Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Should that be included?

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Maybe.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

I actually would have to think hard about that one.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

So there are edge cases.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Anyway, so the...

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

My reasonable proposal โ€“ all of my proposals in the nine theses are extremely reasonable.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

There's nothing particularly outlandish about any of them except to Wikipedians because they're really stuck in their ways.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

But to everybody else, they make a lot of sense.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

And so here, I'm simply saying โ€“

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Abolish the blacklists.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Okay, so get rid of the perennial sources page.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

It began as an essay, if I'm not mistaken, and so it should be made a subpage of the person who ever started it.

Camp Gagnon

And then you simply say that if there is a source which is not

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

supported, that is regarded by many Wikipedians as not reliable, et cetera, then you, when there is a claim made in such a source, depending on the circumstances,

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

It can be made, but it has to be attributed to the source.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

And the other side obviously should be given an opportunity to respond with its own sources as needed.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Which is what we have been speaking about.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

So I don't really think that's necessary to go into any more detail about that.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

But that particular article, each of these has an article that it's linked to.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

That particular article is good as a sort of introduction to the issues involved.
