If you re familiar with all these points then it s unclear why you keep insisting that it should go in the lead and not simply in a very small portion i e one short sentence in the body of the text as attributed see WP ATT to the author If these 2 academics let s put aside the journalist s op ed for a moment don t actually say Gaijin has a racial aspect why would you want it in the lead in the first place Original synthesis says that someone takes fact A combines it fact B and then produce C It s still unclear to me what you have described isn t fringe original synthesis As for Endroit s suggestion above that we invoke attribution and all the work that attribution entails I m beginning to think that this is the only way to resolve this issue in a responsible manner I ve put it off until now because it is a God awful amount of work for one person and Slp1 was kind enough to get us half way there but it s still missing major portions of the cited materials from reputable sources Best
