns, and not as strong as the LA Weekly listing, but: it is referenced in this <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-companion-to-metal-music/modern-metal-genres/ABBAE130B36D6FE92C26B02B79C88A38">academic book</a> for a (salty) opinion on djent; is mentioned on <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://ler.letras.up.pt/uploads/ficheiros/19270.pdf">page 4 of this journal article</a>, along with some other blog sources - but as some (Angry Metal Guy, Grizzly Butts) I think are still unreliable for music journalism purposes on Wikipedia, I'm not sure that this means much; and this <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://issuu.com/rockandbluesinternational/docs/page_01_-_r_b_int._8644273c99c9e7">magazine entry (pg. 83)</a> mentions the site helping a song to popularity - not really helpful for reliability, but perhaps notability (which is irrelevant to this noticeboard).

The article includes an added red marking on the food label for a Breyers frozen dessert product to highlight the presence of propylene glycol on the ingredients list. 3. on the same day in 2014, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.seattlepi.com/business/fool/article/FDA-Says-Antifreeze-Ingredient-Propylene-Glycol-5863153.php">the SPI reposts the Motley Fool article.</a> 4. on 27 October 2024, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Breyers&diff=prev&oldid=1253849072">an editor adds the SPI reprint of the Motley Fool article to the Breyers page,</a> to raise the criticism that Breyers uses antifreeze in its products, which was disputed and removed, then added back yesterday in <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Breyers&diff=prev&oldid=1258642570">this edit.</a> 5. disputes ensue on the Breyers article and talk page, with specific talk page discussion on what is a RS for propylene glycol used by Breyers in manufacturing frozen desserts 10+ years ago <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Breyers#Products_2">here.</a> As of 2024, there is no evidence that Breyers product ingredients include propylene glycol. The RS issues to consider may simplify to: 1. is the Motley Fool article a RS for the FDA position on propylene glycol? 2. is the SPI repost of the Motley Fool article a correct RS to use, as supported by two editors on the talk page? 3. is either a 2014 Motley Fool opinion article, or SPI as a republisher, an acceptable RS for use of propylene glycol (or any ingredient) in food manufacturing? This RS issue has a more general application seen commonly (mostly by novice editors) on Wikipedia: which "source" gets attribution? The original author, the original publisher, or the more recent reprint version? In science publishing, attribution goes to the original author(s) ("Smith et al. reported..."), not the journal (incorrect to say "the Journal of X said...), or to the US <a href="/wiki/National_Library_of_Medicine" class="mw-redirect" title="National Library of Medicine">National Library of Medicine</a> for a PubMed search retrieval, or to the university where the scientist-author works. But in the case of this RS topic, the author of the Motley Fool article mentioning an FDA rule on a food additive is <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breyers#cite_note-19">given attribution</a>, but the Motley Fool is not. Rather, the SPI which reposted the original article is now in the Breyers article and posited on the talk page as a "reliable source".

The citation is in wikivoice and attributed to Mark Woodruff in his book Unheralded Victory: The Defeat of the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army, 1961-1973. However, on page 64 of his book, he writes that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">"This American contribution to the Phung Hoang Program was officially born on December 20, 1967, under the operation name, "Phoenix,"</q> so that wikivoice citation in the article of him is obviously inaccurate. Also, the title ("Unheralded Victory: The Defeat of the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army") alone of the indicates the source is biased as it tries to claim that the U.S. actually won the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> were it not for political opposition to the war (see: <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_stab-in-the-back_myth" title="Vietnam stab-in-the-back myth">Vietnam stab-in-the-back myth</a>). According to Woodruff's publisher, he <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">"enlisted in the Marine Corps in July 1967, serving in Vietnam with Foxtrot Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment from December 1967 to December 1968. After leaving the Marine Corps, he received his B.A. and M.A. in psychology from Pepperdine University in California. He is now a lieutenant commander in the Royal Australian Navy and a psychologist with the Vietnam Veterans Counseling Service in Perth, Australia."</q> So he's a Vietnam veteran who later worked as a psychologist. It seems like his only notability on the topic is that he's a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PRIMARY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PRIMARY">WP:PRIMARY</a> source, being a Vietnam vet, and it doesn't appear that he has any credentials in writing about history. Corroborating that Woodruff is an unreliable source, actual historians have been critical of Woodruff. For example, <a href="/wiki/James_H._Willbanks" class="mw-redirect" title="James H. Willbanks">James H. Willbanks</a> wrote that Woodruff's book <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">"<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199791279/obo-9780199791279-0176.xml">Seeks to provide a revisionist military history of the war and to demonstrate in his opinion that the war was won militarily before the United States unilaterally withdrew from the conflict. The author does not sufficiently address why the United States became involved in Southeast Asia in the first place</a>."</q> While, historian Christopher Levesque <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://ir-api.ua.edu/api/core/bitstreams/0d3c447e-0ab4-4893-b532-8db348c5a3a6/content">wrote in his doctoral dissertation</a> that Woodruff made erroneous claims (p. 25) and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">"ignores the individual experiences of the majority of the soldiers who voluntarily spoke to reporters, participated in ad hoc war crimes hearings, or contacted their congressmen"</q> (p. 26). In sum, I think it's quite obvious that Woodruff is clearly an unreliable source and should not be cited on Wikipedia, especially not in wikivoice but I would like to formalize this by establishing a consensus. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Skornezy&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Skornezy (page does not exist)">Skornezy</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Skornezy" title="User talk:Skornezy">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Skornezy-20241122063500-Unheralded_Victory:_The_Defeat_of_the_Viet_Cong_and_the_North_Vietnamese_Army,_1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>It's clear this source shouldn't be cited. <a href="/wiki/User:Remsense" title="User:Remsense">Remsense</a> ‥ <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Remsense" title="User talk:Remsense">论</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-Remsense-20241122063900-Skornezy-20241122063500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:39, 22 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>Putting aside the bad faith accusations of me <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:STONEWALLING" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:STONEWALLING">WP:STONEWALLING</a> and the general non-neutral wording of this request. I'll address the salient issues. Woodruff is the author of 2 books about the Vietnam War, the fact that he doesn't have a degree in military history or claim to be a military historian is no more relevant than for any other author of a military book. Rather we need to look at the quality of the source itself and what reviews it has received. Willbanks says it "Seeks to provide a revisionist military history of the war and to demonstrate in his opinion that the war was won militarily before the United States unilaterally withdrew from the conflict." that is absolutely true and reflects a commonly heard view that the US won the war militarily but lost politically. The critique that "The author does not sufficiently address why the United States became involved in Southeast Asia in the first place" is fair but irrelevant, the focus Woodruff chose for the book is the military defeat of the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army, not why the US became involved in Indochina, a huge topic addressed in numerous other books. Christopher J. Levesque has a Doctorate in History, but does not appear to be a published author and works as a university librarian, so is he a "historian"? Levesque's criticism of Woodruff's book centers around war crimes (the topic of Levesque's dissertation: NOT JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS: AVOIDING AND REPORTING ATROCITIES DURING THE VIETNAM WAR). Woodruff argues that US atrocities were not widespread in Vietnam, Levesque argues otherwise quoting sources like <a href="/wiki/Nick_Turse" title="Nick Turse">Nick Turse</a>. This is a topic where a wide range of views exist. There were only a few proven massacres committed by the US, but plenty of accusations of other US massacres and war crimes. So Levesque's criticism of the book simply reflects that debate and is not sufficient to undermine the reliability of the entire book. FWIW the book has 4.5 stars from 52 reviews on Amazon.

The views of historians in matters of history are more useful than those of military veterans. This is in part because the views of military veterans will be primary sources and historians are trained in interpreting such sources (secondary sources are preferred). A work having been criticised by experts does count against it's reliability. Amazon reviews do not add to a sources reliability in anyway. That Woodruff has been previously published in the area does add to the work reliability, but it's one factor among many. That something is a commonly held view is only important if it's a commonly held view by experts in the specific area (historians in this case). That an opposing view is held by others might be worth discussion in the appropriate article (<a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War#War_crimes" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War#War crimes</a> for instance), if it is attested in other reliable sources, but it might not be due inclusion in every article. Minority views should be included, but only if they do not give undue weight (but that's NPOV not reliability). The work is reliable for the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:INTEXT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:INTEXT">attributed</a> opinion of Woodruff but I don't believe it should be used to state contentious facts in wikivoice, especially if those facts are in opposition to other scholarly works. Inclusion of Woodruff's opinion are a matter of NPOV and should be discussed on the articles talk page. Just because something can be verified doesn't mean it should be included, rather verifiability is required of included content. -- LCU <a href="/wiki/User:ActivelyDisinterested" title="User:ActivelyDisinterested">ActivelyDisinterested</a> «<a href="/wiki/User_talk:ActivelyDisinterested" title="User talk:ActivelyDisinterested">@</a>» °<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/ActivelyDisinterested" title="Special:Contributions/ActivelyDisinterested">∆t</a>° <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#c-ActivelyDisinterested-20241122113200-Polygnotus-20241122104500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:32, 22 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>OK thanks.
