  Hello, I'm Notfrompedro. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, CNN controversies, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Notfrompedro (talk) 18:43, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Neutrality and Reliable Sources

edit

I would suggest reading our Neutral point of view which requires that any views expressed in an article must be supported by reliable sources. This brings me to my next point: Many sources have been discussed in the past and found to be "generally reliable" or "generally unreliable" not because of their political bias, but because they're known to publish false information without fact checking. There's a bit more nuance if you really want to get into it but a good rule of thumb is that if a source is colored red in the list at WP:RSP, you should either avoid using it altogether or be prepared to explain why it's appropriate to use in that particular instance. The NY Post (which you added here) is one of the most notorious ones and usually gets deleted on sight. RealClearPolitics and AllSides, which you added here, are questionable sources at best — And neither mentions "communism" or the "far left"! If you're going to add labels like those to an article like CNN, you'd better be sure the sources are A) reliable and B) actually support what you're saying. My suggestion to you would be to spend less time criticizing Wikipedia's perceived bias and more time finding good quality sources to back up your point of view. –dlthewave 12:55, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Note using terms like " DemocRATS" will not get you your way. Not is saying anyone is "psychotic".Slatersteven (talk) 16:49, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
