DGG ( talk ) 07:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Daily Mail as a source
Sadly this newspaper has a history of fabricating interview quotes, so should never be used for biographical claims, even if they appear to be using direct quotes from the subject. See
________
Thank you, I appreciate the information,
Daily Mail is certainly a mixed bag of writers and content. There have been issues with fake quotes in celebrity gossip articles with typical tabloid journalist rhetoric -- "sources close to the family" or "family friend" (eg. the Amal Alamuddin-Clooney article).
There are other Daily Mail writers who do full interviews. I have been surprised to find some exclusive, interviews with public figures.
I did find this on the discussion link you provided:
"Nothing negative, contentious, or potentially libelous or in any way scandalous should be sourced to the DM (unless it is a direct quote from an interview)"
I didn't realize the tabloid Daily Mirror (sourced for Jay Blades) was of a higher caliber then Daily Mail. I imagine seriously scrutinizing each individual case would be a key factor in using any source.
Thank you again for taking the time to give me sound direction. All the best to you! :)

Yiannopolous
Hello. As I hope you have noticed,
_____
Thank you for taking the time to comment Grayfell.
I did not realize updating a source for a deleted entry was considered reverting an entry.
Yiannopoulos is a devolving character. Out of curiosity I occasionally do a bit of digging to find the latest page in his increasingly obscure life. I discovered this latest book on all major book seller platforms and listed on non-commercial publication websites. There are negligible articles about the book itself. From the reader reviews it seems to be a disorganized slap-dash affair. As such, it seemed to play a part in mapping the trajectory of his post-deplatforming life.
Again, thanks for the input. All the best to you! :) Beth Timken (talk) 21:19, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Section format
Hi, I noticed that in several articles, you used bold format to create
August 2021
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Your earlier comment, "details do not belong on the lead!" was helpful.
Originally, I mistakenly thought the Wikipedia article did not cover the information I added, since I neglected to look under "Release." I had done my own research and then added this information to the lead. Sorry this was disruptive!
Later I tried to add some of my findings (summary info: eight episodes) but but did not all (Wednesdays 12:01 am EST). Within my wording ("subsequent" rather than "new" episodes) I wanted to emphasize the eight episodes were complete, with no new ones being filmed. Some readers might wrongly assume a miniseries would be filming for next season. (For what it's worth, I just also found the episode running time is 43–55 minutes).
At the least it would be helpful to include that this is an eight episode miniseries in the lead. I'll be leaving the article to you and others and move.
All the best to you! :) Beth Timken (talk) 05:06, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Re: The Rings of Power
As you may have noted, I think the section you have included should not be, and the MOS bit you referenced appears to me to back me up (but I am only one opinion). There is currently a discussion happening on the talk page and it would be helpful if you engaged there. Thanks! Dumuzid (talk) 17:26, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
