It seems that this comment "there's something very odd about it, like statements made with references part way, but goes on about something that's not in the source. It has this appearance of starting with what they want to write about, and trying to "find sources" around the desired contents." was written by you. I do not understand what you mean by it. Do you want references to be all at the end of a paragraph? This is why you think that there are "part way"? What do you mean by "find sources". Could you give me specific example of what is very odd, please. Puncinus (talk) 00:26, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Puncinus:, This is moved from my talk page, because it's about an article. Not having any loose-ends would be ideal. Editors put things into Wikipedia that can not be verified in sources all the time even though they're not supposed to do it. When there's no inline citation on the end, it makes it extremely difficult to verify the claim. Anything stated must be directly verifiable, per WP:V. However, note that everything verifiable doesn't guarantee inclusion. Sources like things authored by the subject should be used very sparingly. YouTube, vimeo, TikTok and such are largely unacceptable as sources. Editors should be locating sources first, then put in their own words what's said in the source. Although you can't take separate sources and make up a new conclusion not supported by the sources directly. Graywalls (talk) 00:34, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific about this particular article. I asked for specific example of "very odd" references. What is you objecting to - the style of citation, placement of the citation? What is "no inline citation on the end"? Puncinus (talk) 00:09, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
