Blog for laypeople

[edit]

@GeoWriter: I don't understand the edit summary in the removal of a description of a blog as a "must-read" for laypeople. Although the exact word wasn't in the source -- it actually said "anyone" -- laypeople is implicit in the recommendation to readers of a community newspaper. Is the problem that this could be seen as representing an academic journal or something? That seems unlikely to me and I think the original description is better than no description. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the sentence that I removed ("a "must-read" blog for laypeople interested in geology"), I don't have a problem with the use of "layperson" or "anyone". I have a problem with "geology". I removed the claim because the cited source does not support this - it only supports "anyone interested in further acquainting themselves with Whatcom County’s landscape." The source's claim was inappropriately exaggerated in the text of this Wikipedia article. I think no description is better than an incorrect description. Also, it seems to be only one reporter's personal opinion, which I think does not merit special mention here. GeoWriter (talk) 17:32, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dave Tucker (geologist)Dave Tucker – This is one of two "Dave Tucker" articles on enWikipedia, the other being Dave Tucker (rugby league), which is a mere stub with 0 views most months. Pageviews as well as length and references will indicate this is a clear PRIMARYTOPIC for this name. The reason I open an RM instead of BOLDly moving to Dave Tucker is because he is likely not the primary topic for David Tucker as a whole (not just "Dave"). If this is moved, there should be a hatnote for disambiguatioon at the top leading the the dab of Dave Tucker. BhamBoi (talk) 21:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
