This Article's Sources Seem Extremely Partial...
I don't have any intensive opinions about this topic, but as far as I understand good scholarship, articles referring to the subject matter being studied referring to it with adjectives like "evil" tend to set themselves below the standards of impartiality and given the deluge of interest in this subject by the Anglophonic mass media, there are certainly sources that at least aren't so obviously biased as to make that bias evident in the source's title.

This is not to say biased sources, or seemingly biased sources, can't be sources that those of more detached and sober perspective cannot gain insight from, but given that this is a topic listed as contentious, someone involved in the account of this particular subject should probably find some alternatives that rub those seeking cursory knowledge about the topic as a little more impartial than "Evil Wagner Group..." This would be just as inappropriate as Western periodicals calling the Islamic State evil, as well as such being as potentially inhibitory to the understanding of those interested in the sort of overview and list of generally significantly better sources from which one can continue to research that Wikipedia typically provides even in these sorts of divisive and evolving contexts.

Again, I am not interested enough in the topic to spend the precious moments of my finite life finding sources that seem at a glance less glaringly biased, rhetorical and one-sided as those this article uses to cite its information that does seem more impartial than its sources (to be totally fair), but think it would serve the community best were someone with more expertise and interest to do so.

 * @ThomasLeonHighbaugh The impartiality of Wikipedia is in relaying information. Part of that is not editorializing headlines from news articles. FarHarBard (talk) 13:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The standard for sourcing on Wikipedia is reliability, not impartiality or lack of bias. Bias sources can certainly be reliable, and the view that Wagner (or ISIS for that matter) are "evil" is hardly a fringe opinion, it's the mainstream view worldwide. In any event, "I don't like what the source says" isn't a reason we modify sourcing on our articles, especially not when the complainant is unwilling to put in the legwork to improve the article themselves. Also FarHarBard, it's probably unnecessary to reply to a comment from over a year ago, to a user who has made zero article-space edits and less than 10 in total their whole career. ⇒   SWAT Jester   Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 16:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
