Removal of skeleton infobox

Skeleton infobox rv as per WP:MOS (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes)): “The most important group to consider are the casual readers of Wikipedia, who will never do any significant editing. Infobox templates that contain many blank fields, question marks and unknowns present an unprofessional appearance, diminishing Wikipedia’s reputation as a high-quality encyclopedia.” Quis separabit? 07:23, 1 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

is Patrick's tweet worthy of mentioning in the article

edit

Should his tweet regarding White genocide conspiracy theory be added to the article

Only if mentioned in reliable secondary sources. Are there any? Jlevi (talk) 19:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Don’t call him a reporter

edit

Honestly, I think using terms like “reporter” or “journalist” to refer to this man is an insult to the entire profession. It would be like calling David Irving a historian of the WW2 era, or the Deutsche Physik movement a branch of physics on par with cosmology and quantum gravity. [1] [2] [3] These are just a couple examples of his commentary from the last few days. I know Wikipedia isn’t supposed to push a slanted point of view, but it would be slanted to _not_ point out just how fringe Howley’s writing really is, and certainly outside the boundaries of anything that could be called journalism. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:AB44 (talk) 22:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
