User:Harizotoh9 How about using [1] [2] [3] [4] and this book published by the University of Chicago press. [5] Dougweller ( talk) 20:04, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
I don't object to the section, just the using of self-sourcing. Self-sourcing should be used as little as possible. Otherwize pages run the risk of being filled with non-notable fluff, and the POV of the organization. If it has third party sources, then fine. I don't know if Christian Post is a reliable source, but Madison newspaper and the Uni of Chicago book look fine. -- Harizotoh9 ( talk) 20:08, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
I noticed there is nothing discussing their weekly videos posted on YouTube: Ask and Atheist and Freethought Matters (among others). I would contribute, but I am unsure if these video posts originate from somewhere else prior to the YouTube upload. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 08:57, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
UPDATE -- I would like to have input from other users on whether the paragraph should be removed since it has no reliable sources linked. The sole source is a Freedom from Religion Foundation page.
It is in the Events and activities section and appears as follows:
The Emperor Has No Clothes Award has been awarded by the Foundation since 1999 in recognition of "plain speaking" on the shortcomings of religion by public figures.[104] Past recipients include: Steven Weinberg; Jesse Ventura; Ted Turner; Andy Rooney; Janeane Garofalo; George Carlin; Richard Dawkins; Katha Pollitt; Robert Sapolsky; Steve Benson; Penn & Teller; Roger, Pat & Melody Cleveland; Natalie Angier; Ron Reagan; Peter Singer; Robyn Blumner; Anne Nicol Gaylor; Steven Pinker; Oliver Sacks; Julia Sweeney; Christopher Hitchens; Daniel C. Dennett; Ron Reagan; Ursula K. Le Guin; William Lobdell; Cenk Uygur; Ayaan Hirsi Ali; Jerry Coyne; Charles Strouse; Dan Savage; Juan Mendez; Bart D. Ehrman; Sean M. Carroll; Donald Johanson; Taslima Nasrin; Ernie Chambers; Lawrence Krauss; Steven Pinker; Paula Poundstone; Jared Huffman; Salman Rushdie; Adam Savage; Trae Crowder; and Anthony B. Pinn.

This section is simply an index of the awards from the organization website with a link to the website, a primary source. It should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihaveadreamagain ( talk • contribs) 16:39, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
@Mramoeba -
There are problems with your reversion of my edit, which was deleting a blog as a source. Now the formatting is messy after you added a footnote at the beginning of the paragraph and changed the Title format. I would revert and fix it but I don't want anyone to think I'm edit warring :) Also you need to delete the "friendly atheist" citation. Adding the other citation does not fix the fact that sources like that blog are not reliable for wikipedia purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihaveadreamagain ( talk • contribs) 16:58, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
