hi
The problem is
Editors shouldn't pick and choose what to mention from a book, we need to use sources meeting
- Summarizing a books contents appears to be mentioned here: "Summary/Content — report on the content of the book and how it is organized. This can include any thesis and major illustrative examples. Do not try to re-organize the content, just summarize and report it." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Books#Article_structure. I am trying to ascertain AC's "thesis and major illustrative examples." My initial comments are not intended to go into the main page in their current form. --DevilTrombone (talk) 15:49, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- And we don't use our articles as sources. What you are looking at is not an official guideline. Editor's can't determine a books thesis. But you do raise something that might need fixing. Doug Weller talk 15:58, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'm happy to look at an official guideline if you can provide it. That would be great. DevilTrombone (talk) 16:05, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

- A couple of problems with RedState. One is that it is a blog, and the other is that there's no author to the blog. kirkrg isn't a name. Doug Weller talk 18:01, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- A great point. How does one find a list of blogs or non-blogs that are reliable? If someone posts to the NYT's blog (or similar) that is on-line only is that not acceptable or is that a blog too? As for names, I don't know what is or is not a valid name, e.g. Elon Musk has a child with a name that is uncommon. Does wikipedia have a guide for valid names? --DevilTrombone (talk) 18:06, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
