Bright Trip[edit]

there are no secondary sources talking about his company. I think the whole section should be removed. Wikipedia is not a place to promote new things to the world. 1Veertje (talk) 06:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; removed. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it still mentioned with a source written by the company itself and the promotional and redundant statement "to help people travel smarter"?89.204.135.69 (talk) 22:22, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. And it still stands to this day. 2804:14C:6588:848B:65D6:E013:1A9:4C67 (talk) 03:28, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you can add a reliable source to it, feel free to add it to the article. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 06:25, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube videos are not reliable, but Kyiv Post appears to be reliable. Feel free to edit the article yourself. Just Be bold and write it in your own words, provided that it is supported by the Kyiv Post article. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 10:33, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question here, obviously a newbie in here, but does this mean that objective critical youtube material is considered less reliable than a newspaper which relays war propaganda (understandably maybe). Is this viable considering the amount of quality material emanating on Youtube and the deterioration of the classical medias. Redriver999999 (talk) 17:56, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Redriver999999: WP:RSPS has a list of sources with their degree of reliability. Kyiv Post is not mentioned there, so you can open a thread at WP:RSN on discuss its reliability with the Wikipedia community. As for YouTube, videos can be produced by anyone, with any content, true or false. So, it is 'usually' not considered reliable, but YouTube videos uploaded on official channels of media are considered to inherit the degree of reliability of that media company. For example, NYT's YouTube videos will inherit the reliability of NYT newspaper/website, same for Fox, or France24, etc. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 09:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the answer. I don't necessarily want to question the reliability of the Kyiv Independent. It is more a question about biases in media, a newspaper can be biased,propagandist (in times of war) or outright conspiracist and so can YouTube channels. I am thinking about how all the knowledge that is being accumulated on YouTube bu individuals can be passed on as sources in the future as it is slowly replacing a portion of traditional media especially when it comes to Wikipedia pages on YouTube personalities. Redriver999999 (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please, anyone just do a thorough fact checking of his videos on history against scholarly sources. He gets way more credibility than he should and to the detriment of the public good. He just needs to be brought back to his senses to be a competent journalist. 2804:14C:6588:8151:2D9D:55A7:BABA:44CE (talk) 21:42, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please, it is nearly one and a half years since I first raised the issue and there still is no mention of his numerous factual mistakes on his videos on history and economics. There are jokes going around about experts debunking Johnny Harris being a YouTube video genre by now. Could someone who knows the precise rules of wikipedia take a look on this issue and make appropriate additions to the article? 2804:14C:6588:848B:65D6:E013:1A9:4C67 (talk) 19:31, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
