Talk:Ichimatsu Tanaka#Selected works

Tanakasthename is uncomfortable with one sentence. The disputed sentence and its accompanying citation were deleted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ichimatsu_Tanaka&diff=next&oldid=406939119 here] and restored [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ichimatsu_Tanaka&diff=407014279&oldid=407010583 here]:

:Ichimatsu's published writings encompass 228 works in 326 publications in 6 languages and 2,797 library holdings.<:ref>[http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/identities/default.htm WorldCat Identities]: [http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/lccn-n81-15694 Tanaka, Ichimatsu 1895-1983]

IMO, Tanakasthename's complaint is addressed by the first paragraph at WP:V which explains:

:The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth; that is, whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.

IMO, the summary information about Ichimatsu's published works is justified by wiki-policy. One or more details may need to be "tweaked" as a result of further research, but the summary data are arguably good and sufficient as a first step in a constructive direction -- compare Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#Selected works.

I wonder what others think about this? --Tenmei (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

:WP:V also includes, however, several sentences later:

::This policy requires that all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed to a reliable, published source in the form of an inline citation, and that the source directly support the material in question.

:If a source is being cited for material that is not at all supported by that source (i.e., because it is not being used/understood properly), then I see no benefit of this data being included in its current form. Tanakasthename (talk) 15:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
