1527-1528, 1530.) The petitioner “got angry” and attacked Ms. Franz. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-12, PageID# 1528.) She jumped over the nurses’ desk, grabbed Ms. Franz by the hair and face, and hit her. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-12, PageID# 1480, 1485, 1528.) They both struggled onto the floor, and Ms. Franz received abrasions and bruises from the attack. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-12, PageID# 1485, 1528.) The petitioner threatened Ms. Franz’s life, saying: I’m going to do you like I did him, but I’m not going to shoot you once in the back of the head. I’m going to shoot you three times and listen while your blood splatters on the wall.' (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-12, PageID# 1481, 1528-1529.)" Source 2. Court of Criminal Appeals. "Kathy Franz testified that on August 14, 2004, she worked as a nurse at a facility at which she encountered the defendant. Franz said that one day, the defendant asked her to use the telephone. Franz told the defendant that she could not use the telephone, at which point the defendant grabbed her by the hair and by the face; after that, the two women struggled and "both wound up the floor." According to Franz, the defendant told her, "I'm going to do you like I did him, but I'm not going to shoot you once in the back of the head. I'm going to shoot you three times and listen while your blood splatters on the wall." Eventually, four or five of the facility's staff physically restrained the defendant. Another of the facility's employees, Sheila Campbell, witnessed this episode and testified about it at trial. The substance of Campbell's testimony largely mirrored that of Franz's, although Campbell added that the defendant asked permission to phone her mother before the incident and that the incident left Franz with bruises and abrasions."

talking to used to send her out to prostitute. And she was mad at him. And the man tried to rape her, so she shot him. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-13, PageID# 1655-1656.) Ms. Bryant did not believe the petitioner because the story 'just seemed too perfect.' (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-13, PageID# 1656.) Ms. Bryant told the petitioner that she was lying, at which point the petitioner started laughing. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-13, PageID# 1656.) The petitioner then confided that she shot the victim 'just to see how it fe to kill somebody.'” Source 2. Court of Criminal Appeals. "Shayla Bryant testified that in November 2004, while in jail, the defendant spoke to her and two other inmates, Lashonda Williamson and Sheila Washington, about the victim's death. The defendant told Bryant about the charges she was facing, and Bryant overheard a conversation between the defendant and Williamson in which the defendant 'basically said this guy that she was talking to used to send her out to prostitute. And she was mad at him. And the man tried to rape her, so she shot him.' Bryant told the defendant that she did not believe the defendant's account because the story 'just seemed too perfect.' Bryant testified that the defendant then 'started laughing.' Through notes, the defendant 'basically said she shot the man just to see how it feel to kill somebody.' Bryant said that the defendant appeared 'as jolly as she wanted to be' while discussing the victim's death. Bryant added, 'it didn't look like she had any remorse. She didn't cry. . . . She was just there.'"

6587:- It was a straw poll about whether we should have an RfC, and then, after people started commenting, the question was changed to be about whether text from a particular source should be used "in any article" (??). That's certainly an unusual way to use this board. Typically it's either asking for opinions about whether a particular source is reliable or whether a particular source is reliable for a particular claim in a particular article. The "in any article" is bizarre, as is the pre-RfC/non-RfC business. The underlying question concerns an objection to using a quote in a specific article, and not "in any article," and the issue taken with the quote is more to do with using the full quote rather than its reliability (a matter for the article talk page, not RSN). If the question is whether being transparent about a common step in the journalistic process renders a highly reliable sources unreliable, the answer is no. — 1558:

hole in the wall between their cells. On cross-examination, she said that she flushed most of the defendant's notes down the toilet but that she kept one of the notes, which she eventually gave to police. The note read: 'Everything is the truth, I swear on my life, except for `I thought he was getting a gun' and the feelings of nervousness.'" Source 6. Sixth Circuit."Like other detainees, Ms. Bryant and the petitioner routinely passed notes, and Ms. Brown retained and disclosed one note in which the petitioner wrote, 'Everything is the truth, I swear on my life except for ‘I thought he was getting a gun’ and the feelings of nervousness.” (Handwritten Note, R.E. 14-5, PageID# 600; Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-13, PageID# 1656-1658, 1683-1684, 1788-1789, 1797-1798; Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-14, PageID# 1868-1869, 1894-1896.)

1573:"Later that day, around 5:00 p.m., the petitioner knocked on the door at the InTown Suites of roommates Richard Reed and Samuel Humphrey. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-11, PageID# 1331.) Mr. Reed answered the door, and the petitioner asked him to drive her to Wal-Mart, which he agreed to do. (Trial Testimony R.E. 14-11, PageID# 1331-1334.)." En route back to the hotel, the petitioner asked Mr. Reed for a ride to a nearby house. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-11, PageID# 1336-1337.) She explained that she “shot somebody in the head for fifty thousand dollars and some guns,” and she wanted Mr. Reed “to go over there and help her clean it out.” (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-11, PageID# 1337.) Mr. Reed did not believe her, and he refused to drive her to the house. (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-11, PageID# 1336-1339.) 6471:, at this point (this point being, we are only still dealing with accusations, and there is no hard action yet taken against Biden). Assuming that nothing else changes about this situation, that the accusations only remain accusations that never are proven out and have no additional bearing on Biden in the future, then there's no point in making a big deal about the Times' correction. Should the situation change: that the accusations are found to have validity, or something more severe, such that the Times changing their story is part of the larger story, then the issue the change can be added. But right now, adding anything about the correction is currently unnecessary since we currently are treating Biden innocent of any of the actions he was accused of doing at the current state per BLP. -- 6012:. Meh. I'd suggest the NYT has some questions in the political arena but for the BLP level what specifically the NYT has as a view about Tara Reade is UNDUE for a mention, and I had deleted it along with other details. I think *any* specific single source is UNDUE for quoting out at the BLP level -- none of them have WEIGHT of being noted by other media and no quote from any of them has a particular BLP enduring impact to justify inclusion. If NYT stays deleted, then questions about their POV being done in cooperation with the Biden campaign are moot. And given this specific NYT article is somewhat a flap, I suggest any return o Tara Reade details should avoid that now-dated and now-decried article as just not BESTSOURCES. Cheers 1516:"On August 14, Brown was taken to the Western Mental Health Institute for an evaluation. According to court documents, Brown attacked and threatened a nurse at the Mental Health Institute after the nurse did not allow her to call her adoptive mother. Brown jumped over the nurse's desk, grabbed her hair and face, and hit her, giving her several bruises and abrasions. During the attack, Brown allegedly told the nurse 'I shot that man in the back of the head one time, bitch, I’m gonna shoot you in the back of the head three times. I’d love to hear your blood splatter on the wall.' The nurse, along with another Western Mental Health Institute employee who witnessed the incident testified at trial." 4660:":Re: "The usage in this case was acceptable in that we don't seem to have any experience where a piece claimed to be by an outside author who is a real and relatively well-known figure was fabricated", on what basis are you making that decision? They have been shown to fabricate entire interviews by real and relatively well-known figures. They have been shown to lie about who wrote a story. If I look out my front door and see that it is pouring rain, do I say "better check out the back door"? You don't have to catch a serial liar lying in every conceivable situation. The burden of proof is on the person who claims that known liars are truth-tellers in situations where we haven't caught them lying yet. -- 6733:- there's no good reason to state 'the NY Times reports' in Biden BLP, their particular article is just not noteworthy in WEIGHT of mentions for that nor shown BLP impact. It might get a small mention in the allegation article, along with small note that article has a story about coverage being slow and that response was a flap re the Biden campaign influenced the wording. That would seem a part of the theme that the allegation story has gotten slow or muted #metoo responses. But really the even there the particular text said (or deleted) by the NYT seems UNDUE to quote out - the flap is over the slowness and that the Biden campaign influenced wording. Cheers 7018:

themselves up as a glorified blog? I clicked on "meet the contributors" and they list 241 "columnists" complete with social media style profiles who post what appear to be opinion pieces. The about us page confirms this -" a platform for coming together and exchanging perspectives. The mainstream media narrative of India is highly tilted towards the left. Hence an average news reader of India gets to read news with “liberal” doses of “left-arm” spin. TFIPOST was created to provide an alternate Center-Right narrative. We are very new and already one of the most read and appreciated blogging platforms." Its just people's opinions, not WP:RS in any way.

1128:, a resource for matters relating to Indigenous peoples in Australia. Although I was initially a bit cautious because it is a self-published source (created by Jens Korff), I always check sources, and have found his material to be pretty meticulously sourced. (This means that I have often also gone to the original source, if available.) I have also found him cited in other sources upon occasion. As he says on the page I've linked to "Some of my content, both articles and images, have also been published in other works around the world", including a Year 10 textbook. The National Library of Australia catalogue entry is 3454:. As with all such hyper-partisan media (regardless of political leaning), if the story is significant enough that Knowledge will be interested, there's invariably going to be a non-contentious publication covering the same story, which will always be preferable as a source. The sole exception is the case of a handful of ultra-left figures, who may use the site to make media announcements in which case it's acceptable as a primary source for their comments. These instances should be few and far between, as such people are almost certainly going to choose sympathetic media with a broader circulation (such as 594:. where the claim "Queer-coding has affected many fictional villains. These evil characters are generally either shown as flamboyant and overly dramatic, like Disney characters Scar and Hades, or written as having a deep fixation on the main character, like Jafar, Kim Possible villain Shego and Catra from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. In the past few decades, Disney fans have seen Governor Ratcliffe and Professor Ratigan—as well as Scar, Jafar and Hades—being portrayed as queer characters." The source for this claim? A Twitter tweet by "Jay, a self-described 'transmasc enby' who uses they/he pronouns". 7421:. Verywell is a family of four websites: Verywell Health, Verywell Mind, Verywell Fit, and Verywell Family. They deliver short articles on very basic topics, written in simple, plain language. Generally, they don't offer much content that can't be found in better, more professional sources. However, outright banning the Verywell sites is excessive. They don't seem to be unreliable. They just offer high-school level content, written in simple language, aimed at a wide audience. As a tertiary source, it may be of use in certain situations. Recently, I tried to cite a Verywell Mind article at 3006:

publications trust those. Again, many of the mainstream publications have had to withdraw or amend articles for inaccuracy from time to time. There is a left wing viewpoint: Labour gets around one third of the vote and Labour's 600,000 members elected Corbyn twice. This viewpoint is rarely reflected fully in the mainstream media: banning use of the Canary will prevent a full expression of the range of significant views. Finally, significant progressive stories may only be covered in The Canary in detail, so this information will be inaccessible to editors if its use is banned.

9165:(which is great, but not something I'd expect to see as a source). As such we should have a green entry for "NPR news programs" or the like. I don't know why we'd be including very brief discussions about a source in RSP, like the two that are there currently, just for the sake of having an entry. It's misleading. And, revisiting something I've brought up before, it's hard to consider two brief threads "perennial". Some sources don't come up here because nobody wastes time challenging them. So yes, the entirety of the current entry should be removed. — 8487:,” ... I now believe this was in fact a mentally challenged person ... perhaps autistic?” ... are you a psychic? And that person is then so mentally challenged that they remember to continue 3 weeks later ... and then yet another month later he is on an open proxy in France. And seen how highly dynamic the IPs were, I doubt that any of the other edits are by the person working from these IPs. Well, let me be a psychic as well. Perhaps this was in fact a spammer and the spam blacklist stopped it. Or it was a spambot. Your guess is as good as mine. 1509:"Although the medical examiner classified this as an indeterminate range wound, the stellate lacerations around the entrance wound are “typically” seen with “close range fire,” within “a couple inches or less, a few inches.” (Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-14, PageID# 1973; Trial Testimony, R.E. 14- 15, PageID# 1993, 2005-2007.) Gunshot residue from one of the victim’s pillowcases indicated that the gun was three to six inches from the pillowcase when the gun discharged.

The quote used is Hearn revealing his shortlist of potential opponents for Joshua's 10 December 2016 bout. It's not a random journalist's opinion or a second hand quote, it's the man himself stating who he has in mind for the bout. The 'Background' section in boxing event articles details potential opponents, the decision making process and negotiations leading up to the event itself. 35: 7284: 7086: 7279: 7081: 2407:. "I'm hardly a renowned left-winger" but I use The Canary frequently. I have never had a problem with it. Its "About" page describes the efforts it makes to ensure its reports are rigorous: "Each article goes through a rigorous editorial process in which it is checked and amended by at least two editors (a section editor and a copy editor). Complex investigations are edited by at least three, including an investigations editor". It has received a favourable report from 2240: 9459:"Some consider NPR reliable for attributed statements of opinion. Others argue that NPR is generally reliable under WP:NEWSORG, albeit with due consideration for their political leanings. NPR is generally considered a partisan source for the purposes of American politics. Since there have also been a number of notable controversies in the past, editors should check whether an NPR broadcast constitutes due weight before citing it in an article." Cheers 5250:

the career path of the person at the center in any way, or in the case of Biden here, as they are coming up in the midst of the campaign, affected the campaign. If they haven't, and those investigating the allegations find no evidence to support, then we should only cover the minimally if at all. The rush to include them with instant sources that can change down the road (including the NYTimes) is not healthy for WP and leads to problems like this. --

1050:"Jensen and Rushton argued that the existence of biological group differences does not rule out, but raises questions about the worthiness of policies such as affirmative action or placing a premium on diversity. They also argued for the importance of teaching people not to overgeneralize or stereotype individuals based on average group differences, because of the significant overlap of people with varying intelligence between different races." 8539: 7586: 7488: 1498:"She (Dr. McMaster, the forensic pathologist) added, 'Because of the nature of the wound, I would not expect to have any type of voluntary movement or to be able to move his extremities or his body in any way' after being shot. Thus, Dr. McMaster said that in her professional opinion, the victim's hands were clasped at the time of his death, as they were in the crime scene photographs taken by police after the incident." 8471:, you have a complete misunderstanding of spamming. There are no automated scripts needed. Hammering is certainly a reason to retain it (especially since you again focus on the Ethiopian IP (really!!), and ignore the FR proxy doing the same. If the only attempted additions are by a couple of well established editors then that could be a reason to not maintain it (if nothing else is giving a reason). 6427:, this text should not be used because the Times changed it due to the Biden campaign complaining that wording was "awkward". While NY Times is RS, certain reports of theirs may not be RS if the outlet admits to working with a political campaign on the phrasing. If this source must be used, the context behind the wording change must be stated (which can be sourced to many RS's that reported on this.) -- 5983:), and reported "The New York Times is facing blowback after its executive editor admitted to removing a controversial passage in a story focusing on a 1993 sexual assault allegation against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden." "Times executive editor Dean Baquet told the news organization’s media columnist Ben Smith that the edit was made because the Biden campaign argued..." -- 1487:"Based upon the nature of the victim’s wound and the lividity of his body, the medical examiner concluded that, when the petitioner fired the gun, the victim was lying in his bed in the same manner as he was later found, on his right side and stomach and with his fingers partially interlocked." The court doc does not say he was asleep. But several other secondary soruces cited do. 7769:

participating in aggressive SEO activities. It is unlikely to be unbanned until the spamming has stopped. Whitelisting is your way forward for the material you really need. Seen the multitude of IPs (there are IPs in a couple of ranges who have been adding this) and editors (there is a sockpuppetry case) this is better controlled through whitelisting (no, 1 year is generally not enough).

svom »Crkvenom ljetopisu«, "Thanks to numerous works by historiographers, we are quite well aware of the basic data from the biography of Andrija Zmajevic. His ancestors settled in the early 16th century from Njeguš, from the village of Vrba, to the town of Kotor. The story of origin from Montenegro is stated by Zmajevic himself in his "Church Chronicle". Serbian family is not mentioned.

920:, which is cited to R&J 2005. This specific content is talking about Rushton and Jensen's views, and that's cited to Rushton and Jensen's paper expressing their views. R&J are primary sources for their own opinion. But, I think all that misses the point a bit. The problem is that the primary source doesn't establish neutrality – i.e., that inclusion of R&J's opinion is 1247:. I usually check out Korff's sources and add them either instead or as well, but on the whole his info checks out, and I've rarely found anything that I couldn't dig up somewhere else. I just feel that it is better mentioned on this page than not at all, so that editors have something to refer to if they encounter it. It's pretty useful for having a lot of content in one place. 9399:

sensational covers/front pages sell magazines/papers, whereas online, it's all about clickbait. There is no doubt that sensational headlines attract readers and shock value keeps them coming back. The first thing editors should do is determine if the author/program host is credible/reliable and if they are providing opinion or reporting verifiable facts. Example (respectively):

1553:"The cellmate later gave police a note Brown had given her which said 'everything is the truth, I swear it on my life except for ‘I thought he was getting a gun’ and the feeling of nervousness.' At trial, a forensic document examiner testified that the note was written by Brown. The cellmate whom Brown had given the note to and spoken with also testified at trial." 7368:. In the case of Postcard News, not just fake news but communal hate-mongering posts. In the case of TFIPost its a lower level of the same, but primarily misrepresentation of facts, omission of key facts, and giving a slant to any post. The total absence of impartial, referenced truthful reporting is a hallmark feature of both these sources. I second the views of 4338:

trust even a quoted statement in the DM, but here, we're talking the text attributed directly to the byline author. There may be, I may have missed it, and this is justified, but I want to make sure we're clear on that. (That said, with what's already in the article on WP here, I don't think we'd be losing anything if this DM article can't be included). --

7149:, and thanks for your advice. I noticed that you’d started the discussion about getting OpIndia and Swarajya deprecated, and it interested me (yes, I know that it’s 2 months old). But since the sources weren’t deprecated due to lack of an RfC, I’d like to know if it would be a sensible idea to create a new discussion in the RfC area regarding the sources. 1532:"During a recorded telephone conversation on October 29, 2005, between the petitioner and her adoptive mother, Ellenette Washington, the petitioner stated to Ms. Washington, “I killed somebody. . . . I executed him.” (Telephone Recording, R.E. 14-6, PageID# 715; Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-14, PageID# 1915; Trial Testimony, R.E. 14-15, PageID# 2041-2044.)" 8542:, with an explanation that they are tertiary references, should be used with caution, and only as ancillary sources." Keeping in mind that this is the RELIABLE SOURCES noticeboard, I have not seen any evidence in this discussion, or in my experience with several different Dotdash sites, of consistently inaccurate, misleading, or unscientific articles. 5408:"No other allegation about sexual assault or sexual misconduct surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reade’s allegation. The Times found no pattern of physical boundary violations by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." 3496:, excellent example of reversal of the burden of proof there. On Knowledge, the editors seeking to include a source must show that it's reliable. they have run a campaign against Kuenssberg, including false accusations; they have said that opposition is caused by "political Zionists"; they are an active campaigning organisation; they have published 3195:. The attempt to conflate criticism of the state of Israel and anti-Zionism with anti-semitism has a long history. It serves the interests of the Israeli state by silencing criticism of Israel’s actions and policies but there is no reason why the rest of us need to accept what has been called "an intellectually and morally disreputable position". 4501:. Now that we know that they routinely publish things that were not written by the author they credit we cannot apply ABOUTSELF to the author. Similarly, now that we know that they routinely publish direct quotes that are fabricated, we cannot treat them the way we treat direct quotes in pretty much any other source. It really is that bad. -- 5345:, but I wouldn't suggest an outright ban. As a general matter, one should always prefer sources that are independent of the subject. The NYT's statement that it changed the article at the behest of the campaign tends to call their independence into question, but one imagines significant independence still exists. Hence my opinion above. 2142:

articles which comply with our policies and guidelines, such as using reliable secondary sources, so that someone else doesn't have to fix things for you. It may be okay to add the primary sources in addition to the secondary sources but make sure that all assertions you make are supported exclusively by the secondary sources.

days of physical paper journalism, this could not have been done. The paper would have been printed with the “objectionable” sentence included. Sure, the Biden campaign might have complained... but by that time it would be too late. The most the Times could have done was issue a “correction” in the next day’s paper.

5198:) that debunks the right-wing talking point that minor rephrasing means that the Biden campaign somehow controls the content (they noted that the wording was awkward and thus gave rise to ambiguity, which the Times acknowledged).

A quick way to determine the bias of a particular author/host is to gage it by your own bias, and if you agree with what's said, look closer to determine why...and then write for the opposition by reading other sources that don't necessarily agree with you - better yet, you can't go wrong by choosing

Verywell was added to the blacklist. I believed for a minute that this was a not-so-smart bot. However, after checking the other edits made from these IPs, I now believe this was in fact someone from Ethiopia who repeatedly tried to insert the link, somehow incapable of accepting that it didn't work.

7689:

I'd never heard of Verywell before today, but I just spent a bit of time perusing verywellhealth.com, primarily the material on vaccines, infectious diseases, etc. (which is more up my alley).

This really isn't a question of how editors feel about the revised version or the justification given for it, but rather if an article that includes substantive editing from one of the two subjects of an "investigation" can be used in the encyclopedia, and if so, whether readers should be informed of

The question being asked here is: "Are there any limitations on how this piece can be used in his BLP?". as Petrarchan said, the NYTs made a correction (which removes context) in response to representatives of the accused party and without noting the correction. That should create some limitations.

5750:
