Speaking of reckless editing...[edit]

   Ya see, this Wikipedian clicks on "edit", and then confounds "visibly" (accurately perceptible by eye) with "merely apparent"/ "mere appearance", and a routine coincidence with "event worth construing as a occult foreshadowing of, or causal factor behind, a later event". We can report people documentable as pursuing conspiracy theories, but not single out pairs events that could be connected, without reliable studies involving calculations of the odds against mere chance producing comparable outcomes.

Are talking about the scene in the episode where Lisa held up the brochure? In preparation of the article being Today's Featured Article for September 11th, I added text (backed by two citations) about the apparent reference to 9/11 Attacks. Having the text omitted from the article would harm its FA status. Since the apparent reference didn't take off until after the article reached FA status over a decade ago, its inclusion made the article more effective for the reader. The citations were not from some random Youtube account or Infowars, but from two, established newspapers which had conversations or mentioned the writers discussing the scene. I relied on guidance from Bart to the Future's article where it referenced a scene when Lisa mentioned the Donald Trump Administration. FunksBrother (talk) 15:18, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
