Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard

Am I Racist? is likely to be a... let's call it... frequently-edited article over the next few weeks. As of right now, its only two citations are from twitchy.com. I've seen a few mentions of it in the archives, but mostly in the context of other media properties its parent company owns. Its page Twitchy calls it a "Twitter aggregator and commentary website". That doesn't sound super reliable to me.

Is using Twitchy justified in this case? Snowman304|talk 06:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Deadpool & Wolverine

A request for the input on the talk page of Deadpool & Wolverine on the section Talk:Deadpool & Wolverine#Critical reception: subsection Talk:Deadpool & Wolverine#Survey. We have tried to form a consensus on how to deal with the unclear critical reception and whether/how it should be reflected in the header of the article.

Should a critical summary statement be added to the lead section?
Among the following options for that statement, if it is added, which one is worded best?
1. Some reported that the film was well received by critics, while others found overall reception to be more divisive.
2. Some publications such as USA Today reported that the film was positively received by critics, while others like the New York Times determined it to be more divisive.
3. Reviews of the film differ by source: some say it was divisive amongst critics, while others said it received positive reviews.
4. The film received positive and divisive reviews according to critics.

Please note: If the consensus supports Question #1, then the statement with the most support from Question #2 will be selected. BarntToust (talk) 14:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
