The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

Before requesting any edits to this protected article, please familiarise yourself with reliable sourcing requirements.

Before posting an edit request on this talk page, please read the reliable sourcing and original research policies. These policies require that information in Wikipedia articles be supported by citations from reliable independent sources, and disallow your personal views, observations, interpretations, analyses, or anecdotes from being used.

Only content verified by subject experts and other reliable sources may be included, and uncited material may be removed without notice. If your complaint is about an assertion made in the article, check first to see if your proposed change is supported by reliable sources.

Media as sources is foul play

You cannot cite journalistic sources in an encyclopedia. Present the factual information, and it will be readily apparent to the reader if something is a conspiracy theory, disinformation, misinformation, extreme, alt, or any of your other characterizations. You don’t cite a news article, you find the primary source. Carpedm333 (talk) 05:05, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that in fact, a huge proportion of this project is supported by "journalistic sources" and this is quite normal. See WP:RS. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 06:41, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source for the claims?

I see no source for the claims made in the article and also you blocked the edit for this page ,with the weird statement "to protect it against vandalism" when in fact You are protecting baseless opinions or claims You made against this network.So You are protecting your lies in fact but You are doing it for a good reason.I remember the old days when Wikipedia was not extrem left political platform. 86.126.133.159 (talk) 15:51, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article has 32 sources. You're going to need to be a little more specific. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bias?

"The platform also hosts misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The conspiracy theory video Plandemic has been viewed on BitChute millions of times after having been removed from other platforms for spreading medically harmful misinformation."

My quotes and my bold above. Wouldn't it be better to include any original sentences that contain those words as quotes directly from the articles to make it clear that those word choices are the opinion of the original writer rather than that of the Wikipedia editor of the article? The way this section is written now clearly shows personal bias in my view. "Conspiracy theory" has the tinge of bias about it as well, though I guess one could make the argument that the producers of Plandemic did indeed propose a theory (actually a hypothesis) dealing with what they maintain is a conspiracy. Pretty obvious that term was included as a means of attacking not only the video's content, but the Bitchute platform itself. RRskaReb talk 08:58, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
