→"Obamacare fines to be seized from bank accounts?" article is false: overriding responsibility
I think Greg is right here - ultimately some sources are more reliable than others - we can't ignore that. Politifact is a reputable fact-checking organization; they seems to have pretty thoroughly debunked the chain email. Will we next have an article about a Nigerian prince needing $500?--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 12:19, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

An encyclopedia has an overriding responsibility to avoid spreading dangerous falsehoods. Proceeding by slapping daft rumours and nonsensical claims into this and other articles will do nothing to improve the already abysmal reputation of Conservapedia. As I've occasionally suggested in the past, recruiting from a broader pool of potential editors and implementing procedures similar to those evolved by Wikipedia would improve quality of content. --[[User:TonySidaway|TonySidaway]] 12:47, 13 October 2013 (EDT)
