User talk:Timur9008/Archive 8

Re:Question
This is a tough one. My general rule of thumb these days is not to cite a source unless I have the full thing visible to me, to minimize the potential negative consequences of guessing like this. The date disparity is another sticking point for me, so I'm not sure I'd personally use this source.

From what I've been able to dig up, the text on the Wiki appears to be from a May 1995 press release on Bethesda's old site. Unfortunately, only the index page was archived, so we don't have the text body to confirm. I have no idea how the Wiki users were able to obtain the text—my best guesses are that it was mirrored on a '90s fansite or that some later version of Bethesda's official page archived it somewhere.

All this said, if The Free Library had access to that July 1995 press release, that means it's available in one of the other news archive services. If the goal is adding the information about Nesmith to the article, The Wikipedia Library should be able to help with that. So the information shouldn't be lost, even if we don't have the original May date available. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 18:57, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy with other things. I was only saying this because I've read that press release on the free library before it was hammered so to speak. Still i agree we shouldn't use that as a source. I'l check out the Wikipedia Library though. Timur9008 (talk) 11:00, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
