Jimmy Carter
[edit]There is an internet rumour regarding Jimmy Carter and this individual, however no reliable source can be found for this information, and it will be deleted if added. Canadianpoliticaljunkie (talk) 23:32, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Removed the claim again regarding Jimmy Carter, because the only citation provided was to "Warfare History Network". After reviewing the site and searching for corroboration in independent sources, I could not locate this claim in any reliable source.
- Per Wikipedia’s core content policies:
- WP:V (Verifiability) requires that all material challenged or likely to be challenged—particularly contentious claims—must be supported by a reliable, published source.
- WP:RS (Reliable sources) specifies that self-published material or enthusiast websites (like Warfare History Network) are generally not considered reliable for contentious or analytical statements, unless the author is a recognized expert and the work has editorial oversight.
- WP:UNDUE and WP:FRINGE caution against giving weight to information that is not reflected in mainstream, high-quality sources. If a claim appears only in one marginal source and nowhere else, it is a strong indicator that it is not suitable for inclusion.
- In this case, Warfare History Network is a commercial magazine-style website for military history enthusiasts. While it offers detailed narratives, it is not peer-reviewed, not an academic publication, and does not meet the threshold of reliability for controversial or extraordinary claims.
- For inclusion, this claim would need support from independent, secondary sources such as:
- Peer-reviewed academic journals
- Books published by reputable academic or mainstream presses
- Established newspapers and magazines with editorial oversight (e.g., The New York Times, The Guardian)
- Recognized subject-matter experts writing in their field in reputable venues
- Unless such a source can be found, including the claim would violate Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View and Verifiability standards.
- If anyone can locate a reliable source that substantiates this information, please share it here. Otherwise, the claim should remain omitted. Canadianpoliticaljunkie (talk) 15:35, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
