Slovak Republic

[edit]

Why not move Slovak Republic (1939-1945) to First Slovak Republic? 91838jeu72737 (talk) 11:32, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

91838jeu72737 I'm not necessarily opposed, but you have to use the correct process by going through WP:RM and getting consensus for the move. (t · c) buidhe 13:52, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute against EU Reporter reliability

[edit]

@Buidhe I believe we should start a noticeboard discussion about EU Reporter. You seem to be strongly against it, but you are the only wiki editor that I am aware that has such a strong negative view against EU Reporter. There are quotes from this news website in Ukranian government websites: [1], [2]; Azerbaijani government websites [3]; Croatian goverment websites [4]; and others. Are you telling that all these goverments are trying to manipulate the news or they are naive enough to use unreliable sources for their official reporting? Do you have any other indication of Wikipedia consensus on the unreliability of this source other than your own research? Contributor892z (talk) 19:59, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source has been documented to publish native advertising, which means that you cannot trust that anything you read there is not a paid for ad. It is untrue that consensus is needed to deem a source unreliable—those adding a source have the burden of proving that it is a reliable source. (t · c) buidhe 20:05, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The documentation you mentioned was made by a rival source in 2021 and since then EU Reporter has been subject to independent editorial control by NewsGuard, yet you still were uncomfortable of a reference to an article published there in 2022. Even based on your own argument, the independent editorial control by a rating system that is used globally is a proof that post-2021 this is a reliable source. Contributor892z (talk) 20:12, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not proof of anything, given that "There is a rough consensus in this thread that NewsGuard is not a reliable source." A source has to spend time building a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, if it lacks this in 2021 it is unlikely to be RS a year later. (t · c) buidhe 20:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Important: Please update user script installation

[edit]

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew

Bogazicili (talk) 04:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you clarify if you want to move on with this DRN request or not? I find your answer here vague [5]. Do you want more information about what the dispute is or do you not want to proceed with DRN? I also suggested an alternative dispute resolution method in the talk page [6] Bogazicili (talk) 15:07, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

[edit]

Per Wikipedia:Civility, please refrain from comments such as If you aren't capable of finding it with a quick google search [7]. There are no exact google matches with that quote, even when you only google the part after [Churchill], probably because the article is behind a paywall. Results of google searches may also differ based on geographic location. Wikipedia is a volunteer project, please be respectful of other people's time.

Overall, what I find most problematic is that you are giving details of the source you mentioned after being asked third time, and with an uncivil comment. Bogazicili (talk) 16:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize until then that I had forgotten to add the link. You could have asked for it.
I did not mean to comment on anyone's googling skills, merely intending to say that nearly any quote can be matched to the source using this method, paywalled or otherwise.
In the meantime I don't find it particularly civil that you keep accusing me of deliberately trying to skew article away from mentioning north America, although I have repeatedly told you this is not true. (t · c) buidhe 20:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not say that you are deliberately trying to skew article away from mentioning north America.
I said I am very concerned that anything mentioning Native Americans or Americas are being removed.
I don't know if you are doing it deliberately or not, just to remove mention of Native Americans (or related issues). It is entirely possible you are only concerned about sourcing. But I am concerned about the lack of mention in the article. That's not a comment about your motivations.
Please do not misrepresent what I say.
And I asked for the source 3 times:
