Re-creation?

I thought that recording was just a recreation. 2800:200:ED40:1154:89D0:BC8:2C80:3611 (talk) 19:00, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there’s no chain of custody so we don’t know if it’s the real thing or not. The audio quality is pretty good so it sounds like it came straight out of the TV studio console if it’s real. What gets me is how dumb the message is. This is straight out of a 1950s B movie script, even for the 1970s. Viriditas (talk) 00:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not revert my removal of the audio again.

Regardless of whether or not it's a recreation (and I personally believe it is), its origin point is just some random youtube video from some random youtube channel, almost the dictionary definition of an unreliable source. SingleIssueMotor (talk) 19:43, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== Alternative phrasing of the findings by the Interuption ==
-Having established that The Interuption may not conform under [[WP:RS]], it may still be counted as one theory or explonation for the interruption - for reference to anyone in the future working. Is there a way to note the findings under "In popular culture" or "Theories" or something similar?

-:We typically just don't include sources that aren't reliable. It's surprising this hasn't gotten any coverage anywhere, considering it's a fun bit of pop culture. I think we're probably just going to have to wait until a reliable source mentions it. &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 15:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
-::I had a follow up to my response which I'll type here for want of anything else. If, by now, there has been no follow-up then the podcast couldn't have had that much reach, so if we keep our Wikipedia hats firmly on, the podcast can't be that important or notable so the findings can't be that notable either...

+== Please do not revert my removal of the audio again. ==
-Hi! Discovered this discussion after listening to the podcast. It seems from what I've read that the main issue people have is whether the podcast comes from a reliable source. I checked out [https://stak.london/shows/the-interruption/ the website] and though the journalist himself is a relative unknown, the company producing the show, Stak, is pretty noted. Stak is [https://stak.london/shows/the-football-ramble/ the current producer] of ''[[The Football Ramble]]''. They've [https://stak.london/articles/introducing-my-seven-wonders-with-clive-anderson/ collaborated with other noted personalities], such as [[Clive Anderson]]. They've won multiple [[British Podcast Awards]]. All evidence seems to indicate that it's a reputable publisher.
