, 23:43, September 25, 2007Replacing a sourced claim with an unsourced one?
== Replacing a sourced claim with an unsourced one? ==
I cringe at the removal of the "protection" bit (it's right there in the source - if you don't like what it says, don't use it) and the immediate insertion of the "scientifically unsound" bit without ANY source. This isn't driven by ideology, but rather by my natural curiosity. I sit here, going all "Why? Who? How? When?"
I'm sorry if I'm trampling on conservative truisms here, but could I pretty please have a source there so we can see who claims what? Or a link to an article that explains it? Right now, it looks like pure opinion, sorry.
This isn't just about this article (and I have nothing against Ed, it just happened to be this article that made me post this), but I think I fairly often saw "Liberals claim that x, but in reality, we all know that y" ''truth-because-it's-not-liberal'' statements here on CP. It's just now that I notice the pattern (although I'm sure it's not a deliberate act, just conservatives forgetting to mention sources for something they learned long ago and now take for granted).
Any opinions? Am I just seeing things? --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 19:43, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
