Discussion
[edit ]- Oppose Oppose an unbelievably bad idea... especially for a wiki proposal... Arep Ticous 09:33, 12 September 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
- Oppose Oppose This definitely wouldn't be neutral, also the information contained on it would be subjective rather than objective. Falls outside the scope of WMF projects in my opinion. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 16:37, 20 October 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
- Oppose Oppose, sorry. I feel it is not within WMF scope. --Kostas20142 (talk) 22:06, 1 March 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
- Neutral Neutral - Something that will definitely never fit for a wiki, but it will fit for a non-wiki website. A suggestion would be to change the about to a wiki that gets reliable sources from the internet about an article subject on Wikipedia and pasted the sources automatically into a Wikipedia. If you do my suggestion or change the about to something better, than I will change it to a support. Arthurfan828 (talk) 01:10, 8 April 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
- Strong oppose The credibility ratings would often be extremely biased. Also, this is not necessarily an idea for a wiki. Random Wikimedian (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:44, 25 February 2021.
- Oppose Oppose "rate credibility of news and journalists" based on what? Specific quotes relating to journalists might be described on Wikiquote or even Wikipedia. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
