Disinformation research within existing articles

[edit]

The content for the article can be found in multiple pages, such as in disinformation, misinformation, infodemic, and disinformation attack, which today have long sections that refer to academic research into the topic. I think the area of disinformation research is nowadays notable for its own article. If approved, we can make the other articles more readable.

It is also a good idea to have it separate because disinformation research involves multiple related concepts, like conspiracy theories, media manipulation, and internet manipulation. MexFin (talk) 14:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa Dear Diannaa, the idea is to remove the "disinformation research" part from those pages and use it to create its own page. I wrote the same in the talk pages of disinformation. The reason for doing that is that some parts of the page are about very specific research findings, like, for example, the extent that fake news affected the US presidential election. Something that is kind of related to disinformation but not really on topic. MexFin (talk) 06:32, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Diannaa An alternative is to eliminate the copied content and have this page as a stub that may require its own elaboration. If this is prefered, I am happy to do that instead MexFin (talk) 06:40, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
