re: your edit at Paleoconservatism
Hi! I'm just writing to let you know that I reverted your edit at Paleoconservatism, as the paragraph you removed was properly sourced. If you want to dispute the claim the sources make, you're welcome to bring it up on that page's talk page. Or, if you have another WP:RS that claims the opposite of the sources, you can add it to the article with a sentence or two explaining the opposite viewpoint.

I also moved up a citation from below that directly states that Tucker is a paleoconservative. As a rule, we typically do not allow claims that a person makes about themselves and their viewpoints. Instead, we rely on reputable secondary sources, who judge the person based on their actions, rather than their words. For example, if we had an article about a person who claimed to be a professional chef but never worked in a restaurant or even really cooked much, but instead was a highly prolific and famous author, and was described by reliable secondary sources as such, it wouldn't make sense to describe them as a chef.

Please let me know here or on my talk page if this makes sense or if you have any questions! 9yz (talk) 07:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The article regarding tucker actually stated tucker “would not describe himself that way (a paleo)”. It’s safe to assume a person as intelligent as Tucker would know his worldview. Additionally, the entire paleo entry relies entirely too much on the description of one personality, Pat Buchanan. Buchanan has been documented on both sides of Israel throughout his career. Due to the weight placed on Buchanan, the wiki article needs substantial editing. This source does a much better job than the wiki explanation of paleo.  https://calhouninstitute.com/paleoconservatism/ Tacdiver235 (talk) 08:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Regardless of the person, we do not report what they state about themselves. We report what reliable secondary sources state about them. The source says, "Though it’s probably not how he’d describe himself, the foremost paleo is Tucker Carlson...". The claim it is making is that Carlson is a paleoconservative.
 * As for the amount of Pat Buchanan in that article, you're welcome to edit it yourself or bring it up on the talk page so that someone else could make the change. I don't think removing the entire section is appropriate in this instance.
 * With regards to your source (the Calhoun Institute), based on the author bio on the most recent blog post on the page, it appears to be a self-published source, which are not considered reliable sources. If you can find a different site that meets WP:SOURCES, you're welcome to include it. 9yz (talk) 08:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh also if you disagree with me and decide to revert my edit, could you make a thread at Talk:Paleoconservatism so we can discuss it there? I'd just like it to be more accessible if other users decide to weigh in. 9yz (talk) 08:29, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
