Score edit

I know only the free score, which has been questioned as an unreliable source. This particular score looks decent and faithful to the original. I'd appreciate if someone who has access to the original could comment. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:45, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

How on earth do you know if it's "faithful to the original" when you've not seen the original?! BencherliteTalk 09:16, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I didn't say I know. I said "it looks", so I assume good faith. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:39, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
WP:AGF doesn't apply to sources, but to Wikipedia editors' behaviour. BencherliteTalk 09:49, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I misunderstood that all the time if true, - my standard wording in DYK reviews is "foreign language and offline sources accepted AGF". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:57, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
In that specific case, DYK allows the reviewer to accept that the Wikipedia author has correctly used the sources - one is assuming good faith for the Wikipedian, not for the sources. It's quite a fundamental point. BencherliteTalk 10:02, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
