Limiting our additions to good sources[edit]

Dnslzy, KerstingFan, others: A lot of work has gone into this article. Thank you, and the other Conway Library editors, for this. However, a caution.

Lucy Wallace Porter (a.k.a. Lucy Bryant Wallace/Lucy Queensley Porter^[1]) [...]

-- so Dnslzy had written, by 19 August.

Except for freakishly unusual purposes (notably for a Wikipedia article that's about writing in Wikipedia [example]), Wikipedia may not be cited. (See "Wikipedia" within the [alphabetically ordered] table in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.)

Still, I thought I'd take a look.

Sure enough, the "Lucy Queensley Porter" factoid appeared in the article "Arthur Kingsley Porter" (incidentally, an article that to me seems oddly full of "society" talk, much of it from dubious sources). It had been introduced in this edit by this IP number, who neither commented on its addition nor provided any source.

We have been given no reason to believe this stuff. I note that in her lengthy paper on the photography of the Porters, Brush doesn't once use the string "queensley". And that's why I removed it from this article on 27 August.

I've also removed citations of "Find a Grave". (See "Find a Grave" in the table in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.)

Happy editing! But only on the bases of solid sources, please. -- Hoary (talk) 00:15, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
