Reference to www.dropshippingsucks.com
There has recently been a considerable amount of reverting back and forth between a reference to www.dropshippingsucks.com and (redacted spam link). The correct citation, i.e. that which supports the statement in the text to which the reference is attached, is to www.dropshippingsucks.com. The other one is a spam link which has nothing to do with the statement to which the reference is attached. It is likely that editors have been influenced by the use of "sucks" in a URL, giving the misleading impression of vandalism. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- It looks to me like they both fail WP:ELNO #5. "daemon" is trying to sell their drop shipping list, and "sucks" is doing exactly the same thing with a different angle on the sales pitch. I think if you really want to source this, you're going to have to find economics research or news sources that aren't associated with someone trying to say "But we're different, buy our stuff!".
- I also wonder if User:Nobrainz has some sort of interest in the "sucks" website, as it seems he has made no edits to Wikipedia other than adding that link to this article. If that is the case, he should certainly review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest before proceeding. Anomie⚔ 23:37, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Statement is incorrect, I made other edits to the drop shipping article, just no other articles as drop shipping is my area of expertise and I have no affiliation to the sites linked. I have removed the associated risk as the content of which was gathered from the page in question. Nobrainz (talk) 14:16, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
