verification edit war 

The sources do verify the statements made by those sources (tautology I know) - the question is how to present them. We are currently using WP:WEASEL wording to present those views to a cohort of unknown size and importance. The VPC and that particular author have made those claims, that is who the claims should be attributed to. We should state those claims as their opinions, but we can mention some of the primary sources they are using to attempt to defend their position. both sides shiould stop edit warring on this issue and actually remember the D part of BRD
