::The issue is the purpose of WikiIndex. Is it a place to post [[original research]] on user identities? That opens a huge can of worms, if so. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 18:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

:::I don't know how binding [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex%3AFrequentlyAskedQuestions&diff=76974&oldid=76966 this] is, but it's been on that page for awhile. Why does [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] ban [[original research]] and prefer tertiary to primary and secondary sources? I don't know, but in some cases it has dumb results, e.g. when they're writing articles about stuff that happened on Wikipedia and people object to their citing diffs. A [[diff]] is a pretty reliable source, in my view, and diffs are pretty much the sources that will be cited when we're talking about what people in the [[wikisphere]] have said and done. It's not like anyone cared enough to write a mainstream news article about 99% of the stuff that goes on in the wikisphere.

:::Why not follow the same practices as [[RationalWikiWiki]] (aside from the dumb stuff they did, like kick people off for no reason)? They could write a several-page long article about someone using mostly diffs for the references. Granted, they did a lot of editorializing too, which we should avoid here. The Research Psychologist article had no editorializing; only cited facts. [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 04:39, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
