Undiscussed move[edit]

Please see the first paragraph of WP:MOVE. When a move might be controversial, you need to seek consensus or go through the procedure at WP:Requested moves. For example, sources at this search prefer it with the hyphen. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:57, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - in that case, I'll start a discussion around the move here. I believe the name is currently spelled "Do-nuts" because there is a photograph of a poster from the shop that uses this spelling. However, in articles this seems to be more commonly referenced as the "Copper Donuts Riot" rather than "Cooper Do-nuts Riot" so I propose a name change to align with this. InkyBlueCheetah (talk) 12:57, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move - There are plenty of sources (see search in first message in thread) that show this place was Doing Business As Cooper Do-nuts besides the window photo. While many sources assume an error and "correct" it to name the product sold here, donuts, that is not a reason to do it here. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 14:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sourced content and refs removed[edit]

Sourced content and (at least) two references were removed in this edit. There was a significant improvement to other sections in this large edit that spanned the article, and the complex diff appearance on such a large edit makes it difficult for another editor to tease out the good parts that were removed, and put them back. User:InkyBlueCheetah, can you please look over that edit (and possibly subsequent ones, if relevant) and either justify the removal of sourced content, or restore it to the article? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 00:35, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I went back to try and address this. I added back most of the citations, but 2 of them did not seem to add new or specific information that was referenced on the page, so I left them in the Additional Information section. I am also not sure if all of these meet Wikipedia's standards for citations? While some of them reference well-known online sources such as the New York times, others reference websites that may be less established as journalistic sources.. Is there a rule of thumb for deciding whether to include a website as a reference? InkyBlueCheetah (talk) 12:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for guidance on evaluating sources. Rule of thumb: any doubt, don't use. Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 15:00, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
