Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/References

This references subpage is designed to make it easier to find sources that have conservative or center political leanings that are seen by Wikipedians as generally-reliable for citing. The sources in this section have not been discussed by the community more than once and are candidates that might be brought up for discussion or that should be periodically checked to see if discussions on them have occurred.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independent Journal Review | Right | 2018 | 'There is no consensus on the reliability of the Independent Journal Review. Posts from "community" members are considered self-published sources. The site's "news" section consists mostly of syndicated stories from Reuters, and citations of these stories should preferably point to Reuters.' As of 2026, it looks like it is using mostly content from Daily Caller News Foundation, a deprecated source in 2019, though there is still a significant amount of its own news content. Ad Fontes lists it as 'strong right' and 'less reliable' | |||

| The Dispatch | tbd | 1 | 2020 | RIght-leaning,[43][44][45] newer outfit that might not have enough of a firewall between ownership and editorial direction. Too new to really say as of last discussion in 2020. Is it worth an RFC? | 0.89 | |
| The New Atlantis | 1 | 2017 | The New Atlantis should be considered generally unreliable due to concerns about its think tank association. | 1 |
0.89 | |
| Straight Arrow News | 1 | 2025 | Straight Arrow News (SAN) should, for now, be considered generally unreliable due to editors concerns about its lack of editorial independence from a vocal pro-Trump Republican billionaire megadonor owner. SAN, launched in 2021, has not yet created a track record of journalistic best practices that editors can feel confident about its reliability. | 1 |
0.80 | |
| The Times Literary Supplement | 1 | 2015 | The Times Literary Supplement should be considered generally unreliable as an advocacy organization. Editors particularly expressed concern about it being described as 'a missionary journal, not a scholarly one'. | 1 |
