Neutral Language edit

" far-right conspiracy website". Seems legit and non biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:FD8B:5C00:30F6:1BBA:9A66:2DBE (talk) 21:17, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. When I went to edit it with more neutral language, it was reverted without explanation. 24.157.60.110 (talk) 20:09, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Looks like user Snooganssnoogans has a history of people objecting to his unexplained edit reversions. 24.157.60.110 (talk) 20:14, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Terms are sourced and in the intro at WorldNetDaily. No reason not to include them here. —C.Fred (talk) 20:16, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
And that, of course, makes it factually correct. 73.208.249.197 (talk) 10:26, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Farah's tenure at WND edit

The entry currently states that Farah wrote for WorldNetDaily from 2013 to 2014, because that's what the Washington Post stated in an article about her father.

Unfortunately, the earlier of those two dates is incorrect, as Farah started writing for WND well before 2013. The Huffington Post citation specifically cites to WND articles by Farah from 2008 and 2010, and according to her archived WND author page, she submitted her very first WND piece in 2005, followed by multiple articles in 2007 and 2008.

I believe that citing to the author's archive would normally be sufficient to clear this up, but since WND is considered a deprecated source, that isn't an immediate solution. And I'd like to think this is straightforward enough to correct without necessitating the Washington Post to issue a correction first, especially since there is already a second source citing her WND work from 2008 and 2010.

Also, since WND changed its author archive URLs at one point, here is a link to Farah's latter-day archive. This specific link shows articles she wrote in 2010 and 2011, but the URL continued to be used through the end of her tenure in 2014.

I can't find any sources, either. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
