Check article for sources

[edit]

Per your policies, if material is not sourced, it should be marked, right? There are sentences here that are not sourced, and not marked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.172.234 (talk) 16:44, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Misplaced content, COI issue

[edit]

The following appeared in a "Notes" section, without any footnoting apparatus (superscripted connector):

"Information from the archives of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Used with permission of Amy Richard, Media Relations."

I am not sure what to do with this, as it's unacceptable as a reference (as it does not allow reader to access the source, or editors to the content for checking). As well, it raises conflict of interest questions, if this individual was the person populating this article with this otherwise unsourced information.

Here is a diff showing when and how this "reference" first appeared, suggesting strongly that the bulk of the content of the article at the time (and persisting to present) was posted by a staff member at Rauch's OSF organisation: WP article history diff. 64.134.172.234 (talk) 17:06, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
