In this @ Generalrelative reverted a change I made to remove unsourced content. Could you please identify where the content is sourced int he referenced article? The discussion you link does not address this topic, and is on another wikipedia talk page. Text removed:
The far-right in the United States is composed of various Neo-fascist, Neo-Nazi, White nationalist, and White supremacist organizations and networks who have been known to refer to an " acceleration" of racial conflict through violent means such as assassinations, murders, terrorist attacks, and societal collapse, in order to achieve the building of a White ethnostate.
The cited article does not have any discussion of the composition of the far right. In fact, the topic of the article is about a specific neo-fascist network, and doesn't discuss the far-right or authoritarianism in any substantive manner. Supporting quotes which establish this content are needed here, as this looks like a cut and dried case of bad sourcing. TheMissingMuse ( talk) 16:24, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
[1] That wasn't even remotely difficult for me to find. Generalrelative ( talk) 23:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)The Public Eye is a peer-reviewed quarterly magazine published by Political Research Associates.
The legacy website http://www.publiceye.org is used throughout the article citing this source. This is a self published page, and generally not a reliable secondary source. I will be removing this source from the article. If anyone has any specific issues with this course of action, please feel free to raise them here. TheMissingMuse ( talk) 23:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
As no one has yet advocated for preserving the source, I will be moving forward with the removal of [3] from the article in the coming days. If anyone thinks we should preserve that source, please share your perspective. TheMissingMuse ( talk) 15:39, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Is authoritarianism a human right abuse?, or can it be compatible with human rights? 2806:108E:18:8603:A060:27DC:9CEA:F3D ( talk) 00:59, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
I have now removed the “current” and “historical” tables of examples of authoritarian states. This change was suggested and gained consensus earlier this year ( Talk:Authoritarianism/Archive 2#Examples section), with the rationale that the list is hard to maintain at any reasonably neutral point of view and is hard to support properly as much more than original research or synthesis.
It seems sensible that some select examples should be pulled out to be discussed in prose. For anyone looking to reference these tables, I leave the last revision with the tables here. (Note, immediately prior to my wholesale removal, FCBWanderer removed multiple states in this change, in case anyone sees that prior version as more complete.) — HTGS ( talk) 01:45, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
