Bullcrap

[edit]

The article needs to be extensively revised from the most recent changes, replacing WP:PR public relations baloney with actual facts, such as those that exist. Specifics are needed from sources outside the government. The current article is WP:PEACOCK for NEL NRL. It should not be. Student7 (talk) 12:57, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Student7:, You may have been correct but this seems to not be true 7 years later. There are plenty of journal references. Yes, there are many references to NRL sites but I prefer primary sources for specifics. I am not going to rely on a news article for the NRL budget. Nobelprize.org is a primary source but I think it should be used. This is the first comment I felt I had to correct. I do not think you meant Peer Review.User-duck (talk) 06:50, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Tried to replace words that were promotional, or excessive, current with dates. Claims need citations. Accomplishments may need to be included in history, when dates for accomplishments can be found. I am on mobile device and therefore output-limited. Needs same changes in succeeding subsections. Student7 (talk) 17:32, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Student7:, Thanks for the edits. I was primarily going through the article's references to complete them and check if they still existed. Good comments about use of "current". I agree, lots of uncited claims. There is one tidbit that I am sure is wrong but the process is to add a "citation needed". You referred to WP:PR again, this links to Wikipedia:Peer review, I think you mean "public relations baloney" User-duck (talk) 20:00, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Thanks for pointing that out. Student7 (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC) Student7 (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
