• Template:Miranda (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I was horrified when I found out that this was actually a template: Miranda is a self-published author whose use in articles on cardinals and conclaves on Wikipedia is something that makes their content horrible, fancrufty, and next to unreadible in many cases. He is not a scholar in the field: he is a librarian who researches cardinals and conclave histories as a hobby, and his website is not peer reviewed. It is simply not a reliable source by any stretch of the term, and Wikipedia should not be encouraging doing our readers a disservice by making it easier to link to him. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:58, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think that's an over-reaction. Salvador Miranda's articles appear to be a good brief summary of information from the sources, which he lists, without embellishment. His site appears to be approved by the US Library of Congress and Encyclopedia Britannica, so presumably has been 'peer reviewed'. If the Wikipedia articles are poor, that is a reflection of their editors, not this source, and needs to be addressed on the article talk pages. --Bermicourt (talk) 11:34, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, that is not an overreaction. It is a self-published source that goes through zero peer-review. Brittanica and the LOC don't "approve" it. He does not even have a PhD in a related field or even at all: he has a masters of library science and does this as a hobby. Any usage of him in Wikipedia is contrary to our policy on citing reliable sources. A Google site-specific search also finds no mention of Miranda or links to his website from Britannica.TonyBallioni (talk) 15:04, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • What Bermicourt refers to is the LOC’s archive, and the site's inclusion in a former Britannica feature, their iGuide. He is still currently linked to by EB. On this page, for example, specifically the external links section. While the author does not have a PhD, I find it very odd that you mention his M.S. in Library Science, but not his M.A. in Modern European History which is actually relevant to the subject. While I am not going to judge whether he makes for a suitable source or not, your portrayal of him seems quite unfair. Tom-L (talk) 18:33, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • The LOC is simply a web archive, not an assessment of the reliability. My portrayal of him is entirely fair: he has a terminal MA, which is not an academic qualification that makes one a scholar on the subject. I didn't think to mention it, because in academia it really wouldn't be considered worth mentioning: to my knowledge, he has never held a faculty appointment in this area, and the website is no more reliable than a blog that I would personally publish. The source is unreliable, and we should not be encouraging its use on Wikipedia. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:30, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Since when did we require specific academic criteria, including what jobs people have held, for the authors of every Wikipedia source? Especially when they list the sources they themselves have used. --Bermicourt (talk) 22:18, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • I did not claim that the LOC is an assessment of reliability, though I do note you ignore the Britannica link. Your portrayal is entirely unfair. For some reason you have so far neglected to explain, you accuse him of somehow being responsible for "horrible, fancrufty, and next to unreadible" articles on the English Wikipedia. Now, his source may very well not be acceptable to Wikipedia standards, but your dismissive argument, e.g. that "in academia it really wouldn't be considered worth mentioning", goes completely against what I have been taught in the historiography course I took in university. Skimming his website, it seems to be a dry, consistent and too uncritical synthesis of properly sourced information. By that very reasoning, should we not also reject Wikipedia itself? Bah, never mind. Misplaced condescension is why I gave up on this project years ago… Tom-L (talk) 22:26, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yes, Wikipedia is not a reliable source and we do not allow citing ourself. A terminal masters is not an academic qualification that would be taken seriously by most.WP:SELFPUBLISH requires that Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. The fact that Miranda only has a terminal MA means that he is most decidedly not an expert in the field, so you are correct that it is relevant in that sense, but it only further shows why he should not be cited by our guidelines.
            My portrayal is completely fair, and the tendency for Wikipedians to prefer to cite an unreliable self-published source rather than omit information that cannot be verified to reliable sources is one of the major negatives the project faces when writing on religious history: Miranda has no place on Wikipedia as a source unless it can be verified by other sourcing, and if it can be verified by other sourcing, there is no reason to cite him. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:37, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
            • Repeating that your portrayal is entirely fair is not an argument. Repeating your pseudo-academic condescension is also not an argument. And if this was merely about reliability per Wikipedia standards, you could have written something in the vein of "This source is not reliable per Wikipedia standards, so this template is not needed". Something I’d entirely agree with, Miranda’s bibliography should be used as a crutch and not a source. Still, I don't know what bone you have to pick with this guy, or what else caused your rant of hyperbole and condescension. If you don't actually have a bone to pick with this guy in particular, I would advise you to choose your language more carefully next time. Plenty of Wikipedia contributors I have encountered “only” have a Master’s at best. I see that you are an administrator, so I'll leave it at this. Tom-L (talk) 22:55, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
