Hi Fyrael

First off thank you for taking the time to welcome me. Being. We will have some growing pains.

The issue with a source cited is unverifiable to be true. I’ve gone back through the source cited which is linked to another blog. The audio link is unfound and at this point it is untrue.

How do I challenge this?

Is there a course I can take to help me better understand how to edit within wiki?

Thank you, Gonzalo Truethis (talk) 16:25, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * As far as learning how to edit on Wikipedia, I would direct you to the bulleted list of links in my previous message. Regarding Torres, there is no requirement to have an audio link in order to include a quotation. Content only has to be verified by reliable sources, and as far as I know we consider Snopes to be a reliable source. A quick google search shows the same quotation in many other places. Can I ask what leads you to believe that he never made this statement? Do you have a reliable source to contradict the others?&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 17:05, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

YWhat you have a sources are authors that are from extreme anti immigrant groups that have posted opinions and not facts. They create websites, state that someone has said something, that they haven’t, and now it’s a “reliable source”. Snopes is also doesn’t source where they’re getting this information from. It’s all frustrating and I’m begging to think that this is all a waste of my time, sadly. Truethis (talk) 17:34, 17 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm fairly certain that anti-immigrant groups did not create Snopes or The LA Times. What you're asking for is well beyond the scope of Wikipedia. We evaluate the quality of sources based on a history of accurate information and good editorial review. We would never require that every news article give detailed information about where every fact they're reporting came from. I'm not aware of any major publication that does such a thing, and we certainly don't have time for such a painstaking investigation into every sentence on millions of Wikipedia articles.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 06:29, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
