Wikipedia:Verifiability/Religioustolerance.org

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

This is a failed proposal.

Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.

On 17 December 2005, jguk proposed the following two guidelines:

(1) that Wikipedia should not use Religioustolerance.org as a reference.

(2) that Wikipedia should not use Religioustolerance.org as an external link which isn't a reference.

There is an alternative to (2) being:

(2a) that Wikipedia may use Religioustolerance.org sparingly as an external link which isn't a reference provided that it is accompanied by an observation that it is a non-scholarly site written primarily by one non-academic.

Comment from jguk This is not a proposal for censorship - it is a request that facts inserted into articles are referenced by reliable, reputable sources rather than what is effectively a blog. If material can only be referenced by religioustolerance.org then we really shouldn't have it in wikipedia - if it can be referenced by better sources, we should quote those instead.

Consensus has not yet been reached on this proposal. See the talk page for details.
