Was the IMDB link to the Bizarre Murders episode considered an unreliable source? I saw that source #14 cited IMDB in a similar way. I had just seen the entire episode on Pluto TV and, though they'd changed some details (NYC : Chicago; et al.), the story was clearly based on Michael Malloy. Thx!

Knoxbox01, yes, IMDb is an unreliable source because it contains user-generated content that is poorly vetted by IMDb's editorial board, see WP:IMDB. It should therefore never be used to reference information in articles. Its only acceptable use on Wikipedia is as an external link.

Hi. Would you kindly fix the indenting at the bottom of the Talk page so we can see who is speaking? I'm afraid to do it, since I have been accused of various things on the Talk page. I don't want to be accused of improperly moving people's comments around. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ssilvers, oh, I assumed that's how it should be done since I was not responding to the comment right above me but to Nemov's comment. I.e. when there are multiple editors responding to a single comment, all of them should be on the same level of indentation so to speak. At least that's how I've seen most talk pages formatted. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 20:06, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I prefer for each response to be indented chronologically, so it is easy to see who spoke, and in what order, but some people do it your way, so OK, if you so prefer it. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:44, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This article says that he met Ballinger when he was 13, and she sent the gift to him when he was 15, just to illustrate how these "sources" are just repeating stuff they see on social media. BTW, I have never found Insider to be a bastion of fact-checking. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ssilvers, yikes! Misrepresentation of the facts would be an argument to discard that particular Insider article. Then again, I'm not sure we should take The Sun at their word either. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 23:53, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Right, none of these gossip sources has actually looked into the story. They are just looking at the videos posted and sloppily summarizing them. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree with your deletion of the brackets. MOS:ELLIPSES does not call for any. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:33, 30 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just to let you know that you're at 4 reverts and should participate in this BLPN discussion[1] if you see anything that should be reverted. Morbidthoughts (talk) 20:36, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Morbidthoughts, and three of those (1, 2, 3) were poorly sourced, contentious BLP content removals, one of the exemptions outlined at WP:3RRNO. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 20:42, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The BLP exemption is never guaranteed, and that's why it's better to get others involved. Morbidthoughts (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm well familiar with 3RR and trust my judgment regarding exemptions. Thank you. I don't care to participate in frivolous discussions that paint me as biased right from the outset. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 20:53, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, you removed my edit about obtaining rewards in Candy Crush through watching ads, requesting a source. Here is a source, please restore the edit.

On the page for Rainbow flag you removed my edit. I edited the text because the cited "source" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag#cite_note-Fotw-IncaEmpire-18) does neither state that Tupac Amaru used the rainbow flag nor can be even called a "reliable" source since it is a collection of flags posted by users. In all the wikipedia articles about Tupac Amaru you can see this flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bandera_de_la_rebeli%C3%B3n_de_1780.svg The wikipedia article about the Flag of Cusco also confirms that the rainbow flag was only associated with the Incan Empire in the 1970s without any evidence. (Flag of Cusco) So Tupac Amaru did most certainly not use the Rainbow Flag for his rebellion. Therearesusamongus (talk) 20:59, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Therearesusamongus, if the source cited does not support the text, the correct course of action should be to either correct the text to conform with what the source says or to remove both the text and the source entirely. You should never change cited text in such a way that introduces new information not supported by the source that's already there. In that case you should replace the source with one that does. Regarding the bottom half of your message, note that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 17:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As you're an uninvolved editor, I request you to look at the articles Chalukya dynasty and Kalabhra. A guy removes WP:RS contents which doesn't suit his pov. Can you have a look? and I don't wanna involve in the topic further. Also, I welcome your decision if you keep the content or remove after considering them whether it is WP:RS or not. Thanks!

Wormholexx, so sorry for not responding sooner, I've been preoccupied and must have forgotten your message. I assume the conflict has been resolved? Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 16:46, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

In regards to the revisions to Lee Hardcastle - what's the difference in how he's still attributed as an artist on Tranz, but can't be on his own page? 24.125.26.243 (talk) 23:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You cited a Fandom article, which features user-generated content and WP:FACEBOOK. Neither of these sources can be used in this case because they are unreliable. Throast ^{((ping)) me!} (talk | contribs) 00:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
