Basic biographical elements and WP:V
I recently removed an unverified date of birth, and swapped birthplace for one supported by several references that state Sarasota, Florida. However I now see there was a previous discussion of alleged errors in place and date of birth initiated by an IP address claiming to be Sharyl Attkisson. Many sources state Attkisson is a Sarasota "native"[1][2][3][4] while some explicitly state born in Sarasota.[5][6][7] A directory of questionable reliability for a BLP (Marquis Who's Who) gives a birthplace of St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as names of parents, spouse, and daughter.[8] A full date of birth is listed at her Library of Congress authority file (based on a "CIP data sheet"), as well as a 2003 version of her CBS News biography (subsequent versions of her official biography apparently omitted place and date of birth). She was also previously known as Sharyl Thompson.[3][9][10] I haven't yet found sources where the subject has clearly self-published or Tweeted DOB or POB, which could be used per WP:BLPSELFPUB. I guess the salient question is: which birth elements should we use, and how best to address the discrepancies? --Animalparty! (talk) 01:27, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Two problems with the starting line. First, each of the three references provided have nothing to do with the assertion "a position rejected by the scientific community". Second, it's improper to claim that the scientific community is a single entity with a single voice, or that this particular question was resolved. Agreed there is dispute as to Vaccine Efficacy and the extent of Adverse Reactions. However, the US Government has a huge system in place for tracking adverse reactions, and some vaccines are pulled from the market because their harm exceeds their good. So we can't throw out every critical report of vaccines on presumptive belief. The article needs to stay on topic, the fact that she reported on a controversial topic is fair game, but jumping on one side is not appropriate. There is significant dispute by medical doctors, scholars, and reporters on the topic of vaccines [1][2][3] and every article can't be a forum to resolve such disputes, nor a platform to claim the resolution of such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowsetfree (talk • contribs) 13:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
