Talk:Dark Glass
"Many fans still complain about missing this possible gem." Who are "many fans"? With respect to the authors opinion, is this sort of information welcome on this wiki? It's biased information without citation. This question goes for all instances weasel words here. --Crockalley 15:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't know how it's even possible to cite "many fans still complain." How many google links do you want before "many" is justified? (And, well, if you want "still," you'd have to link to board posts, which are URLS that rarely last more than a few months, which seems useless to a wiki.) I didn't write the original text, but yes, Dark Glass is still brought up fairly regularly. I see absolutely nothing objectionable about the sentence. It even qualifies the episode as possibly being good, instead of declaring it outright. I am not sure how it is biased, or why it does not fit on the wiki.--ItsWalky 15:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- The issue at hand is: How absolutely factual should this Wiki be? Even assuming the statement about Dark Glass IS both true and inoffensive, it's still by nature unverifiable, as you pointed out. The only way an objective outside observer could fact-check it would be to spend a bunch of time on the boards and see how often the subject really comes up. And since "many" and "complain" are subjective terms, said observer would ultimately be making a judgement call him/herself. Personally, in this instance I don't really care one way or the other. But it's a valid question that could be quite relevant to genuinely controversial statements of the same vein. - Jackpot
