completely unsourced page
An editor removed a couple of lines and wrote "Removed speculative, inaccurate information" which completely cracks me up because nothing on the entire page is sourced. One could delete the entire page and simply say, Removed speculative, inaccurate information. how did this page survive any kind of scrutiny at all? I came here from the 1949 indianapolis 500 page that says Mauri Rose was fired on the spot for disobeying an order given by car owner Lou Moore. there's no source given for that on the on the 49 indy 500 page so I checked Lou Moore's page and find the same claim is made there also but there's also no source given and it has a citation needed tag. As an editor who has had to fight to keep things on a page through multiple sourcing embattled over water quality sources it bothers me to find pages where nobody cares that there's any sources at all. I think wikipedia has to be consistent in its standards or risk further erosion of it already tarnished image. Want to be able to say I read it on wikipedia and not have people scoff at me.

 * I've added some references to this article and 1949 Indianapolis 500 and Lou Moore. DH85868993 (talk) 11:42, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * the ones from motorsports magazine database are good because they are a longstanding magazine with professional journalists and editorial review. You have a three sentence paragraph where you used the same source at the end of every sentence. That is not necessary when all three can be found by following the same reference. One tag at the end of that paragraph would do.


 * Snapnet would not be considered a good source. Their about page lack any real information about who they are and what kind of structure they are. The news articles have no names attached to them which give the articles no journalistic credibility. Journalists have reputations and have editors and fact-checkers that make them accountable. It makes internet sources hard to use. Anybody can put up a website. This site has a corporate sponsor which could influence the content of the site. I would personally not use it unless I had a second source. BTW, there are better sources for most of what you use snapnet for. I'd like to see a better one used on his getting fired by Moore.


 * I've come across several editors that would descend on that source and remove the content, even on pages like this that of no real importance. I'm not doing that. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it.


 * I am going to remove the unneeded tags and add a citation need tag. Jackhammer111 (talk) 03:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for tidying up the Motor Sport references (I originally had a different reference for each sentence, which I ended up replacing with the Motor Sport reference; I failed to notice that all three sentences ended up with the same reference). If you know of better references for the info currently supported by the Snaplap reference, then by all means replace them. DH85868993 (talk) 08:04, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
