"Group sexual assault" vs "gang rape" and linking

The first sentence calls the purported event a "group sexual assault", for which I added a link for the words "sexual assault" . Later (and multiple times thereafter), it is called a "gang rape", for which I added a link to "gang rape". I think the phrases are synonymous in the context of this article, so it might be better to use the phrase that matches our wikipedia article on the underlying topic first. Otherwise, we should probably link "group sexual assault" to gang rape, since that is the most relevant article we have (subtopic of sexual assault), and it seems un-necessary to hide the actual article title by piping since we do use the actual term also. At some other point in the article (§ Story?), when the event itself is simply called a "sexual assault", we could link that term. DMacks (talk) 22:15, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Caller

This is not a reliable source, as per the "Important note about Jackie's last name." However, I see it cited 5 times - refs 36, 37, 76, 120, and 127. Thoughts? GABgab 03:00, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a link to the "Important note", please? XavierItzm (talk) 23:20, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I see it shows up when one edits the article.XavierItzm (talk) 23:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, is there a Wikipedia policy-based document that blacklists the Daily Caller? Because I have no idea where the "Important note" comes from... it says to look into a discussion wherein the Daily Caller is not even mentioned! If I make a note to appear at the top of any articles and I say the NYT is not a WP:RS , then do we get to delete all refs coming from the NYT on the hypothetical article? (not that I would ever; this is only a hypothetical). XavierItzm (talk) 23:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
