Re:Argentine Picture in White Latin American's Article

Hi, Grimshep.

I do not need to know their entire family history. What we, all of us (editors and readers of Wikipedia) need is for the source to say that they are white. It doesn't ([1]).

If you must know, since you mentioned "common sense": to me some of them do look non-white. You can't claim that it's obvious to all, therefore. SamEV (talk) 00:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your basing your position on how they look to you, not on what the source says. Wikipedia insists on sources: read WP:V and WP:RS. Wikipedia insists on sources even more in the case of disputed content, which that picture certainly is. And by "insists" I mean that you don't merely cite a source, but that you show that whatever claim you make, the source made.

That source makes absolutely no mention of the race or the ancestry of those girls. You're engaging in original research, and accusing me of 'bending the rules' is really the wrong path to take. SamEV (talk) 00:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Anything more you'd like to discuss about this say it on the article's talk page, please. Cheers. SamEV (talk) 00:58, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Grimshep. I have taken this to WP:ANI (Despicable behaviour in in White Latin Americans Talk page). I hope someone gets interested on this. Ninguém (talk) 11:17, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
