good faith and editorializing

@Bricks&Wood I take issue with [1] your edit summary saying I did not edit in good faith. This is a violation of WP:AGF, but let's look past that for a moment and ponder the matter at hand: you're saying Nothing is exaggerated and that information is sourced from reliable and notable publications available to the public. So in 1972 The Orlando Sentinel published this sentence:

I get word from Kirk Douglas that Starigrad-Pakeleneka, which is so tiny and remote that you can't find it on a map, has become a major tourist attraction since he and his clan have arrived for "Scalawag" filming.

This is obviously hyperbole, because yes, you can find it on a map, which is how these people got there in the first place. I also checked what the population of the place was in the 70s, and it was about a thousand people - to claim that such a place in the middle of Europe is so tiny and remote is just silly. Which is fine - newspaper articles sometimes embellish things. It would not, however, be appropriate if we blindly carried over this tone and style into the encyclopedia.

Secondly, using this source to support the sentence:

When The Bryna Company cast and crew arrived, the area was so remote that it was not listed on any map, but within weeks of their arrival, the town had been inundated by tourists who wanted to be near Hollywood stars.

...is so closely paraphrasing that it could be argued it's risking a violation of the copyright policy. Do we really need this in a 300 KB article about a production company? --Joy (talk) 07:04, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
