Line 119:
The first sample reference is identified as reliable because "news articles from the Los Angeles Times are considered generally reliable." However, the reference is to a blog post hosted by the L.A. Times; it is not to a news article in that publication. As it happens, the blog post is by a writer who works for the Times, so it might still be a reliable reference, but the reason given for it being reliable is not correct. I lack the experience to make an actual correction here and am simply bringing it to the attention of more experienced persons who might feel more confident in correcting it. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Diversitti|Diversitti]] ([[User talk:Diversitti#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Diversitti|contribs]]) </span>
:{{re|Diversitti}} Yeah, I did notice that that article was to a "L.A. Times blog" when I added it. It seems that the ''L.A. Times'' tried out labeling some of their articles as blogs at some point, but as you noticed, they're still written by staffers and still look like they carry the same reliability as the newspaper itself. If it's tripping people up, we could try swapping it out for a different clearly reliable publication that covered the SOPA protest. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>{{u|</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}}</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 16:42, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Editing any WP page produces ''Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable through citations to reliable sources.'' Where can i request correction of that text? Correct English is "references to" but "citations of reliable sources". --[[User:Espoo|Espoo]] ([[User talk:Espoo|talk]]) 05:59, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
