Talk:Office of Senator Mark Dayton v. Hanson

Multiple issues: Verifiability and citations

@JJPMaster: Thank you for looking at this article. I see you added the "multiple issues" template to the page with the following notes: needs additional citations for verification, has an unclear citation style. Can you elaborate on what is deficient about the sources and citation style? Wdougs (talk) 20:37, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Wdougs, the sources themselves were good, there just weren't enough of them (either that or I intended to add the "primary sources" template instead). As for the citation style, I accidentally added that one because I didn't understand what "Jones 2007" meant, but I later realized that it was a reference to a reference.

@JJPMaster: I think the "primary sources" template may be more appropriate for this article. I don't see an issue with verifiability, because I supported everything with citations to reliable sources.I think the problem may be that most of the sources are contemporaneous and summarize the topic, and might be considered primary. The article would benefit from more secondary sources that analyze the case. Your thoughts? Wdougs (talk) 21:10, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Wdougs, on second thought, I am pretty sure that I meant to tag the page for primary sources instead of lack of sources. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 21:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
