Talk:PragerU

Redirect?[change source]

I'm gonna say no on this one chief. This can be its own article, there's a lot of info on PragerU out there. --Derpdart56 (talk) 21:35, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you're right. So let's start the page. Want to go first? DougHill (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't reply, so I had a go at starting the page. I hope you'll contribute to it. DougHill (talk) 18:08, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recently deleted sources[change source]

Some sources were recently deleted, presumably on the grounds that they violated Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Sources_linked_to_the_subject. My understanding was, and still is after reading there, that such sources are not the best but are OK for non-contentious claims. Sometimes they can be the best source to quote what the subject herself said. So it would have been better to tag them with ^{[better source needed]}. I do understand that independent sources are preferred. So I'll look for some independent sources, but will restore some of these, that pass the 5 criteria, where independent sources are not available. DougHill (talk) 22:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuits[change source]

Shouldn't we cite BOTH PragerU and Google/youTube for their positions on their lawsuits? DougHill (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

# restricted videos[change source]

The article gives this number as 99, and previously cited [1]. But if we cannot cite that, we need another source for this number.DougHill (talk) 22:30, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PragerU does not claim to be a university.[change source]

They make this clear at [2]. This page needs to be about what PragerU is, not what it is not. And if you're going to say that they are not, we must make clear that they deny making such a claim. But since we must cite them to show this and we don't seem to be able to do that (see above), then let's just remove this claim, until we can figure out how to balance it. (But let's leave in the source.) DougHill (talk) 22:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary source added. --Gotanda (talk) 22:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The adjective literal is a useful and necessary addition. It does not obfuscate it clarifies. The page on RationalWiki doesn’t say that despite the implications of its name RationalWiki is highly opinionated because anyone who looks at their homepage knows that they do not make that claim and the page therefore doesn’t falsely imply that it does. PragerU despite its name has never claimed to be what Wiktionary would define as university and is extremely open about that fact. The adjective literal is essential because without it the page falsely implies that PragerU fraudulently presents itself as a university which is demonstrably not the case. I therefore will reinstate the adjective literal and I invite anyone who disagrees with this decision to offer an explanation in the Talk Page rather than labeling relevant changes as vandalism. Thank you. 198.200.115.29 (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hear, hear! It'd be even better to restore what PragerU itself says about this. DougHill (talk) 17:36, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[change source]

Someone edited YouTube Poop into the Sources. That should be removed 70.49.52.169 (talk) 01:23, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
