:Nope, I was a lurker. Is there a reason for the question? I've already been through an SPI and cleared by checkuser, but based on the history in the CC area, I'm a little suspicious of your question.

Nature

With regards to [1]: Nature is a (perhaps even "the") leading scientific journal, and every scientist would say the same. Nature has the highest PageRank+ISI Impact Factor number out of any scientific journal, just barely beating out Science. (Attention: This template ({{cite doi}}) is deprecated. To cite the publication identified by doi:10.1007/s11192-006-0176-z, please use {{cite journal}} (if it was published in a bona fide academic journal, otherwise {{cite report}} with |doi=10.1007/s11192-006-0176-z instead.)

'Tis a bit silly to dispute the fact that Nature is a "leading" science journal. It falls under the category of things that could be sourced, but really shouldn't have to be thanks to common sense. On the other hand, since Nature is widely recognized as a leading science journal, perhaps the adjective is unnecessary and redundant in the first place...

My main issue is with calling a brand new editor a Scibaby sock on their first edit, after the ArbCom PD came out. Absolutely no change in behavior. I don't have an issue with Nature - I attempted to use it to source some info on WMC, but was told by an admim that it was not a reliable source, even though the same cite was used on the Wikipedia article. BTW, it is unnecessary and redundant to label it as leading, but I'm not so concerned as to edit-war over it. GregJackP Boomer! 21:16, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Partisan sources

I have proposed an edit for the mainspace of an important Wikipedia policy, the Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources policy. Essentially, I believe that some sources are so partisan that using them as "reliable sources" invites more problems than they're really worth. You've previously participated in the RfC on this subject, or another related discussion indicating that you are interested in this important policy area. Please indicate here whether you support or oppose the proposed edit. The original discussion is here. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 13:25, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
