@ Thebigbennke: Are you being serious or not. I don't have all day and this edit war need to end. Instead of calling me a troll for no reason either stop the disruptive editing or explain why you are doing this. Bowling is life ( talk) 22:33, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
@ Bowling is life: ( Personal attack removed)
That Anthony Fantano is not considered a reliable source because he is self published, but this brings me a lot of concerns, first is how wikipedia mantains its encyclopedia style even though it is something that has grown beside (and beyond) it (it is an online knowledge encyclopedia, damn) and there is more to the kind of ideological side which I can't even touch because of how long that would be even to put the basis, but even admitting its policies as truth isn't kind of strange that there is a mention here by Robert Christgau, just because he is Robert Christgau, if you read the article referenced you could note that he hasn't watched a single Needledrop video and is just giving his opinion as it is, a personal opinion of someone which its content he doesn't really know, but that is given as something worth adding to an article which feels kind of strange because the opinion of Robert isn't that different of what you can see in some random comment of Fantano's video, but is given the editorial importance because of the person it is coming from, what I'm saying is this article seems lackluster for the kind of person it is giving encyclopedic information about, this isn't the first time wikipedia has added something that is factually wrong/irrelevant as a source, but I feel concerned of how normal this is because of internal policies, if wikipedia purpose is to keep an archive of knowledge and truth, doesn't this kind of things kind of self.defeat it's purpose on the first place?
Taking Fantano's article as an example but I feel this is something bigger and sorry, I don't have the energy or patience to tackle it big scale, but is something I have seen a lot in this place Whatsupwiththis ( talk) 14:02, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
@ Alyo: Could you specify how the paragraph implies that the complaint's statements are neutral facts? I thought I was being clear in the sentence about Fantano's (alleged) threat because of the "According to Activision" at the start. The sentence you removed did mention that the argument was simply being stated by lawyers (without any confirmation of their claims), though I admit I could've specified ("Activision's laywers stated..."). If the attribution wasn't clear enough, I could try rewriting the sentences. ObserveOwl ( talk) 07:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
