Bans should be on the merit of the individual fact. This seems like an entire publication has been judged as "being incapable of being a source", which is a hell of a castigation, and speaks to the bias in the Wikipedia editor community.
- dagw 8y agoI guess it's all down to if you care more about type 1 errors or type 2 errors. If the only source for a fact is a site known for factual errors then it might be reasonable to reject that fact until more evidence presents itself. Personally I think Wikipedia should be more strict in general with what sources they allow, and require more independent sources before updating anything 'news' related, even if that means being a few days out of date at times.
