"excessive trivia and irrelevant praise [&] criticism"

[edit]

The above is a quote from template:fansite, which I was tempted to add to this article. It is chock full of semi-random praise/criticism from mostly obscure sources. This is included because, well this is the only things people actually say about this magazine. Nobody bothers to describe or analyse it in any depth. The article may have survived its first AfD but, unless well-sourced substantive material is added, it is unlikely to survive its next one. HrafnTalkStalk 04:05, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits, removal of tags

[edit]

Given the large number of inline tags associated with citation problems this article has, removing the 'refimprove' is hardly warranted. Given the large number of cites to CO, its authors (particularly Davies) and fellow-traveller organisations, removal of the primarysources tag is likewise premature.

'Controversy' sections are against wikipedia guidelines, as are honorifics like Professor/Dr/Bishop/The Honorable before people's names (if you want to give context, include the person's job title -- Bishop of XXX for YYY church /Professor of XXX for YYY University/etc).

Relevance?

[edit]

Can somebody please explain to me the relevance of:

  • A CO accusation that a bishop, in explicitly "off-the-record" (and therefore unverifiable) remarks, described CO unflatteringly. If it were verifiable that the bishop said it, it would be relevant, but all we have is that CO said that the bishop said it -- hearsay (particularly as it's unlikely that Pead was present when the bishop said it.
  • Likewise, the claim by Pead about what "the new interim editor of London’s Catholic Herald" said. More hearsay.
  • The actions of a group that CO is only affiliated to.

This is meant to be an encyclopaedia, not a gossip column -- so should be about what WP:RSs say about CO, not what they say about other groups, and what CO says other people have said about them. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 10:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
