The Citation Barnstar

Dear Tim, You have done a magnificent job in sorting out the mess that was the citations at the T. E. Lawrence article. The new structure you have applied looks excellent, as we had agreed to align it to the format normally used for featured articles. So, very well done, Tim! [Is this the dawn of a new career for you here at the Wiki, I ask myself? ] On a personal note, I have enjoyed working with you on this. So, thank you once again for your enthusiastic commitment to this very useful task, and for all your contributions to our encyclopaedia. With kind regards Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 08:38, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply] P.S. Thank you also for signing my guestbook, and for the nice photo of Aberystwyth!

Hey Tim, just noting that I reverted your edit because it seemed to be

Yeah, I can see the point, but I looked and thought "those citations are kind of lousy, they're all from people who had made up their mind before they even saw it, I wonder what the mainstream said?" And I discovered that the mainstream totally ignored the film. Now there's a quote immediately above saying something like that from a culture warrior at National Review so maybe that's good enough.

Here's the real problem: That section is has the standard title "Critical reception" but in this case the title is wrong, it's pretty well just "Ideological reception".

I might be prepared to argue that the *absence* of coverage from reliable sources ought to be cite-able - it's easily checked, just like a high-quality reliable-source cite. Anyhow, no feelings hurt. Tim Bray (talk) 21:02, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
