[edit] Re:Draft Articles
I see you removed The Associate Content as self published sources (from the 2007 WWE Draft and the 2005 WWE Draft), is this correct, that they are published sources, if so how?--TrUCo-X 15:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh ok, I see, that's all I was looking to understand. Would you like me to archive your talk page?--TrUCo-X 15:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Done archiving.TrUCo-X 16:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] self-published source removal
Howdy - When you remove a self-published source (as here), please also remove the related content if there are no other sources cited (or at a minimum add {{fact}}) Having unsourced information is, in my opinion, worse than having information attributed to self-published sources. -SCEhardT 16:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see any mention of 'war department' in the remaining source? -SCEhardT 16:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I stand corrected there. Sorry. Stealthound (talk) 18:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, you did the same to Greg Page. At least you could assist by looking for a better source. The Associated Content link was placed there because at the time, it was the best source I was able to find. (I just did a brief Google search and came up empty again.) As a result, I'm reverting it.

- This site pays anyone to write articles on any subject. The writers are paid by the numbers of visits their stories receive. Thus it qualifies as both self-published and spam, as they have clear economic reasons to create these links. This is the full reason I removed it in the first place. If there is no source to back it up, it should not be included. Please see Admin Noticeboard. I do believe that there is a growing consensus on this. Stealthound (talk) 18:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

- I appreciate the input; this is something I was unaware of before I read the policy. I think the discussion makes a good case for blacklisting AC, so I'll make the changes to Greg Page. I'm a relatively inexperienced editor, so I require the continued tutoring of more experienced editors like you. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 20:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Associated Content and my reversion
Since the source in question directly quotes him my initial thought was that this was ok but given the questionable reliability you are correct that it should probably be removed like the other AC based material. JoshuaZ (talk) 20:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I am reremoving the link, and would point out that it already has a reference. Stealthound (talk) 03:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

- Ok, so Associated Content isn't a reliable source - I did not know that, but I will keep it in mind. However, the statement "the author is now considering Anne Hathaway [to play the role of Stephanie Plum]" was the specific fact sourced to the AC, and I suppose the statement itself should be removed as well. The reason I reverted you before was that I'd rather see a fact cited to a poor or unreliable source instead of no source at all, because at least that way it's clear where the fact came from. --Kweeket Talk 21:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] What does a "blacklisted" source mean?

[edit] Re Pope Gelasius I
First off, I am not trying to underhandedly remove the status of a pope that has been identified previously as Kabyle. That is why I am asking for input and good documentation for his background. I have looked, and not found anything outside of blogs that have substantiated that he was ethnically Kabyle. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Stealthound (talk) 04:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
