Undoing changes on Shanitah Namuyimbwa

Hey, I am currently in touch with the subject of this Wikipedia and she would like it authored under her birthname - Latifah Namuyimbwa. Would you please let her have this? CharityDelmus (talk) 13:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have any way of knowing for sure that that is the article subject, and, either way, that gets into autobio territory and primary sources. al of the reliable secondary sources we have indicate the prior name. Also, getting the subject involved is a bit suspect, given that there was potential COI editing by the subject in the past. See Wikipedia:COMMONNAME.

Also, as a general principle, article subjects should not get involved in their own article. This can also constitute original research. Even if it is true, it isn't currently verifiable. Xxthedeathlordxx (talk) 13:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The FAIR Article

You made a massive oversight with your reversion of my edits. It is obvious that the article itself poisoned the well and gave an arbitrarily high amount of precedence to the SPLC's words. By putting them in quotes and clarifying their statements, I was making it more neutral instead of making them the arbiter of reality as you attempted with your reversion of my edit. 173.79.40.205 (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see MOS:DOUBT and WP:SPLC. The SPLC is considered reliable, but generally requires attribution, as had properly been done. Furthermore, quotation marks generally only be used on direct quotes, and never to instill doubt about the information within them. Xxthedeathlordxx (talk) 19:31, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First, I don't agree that the SPLC is reliable and I view their inclusion on that list of "reliable sources" as Orwellian. Second, the quotation marks were put in place to avoid false and contentious accusations as well as a way to undo the well poisoning. 173.79.40.205 (talk) 19:35, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bias in a source does not make it unreliable. The attribbution of statements to the SPLC is to clearly state that a group that may be biased is making such a statement. The inclusion of the SPLC as a reliable source is due to community consensus, meaning that the community as a whole considers it reliable with attribution, much more democratic than Orwellian.

Why did you undo the editor's changes?

I understand that you reverted because they replaced the constitution.org link with a book reference, but it is still a legitimate edit, and your edit summary that "that's not how refs work" is not only incorrect, but not sufficient at all. They referred to the same book and chapter. It also appears they added a ref after to source a different claim, which was also reverted without considering their edits.

I have since replaced the 404 link with the same link in archive.org, but you should still actually consider the additions added before you revert. Plasticwonder (talk) 14:23, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
