A barnstar for you!

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
Thank you for creating the article on Whataboutism.

I've greatly expanded the page. Before [1]. After [2].

I've also added to the top of the article talk page, the number of attempts made by certain individuals to have the information disappeared, either through deletion attempts or merge attempts.

Hopefully, now that the page represents a greater corpus of research, such attempts will decrease and or fail in the future.

What do you think of the article, after my research and expansion efforts ? Sagecandor (talk) 06:30, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I think you've done an amazing job. The number of sources especially is incredibly well done. I haven't had the time lately to spend on Wikipedia, so I thank you for spending your own time on improving that article. Especially since the topic has seen so much use in recent times. I think some parts of the wording and some repetitiveness could be improved, but overall, it's a great article. And I can see it easily approved for Good Article status. I hope that goes well, by the way. SilverserenC 21:24, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Thank you. Silver seren, as you originally created the article, perhaps you'd like to know that some editors don't think The Economist is a reliable source.
  • Staff writer (31 January 2008). "Whataboutism". The Economist. Retrieved 3 July 2017. Soviet propagandists during the cold war were trained in a tactic that their western interlocutors nicknamed 'whataboutism'.

The very first sentence of the 2008 article in The Economist explains quite clearly that it was NOT coined by The Economist itself.

And yet, editors continue to dispute this. I'm scratching my head here because I know that The Economist is a reliable source. And yet certain individuals prefer to refer to usage of the source as "faith" and their own WP:Original research as somehow better than The Economist. I don't know what to do here.
