The Rebel Media[edit]

Hi Harald. Thanks for joining the discussion at Talk:The Rebel Media. If you don't mind my curiosity, how did you come to this discussion? I ask because there has been a surprising number of the editors weighing in recently have been either unregistered or brand new like yourself. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it makes me wonder if the page is being discussed somewhere off-wiki (like on a discussion board or something). --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dr Fleischman, thank you for your message. I understand your concern and I can assure you that I did not come here as a result of this page being discussed in a forum or on a discussion board. The reason I came to this discussion was because I've read a few articles from Rebel Media on Canada's M-103 and was taken aback when I read that it was described as being far-right on Wikipedia. It doesn't come across as being neutral and is overall negative. I think it is vital that Wikipedia articles are neutral in its description, but still allow for different views and criticism etc. I therefore decided to join in the discussion to see if I could make a contribution. Since I'm a new to this, please forgive any formatting errors or lack of etiquette of mine as a I navigate my way through. HaraldTheBlue (talk) 01:35, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. As long as you are civil and open to learning about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines then you'll go far. You and I may disagree on some things but your opinion is valued (by me at least). --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 03:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
