Sourcing
regarding your reversion of. His summary seemed clear, at least worthy of asking the other good-faith editor about. Here's are some more details. Vents is a simple paid placement blog/platform. Prior discussions are here: 2016, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_398#Are_Daily_Magzines,_The_American_Mail,_and_Vents_Magazine_reliable? 2023] and 2023 again. Each evaluation was clearly that it is not reliable. This site is almost exclusively paid placement, press releases and spam, there are hundreds of ads on the usual sites for blackhat and unmarked placement, and there is absolutely no indication of competent editorial control or disclosure of advertorials.

The links you added are pretty typical of the problem: they're just unmarked PR feeds. The first link is a simple cut and paste of a promotional same-day press release from the group's PR firm without any credit by the "Head Honcho" that writes the blog. The second link you added is exactly the same; you seem to be attributing words to a blogger that just stole a PR feed. I've removed the links again - if you feel the original press releases suffice for factual sourcing, then use those, but mis-attributing promotional statements does not seem to be appropriate.

 * Vents is pretty much a paid advertising platform at this point although at one time it may have been reliable. I believe there were over 400 of the links removed from Wikipedia. For the ones I took part in removing, I attempted to find acceptable replacement sources so the removal of the content on this page with a CN tag is because I was unable to locate a replacement. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Apologies - I did not realise this was the case. I had searched very quickly and hadn't realised it has been flagged as problematic. >> Lil-unique1  (  talk  ) — 21:23, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
