Talk:Night Girl

Mmm as the person who started this article years ago (I had a log in long since forgotten). This thing that's been added saying this article has issues? And it turns out these issues are that it relies too much on primary sources? WTF? And then it says not enough citations? The primary sources (being my own extensive comics knowledge, which are easily confirmed by others reading the same comic books) *are* the citations! And somehow they aren't good enough?

You can't have citations of primary sources because they are supposedly at risk of 'novel interpretation'. Well who's to say the secondary or tertiary sources aren't subject to the same? This you can't use primary sources thing is absolutely moronic. Who the hell dreamed that up? That idea wasn't around back when I was active on wikipedia.

If we had gone with this idea then no one would ever have written down any history or science in antiquity. Sorry you Greek philosophy guys! You're the first to write this so it's a primary source and they aren't allowed donchaknow?

The primary source is the comic books themselves....in an article about a comic book character. And as I say anyone who wants to confirm the source? Read the books yourselves. I didn't pull all this out of my backside.

No primary sources. That's just bizarre. It's about knowledge, and if that knowledge is cited as the references in this article are (with the original comics) what's the problem? Why does it need to have passed down through more than one person? The original source is enough.

Wikipedia is full of too many anal people with too much damn time on their hands who are going on a psuedo-academic power trip all the time. That's a large reason why I don't edit anymore.

 * More relevantly, in many cases there are no secondary or tertiary sources, especially for more recent media or for lesser-known media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.180.186 (talk) 06:02, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
