Tautology

I just edited an article with the phrase "concluded with conclusions". As I filled in the edit summary, I wondered what the term for that type of 'dancing of words' is called. Its not an Oxymoron. But something like that. Buster Seven Talk 21:42, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Using FoxNews as a source

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources:

  • There is consensus that Fox News is generally reliable for news coverage on topics other than politics and science. See also: Fox News (politics and science), Fox News (talk shows).
  • Editors perceive Fox News to be biased or opinionated for politics; use in-text attribution for opinions. See also: Fox News (news excluding politics and science), Fox News (talk shows).
  • Fox News talk shows, including Hannity, Tucker Carlson Tonight, The Ingraham Angle, and Fox & Friends, should not be used for statements of fact but can sometimes be used for attributed opinions. See also: Fox News (news excluding politics and science), Fox News (politics and science).

Fair Witness

Fair Witness is a fictional profession invented for the novel Stranger in a Strange Land. A Fair Witness is an individual trained to observe events and report exactly what he or she sees and hears, making no extrapolations or assumptions. An eidetic memory is a prerequisite for the job, although this may be attainable with suitable training.

In Heinlein's society, a Fair Witness is a highly reputable source of information. By custom, a Fair Witness, acting professionally (generally wearing distinctive white robes), is never addressed directly and is never acknowledged by anyone present.

Fair Witnesses are prohibited from drawing conclusions about what they observe. As a demonstration, a characer in the novel is asked to describe the color of a house in the distance. Response:"It is white on this side" explaining no assumption can be made about the color of the other sides of the house without being able to see them. Furthermore, after observing another side of the house a Fair Witness would not then assume that any previously seen side was still the same color as last reported, even if only minutes before.

::*I nominate John from Idegon as Editor of the Week. He remarkably has made over 96,000 edits, steadily active since 2012 and averaging 35 edits per day. He is active as a new page reviewer and at the Wikipedia Teahouse]. He is a long serving member at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools and was a major participant at the creation of Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention. I often see him around Wikipedia, making helpful edits at school articles (with more experience on US school articles than probably any other WP editor) or reporting problems with new pages. I always get a chuckle out of his clever name - combining Idaho and Oregon. One of WP's most active editors (#617 on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits), John has had many years of high quality contributions, with varied interests and pursuits. His diplomatic ability has been honed on the talk pages of hundreds of articles, and in pursuit of creating a healthy workplace for fellow editors. I feel it is high time for him to be recognized for his outstanding contributions here. --MelanieN
