Anti-Defamation League[edit]

Is the Anti-Defamation League really a reliable source for Wikipedia's standards?? --Cesar Tort 20:10, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Yes, they are. Thanks for asking. 71.93.182.252 (talk) 12:48, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. That’s precisely why I retired from the wiki :) Cesar Tort 03:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"After I semi-retired from the wiki, I became interested in the ongoing demographic dilution of the white people and its consequence: the suicide of Western civilization. Kevin MacDonald’s books and the online writings of other ethno-patriots dramatically changed my worldview from liberalism to... the most forbidden POV in Wikipedia." Obvious racist/anti-Semite is obvious. 201.215.149.185 (talk) 21:42, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RfC[edit]

BAn RfC: Which descriptor, if any, can be added in front of Southern Poverty Law Center when referenced in other articles? has been posted at the Southern Poverty Law Center talk page. Your participation is welcomed. – MrX 17:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A datum on notability[edit]

I found this page with a Google search, not knowing what this source was all about, having seen articles posted from it on an internet forum. Were it not for the Wiki article, I might not have learned that this is a white supremacist website. So at least some people search for this article, if that says anything about its subject's notability (notoreity?).2601:B:C580:2D9:CAF7:33FF:FE77:D800 (talk) 22:26, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the notability of this far-right supremacist website isn't really questionable, since it pops up on Google pretty much every time I search a controversial political topic. (They must have a great SEO guy, or great advertising on Stormfront. I'm not interested in checking.) Disturbing, yes, and unfortunately also notable. I am going to remove the notability template now. If someone wants to put it back up, please leave a note on this Talk page explaining your reasoning.

Credibility[edit]

Perhaps there should be a section that, instead of focusing on labels like racism and antisemitism, rather focused on examining the arguments presented by articles in the Occidental Observer and pointing out the deliberate or non-deliberate errors they make to twist facts into suiting their own point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8388:500:D200:71E4:75DE:11A9:E465 (talk) 04:06, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I recently stumbled upon this web site too and then decided to see what wikipedia had to say... Not surprisingly the article starts with comments from noted political neocons like David Frum and is decisively clear in displaying discontent with the Occidental Observer. There is no examples of it's prose, no explanation of it's positions, reasoning etc... This article needs to establish a more balanced approach to the "Occidental Observer" as a publication. The ADL is NOT an example of a balanced organization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsieur Voltaire (talk • contribs) 04:11, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia reports what independent reliable sources say about a topic. ADL is one such source.

We do not present "examinations" of sources, "examples of it's [sic] prose", its "positions", "reasoning" or any other apologetics you may wish to offer for it.

Independent reliable sources say it's a far-right, white nationalist and antisemitic site so Wikipedia says it's a far-right, white nationalist and antisemitic site. - SummerPhD^v2.0 13:51, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Far Right?[edit]

What makes occidental Observer "right" let alone "far right"? 47.137.185.72 (talk) 05:11, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources describe it as such? EvergreenFir (talk) 07:15, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed by independent reliable sources, its far right, white nationalist, anti-semitic content along with a who's who of "scientific racism" make it far right. - SummerPhD^v2.0 13:54, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

47.137.189.77/47.137.189.72 has been blocked for recurring sockpuppetry. Shocking, I know. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
