Sourcing of this article

[edit]

In the light of the RFC concerning Daily Mail sourcing, I have raised the requirements for this article at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 221#Material sourced to Daily Mail in "St Paul's Survives". Thincat (talk) 09:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why this would even be an issue. The DM has its problems, but it's not the Weekly World News. Are you suggesting the photo was fabricated, given it was taken from the DM building itself, by a DM photographer?--Auric talk 21:27, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No. The RFC was closed with rationale including "Consensus has determined that the Daily Mail (including its online version, dailymail.co.uk) is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is to be generally prohibited, especially when other more reliable sources exist. As a result, the Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, nor should it be used as a source in articles." so I wanted an assessment of the referencing in this case. The "St Paul's" discussion is archived at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 221#Material sourced to Daily Mail in "St Paul's Survives". The RFC was a silliness but it looks as if little harm will be done. Thincat (talk) 09:22, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
