How do I learn more about: -Referencing -Identifying biases (WP codes)
Please help me with... -Finding pages on WP that teach these skills
Thanks in advance. Cedarparrot (talk) 02:06, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- For a new editor, a good place to start on references is Referencing for beginners. That discusses a couple of the most common methods for adding references to an article.
- While that article has a brief opening paragraph about what constitutes a good reference, you'll need to look elsewhere for more information about that. With respect to identifying bias, you could probably start with the big article on WP:Neutral point of view, but also see WP:Reliable sources.
- While not necessarily intended to teach, one way you could learn more about some of these skills is to read the noticeboards where disputes about sources or biases go for resolution. Reliable sources noticeboard discusses whether a particular source is considered reliable for a particular statement – note that reliable, when applied to a source, is not a blanket approval of everything found on that source. There must still be a determination of whether it should be considered reliable with respect to a certain subject or for certain facts. There is a noticeboard for neutral point of view as well. Reading these noticeboards will take a little time and practice, since regular editors often abbreviate the issues and you may need to spend extra time tracking down what those abbreviations are intended to mean. But after a while, you'll get the hang of it. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 06:36, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Gender dysphoria in children article
[edit]Regarding this and this, do stop WP:Edit warring on this matter, or you may find yourself WP:Blocked. There are certain rules, including sourcing rules, we are supposed to go by. You can make your case at Talk:Gender dysphoria in children, but do not restore the contested material. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:09, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
