Quotation of the day

“

It takes a lot of guts to come back to someone and tell them that you were wrong. I commend you greatly for doing that. It puts a shine and a glow on your character, and that means even more that you belong here as an editor. Don't worry about it. :-) Learn from this, and grow from this - that's all you can do. You're new here... You're going to make mistakes. I made a lot of them when I was new here, too.

Failed verification

Maybe I'll keep track of cases in which I found an ostensibly sourced claim in an article not to be supported by its ostensible source (i.e., found it to fail verification), for future reference as to how common this is.

Rating key:

1 — The claim only mildly or understandably misrepresents the source.
2 — The source says something similar but not this.
3 — The source says nothing similar.
4 — The source casts doubt on the claim.
5 — The source outright disagrees with the claim.
