Hello Wiki Ninjas!

I looked through the individual sources that are grouped together and there are some that don't verify, and one group is a duplicate.

In the largest group (11), none of the sources about the Daily Stormer even mention Epik - they just say how much ick is on the site and the history of the guy that made it. Others exist, so why have 4 that don't verify?

Also, the second group that includes 6 citations (10 and 60) are the exact same. I tried to see if I could fix it, then I realized its way more complicated than I realized. I don't want to break anything.

I haven't seen this kind of citation style anywhere else. What is the reason behind needing so many citations anyway? Why is it so complicated? JesseL0vesT0ast (May the toast be with you.) (talk) 18:24, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey @JesseL0vesT0ast,

I have seen this referred to as bundled citations in some other articles. I consolidated the two that have 6 citations that were the same. I also consolidated two other citations that were the same before that. As for the large group with the Daily Stormer citations, I think that'll take more time. I'll want to go through and read the sources more closely. Did you have a better citation in mind that verifies the claims in the article? BiblioGator (talk) 12:35, 7 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @BiblioGator!

Thank you for your wizardry! That looks so much better.

This source HERE verifies. I made sure to check, it is already being used. The link I'm sharing is the same archived link used in the article. JesseL0vesT0ast (May the toast be with you.) (talk) 16:40, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

You're right @JesseL0vesT0ast, none of those three articles say anything about Epik, and the one you suggested does. I removed the non-verifying ones and reused the Washington Post article that you suggested. Thanks for pointing that out. BiblioGator (talk) 12:11, 12 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for doing it! JesseL0vesT0ast (May the toast be with you.) (talk) 16:05, 12 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sure, no problem. Happy editing. BiblioGator (talk) 11:12, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
