sourcing

[edit]

Sourcing Can anyone explain the following line:

Martin Clarke, editor of MailOnline, said, "We will soon be introducing features that will allow us to link easily and prominently to other sites when further recognition of source material is needed."[53] However, by July 2013, MailOnline articles, including main articles, still did not contain any links to original sources or tips.[54]

Sinmaz, Emine (24 July 2013). "MailOnline article showing no links". MailOnline. Retrieved 25 July 2013.

The article cited - about an orca/ killer whale - does not have any links. What links should it show? Unless anybody can explain, it looks like the Mail has bought some photographs from a photographer and used them in a story. Is there any evidence that the pictures have featured elsewhere? Certainly the pictures do not appear to have been used anywhere else. This article, on that basis, would be the original source, so there is no need for it to link to anywhere else. So this does not illustrate the point at all, and I suggest it should be removed. Perhaps there are other illustrations of the phenomenon, but this one does not work.Booklung (talk) 15:49, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The bullet points should be moved to before the types on the 'Types' section at the beginning of the article

[edit]

In my opinion, the bullet points should be moved to before the types on the 'Types' section at the beginning of the article as in my opinion it would make the article look more professional. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 09:12, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
