"Fancruft"/NPOV Template

Hi, I do not understand the meaning of the "fancruft"/NPOV template on the article. Could I have some clarification as to what specifically needs to be cleaned up? Cheers. XRENEGADEx (talk) 06:54, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, XRENEGADEx! Yes, phrases like "was one of the most dominant ultramarathon runners in the world" are a problem. Unless someone else is saying them -- and then we should be using a quote and attributing that quote -- then it's just the editor's opinion. We WP editors don't insert our own opinions into articles. :) The entire article has problems like that, plus a lot of unsourced material. Anything we can't find a source for doesn't belong in the article, even if it's demonstrably true, because if no one else is talking about it anywhere, it's not important enough to include in a WP article. For instance that he was valedictorian of his hs class. Or the list of accomplishments, almost all of which are unsourced. Someone else should be talking abou this stuff, or we don't include it.

I answered you at my talk page, too, but let's keep this discussion here. ----valereee (talk) 13:41, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK! I will work on cleaning up the article, adding sources, and removing opinionated statements. Cheers! XRENEGADEx (talk) 21:17, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
