WP:ORIGINALSYN sentence[edit]

I removed the following sentence:

On February 24, 2016, US Uncut published an article with the headline that claimed it was "stunning" that Bernie Sanders led nationally by 6 percent in a Reuters National Poll, when the national polls from the same day at the nonpartisan fivethirtyeight.com had Clinton at 49.1% and Sanders at 39.4%.[1][2]

because I believe it violates WP:ORIGINALSYN, which states: "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." It appears that this sentence combines the two sources to imply the conclusion that either US Uncut is trying to mislead readers on this issue, or at least that US Uncut did not provide a satisfiably complete assessment of the situation. Regardless of whether or not these conclusions are true, they must be made by a reliable source to be included here. Trinitresque (talk) 17:54, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement about link and sourcing[edit]

@Oregon4progress: Since this is a defunct website, the infobox should link to the correct, defunct URL, not to a URL for a different website. And the source cited doesn't seem to support the claim that Clayton was "the original administrator of the page according to court documents". Please don't re-add this material without consensus. —Granger (talk · contribs) 12:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
