Self-promotion in Bibliography section

The inclusion of the Rogozinski book is likely for the purpose of self-promotion. Rogozinski is known for promoting the same book on /r/wallstreetbets.

I propose that the book be removed from the article or moved to the references section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.34.123.54 (talk) 18:38, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Establishing what qualifies as a reliable source

I am seeing a lot of edits get reverted for not having a "reliable source." I made a number of contributions yesterday that I think are very important to the culture of the subreddit, such as the different gangs to which people subscribe. They were reverted for not having come from a reliable source.

What qualifies as a reliable source when talking about trends on a social media outlet? I do research on WallStreetBets in order to document events for my YouTube channel. Do we need mods to make contributions? I am not sure how to reliably prove that "Bull Gang" refers to traders who place trades with the belief that the market will rise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamikazecash (talk • contribs) 08:10, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources can be found here, Reddit is not considered a reliable source as it contains mostly user-generated content, and is considered both self-published and generally unreliable. In addition I can see a large part of the information you added is not mentioned in the sources you provided. Wikipedia is not the right place to list a glossary of terms used on a subreddit.

Okay, I’ll come back and cite my sources with published media outside of original sources in Reddit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B0A7:3702:917C:5A7F:D93D:5FA3 (talk) 10:55, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is factually incorrect information regarding the supposed engineered short squeeze on AMC

There has not nor will there be a short squeeze for the AMC ticker. It is BLATANTLY false to claim that a short squeeze has happened to AMC and even more ridiculous to assume that r/wallstreetbets had absolutely ANYTHING to do with the recent increase in price with AMC. In addition to this, the page has been locked for edits until February. I believe this is an organized effort to suppress correct information regarding r/wallstreetbets and paint it in a negative light. I strongly urge Wikipedia to appoint someone with proper knowledge to oversee this page because the previous edits are FALSE and MISINFORMATION regarding the AMC squeeze. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.71.196.138 (talk) 00:33, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hate Speech based on RS

The discord server was terminated for 'hate speech", "glorifying violence", & "misinformation" and it is being widely reported as a haven for this activity in RS. This organization should be labeled as such in tags to reflect the consensus of reliable reporting and added to the growing list of banned content providers.

Not neutral

By saying that they are young and don't understand the stock market, and by pointing out the profane language, you are vilyfying these people.
