Main issue I'm worried about is bias concerning sources and text, if the reviewers would like to give feedback on how to improve the article I'd like to hear it. Yokohama1989 ( talk) 20:57, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
@ Horse Eye's Back I don't understand the reasoning behind labeling Morris-Suzuki as unreliable. I understand that Pearls and Irritations is unreliable, as the journal features prominent CCP apologists, but Tessa Morris-Suzuki has authored many publications independent of Pearls and Irritations such as at the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs[1], the École des hautes études en sciences sociales[2], and books published by the university where she formerly taught at, Australia National University 3. I'd say that the source works under WP:SPS, "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications.", as Suzuki is an established subject-matter expert, who repeatedly published reliable, independent works outside of Pearls and Irritations.
Another important thing to note is that the secondary source links to a primary FOIA document which explicitly states the details of the operation which Morris-Suzuki alleges "The purpose of this memorandum is to outline in detail the action taken by CCS/NC inconjunction with your request for assistance in the purchasing in a secure manner ten colored TV receivers for shipment to POJACKPOT/1, an indigenous FE contact in Japan."
Based on this, I believe that despite the unreliability and biased nature of the publication that is Pearls and Irritations, the article itself constitutes an expert self-published source.
