Evolution News & Science Today

If anyone is interested, I added one of their articles today. There´s more, just... too many:[1]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:28, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note for the unwary (like me) – that's a link to one of the Discovery Institute's websites promoting intelligent design, despite the innocuous title. . . dave souza, talk 10:56, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if we can include all sources like this one? This is obviously not a typical newspaper. I guess that since this is not a mainspace article, maybe it's acceptable. To summarize the above, it's a creationist rant promoting a mob conspiracy theory and attacking particular editors, because they are unhappy that Wikipedia does not promote the ID movement... —PaleoNeonate20:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Question is, it it "press coverage"? These are self-published webpages with misleading names, part of the intelligent design movement promoting their cause, authored by lawyer David Klinghoffer. You've now given them an outlet, misrepresenting them as "the press", so expect more and more. Don't know if that's the purpose of these Wikipedia pages. . . dave souza, talk 10:56, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
