Please discuss on the Talkpage also. This is a WP:BLP issue. Joe6Pack (talk) 17:42, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Not sure why you left me this. Ledboots (talk) 14:33, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

It had to do with [1] and the way you defended it with a No true Scotsman at [2]. Basically the idea is that such sophism carries no weight inside Wikipedia and that we only follow or listen to reliable sources. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:18, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

YESPOV

A useful scrap of policy for those situations where "According to X" qualifies positions that are commonly or even universally held: WP:YESPOV Avoid stating facts as opinions. Uncontested and uncontroversial factual assertions made by reliable sources should normally be directly stated in Wikipedia's voice. Unless a topic specifically deals with a disagreement over otherwise uncontested information, there is no need for specific attribution for the assertion, although it is helpful to add a reference link to the source in support of verifiability. Further, the passage should not be worded in any way that makes it appear to be contested. PiCo (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
