Supposed violation of WP:RS in JohnAlbertRigali's December 23, 2017 edit
[edit]Objective3000, you reverted my aforementioned edit with the claim that it violated Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources - presumably by citing Zero Hedge as a source. I'm not aware of anything that designates Zero Hedge as an unreliable source. In fact, Wikipedia:NEWSBLOG seems to defend it to a certain extent. Can you please elucidate? -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 03:05, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- WP:NEWSBLOG refers to, for example, blogs at The Washington Post containing the writings of well-known professionals in their fields. Even then, care must be taken in their use. Zero Hedge is not known for editorial oversight, required by WP:IRS. Instead, it contains the opinions of three people all using the same name. You can search the archives at WP:RSN for Zero Hedge. You will find a search function there. On top of that, we should not be adding speculations to the article. O3000 (talk) 12:18, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- I don't regard The Washington Post as a reliable source. I see now how, overall, Zero Hedge fails WP:IRS...but that means that all Zero Hedge content must be excluded regardless of the facts that it contains. Is that its fate? And my purpose was not so much to mention a speculation, but to direct readers' attention to the cited blog post, which contains facts that reveal that (1) CoD was involved in the counter-protest against the Unite the Right rally, and (2) lied to Snopes.com about it; I used the word "speculated" because Zero Hedge is a blog, but the blog post reads like a thinly veiled exposé instead. -JohnAlbertRigali (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- An encyclopedia does not include speculations and must be built upon reliable sources. O3000 (talk) 23:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
