thread_title:  False traffic reports  

message: This section had a bunch of content that was relevant to a public figure who is a media/social commentator on legal issues. It was deleted by an admin for poor citation because I used Podcast/Video or it was poorly sourced. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joe_Brown_(judge)&oldid=1099837646#cite_note-32
I read the rules for video and youtube and think I was following those usage rules. The reason I needed to use those clips and tweets is that they were said by Joe Brown in discussions where he was asked his opinion. There is no question that he said them and many podcasts spent time marketing his appearance on those shows. 
I have proposed some fixes for the citations in each area:
: For the section on Voter Fraud Lawsuit in 2014.There are 2 links, 1 is a legit source the commercial appeal, but I see what the problem is, it requires you to answer a question before viewing the article (which it did not require of me). However, courthousenews.com and its own wikipedia page; it has staff editors and writers, so I will leave that reference in and will add this reference: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/106304521/

: For the section on Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill -
: Both NewsOne and TheRoot are known Black Media sources. TheRoot was founded by historian,Henry Louis Gates. I can remove the video, but the article sources should be kept. He said some of the same things to a local news station? Fine, I'll cite it along with this one: https://wreg.com/news/judge-joe-brown-stirs-controversy-with-comments-about-harriet-tubman-on-20-bill/ Is the news station more reliable than Black media sources?

: Bill Cosby section
: TheGrio is owned by MSNBC, so that should be a clean source. Black News Tonight was on the Black News Channel (which is an American TV channel) before Professor Hill became a host on the parent MSNBC channel. The deposition is also legit since it comes from a reputable news source, the LA Times. The tweets came directly from the Judges account and links to them. Please explain why this is a problem. Everything else stands and he actually said it. The video is there so that people can verify it instead of taking my word for it. He considers the women Cosby raped "groupies" and I am not sure why it's defamatory to him that some people would find those sentiments problematic.

: Support of Heterophobia
: These are direct quotes that don't require interpretation and were written by JudgeJoeBrown or his team. Why shouldn't these be used?

: I am removing the things he said about Kamala Harris, but he still said it. He's said it multiple times, across several different Black podcasts.

: Alex Jones Interview Jun. 24, 2022
: -What's not in question is whether Judge Joe Brown appeared on Alex Jones' show on June 24, 2022. He did. But I can't link to Alex Jones' show because it would be linking to misinformation & propaganda which researchers suggest not doing, so I chose another show and only used those specific clips. But if you were to go to inforwars.com (which wikipedia bans linking to and is why I used a secondary source, Knowledge Fight - a podcast which tracks Alex Jones), The video is entitled, "Judge Joe Brown Puts The Smackdown On American Entitlement – Exclusive Interview". There are no edits to the clips.
: I think it is very relevant that a person holding these ideas and is giving his legal opinions on shows has actually ruled over the communities he is denigrating. How can it be libel when it's actually what he believes, says, and continues to repeat?
: I'm using self-published sources which follow the self-published sourcing guidelines. 
: Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the self-published source requirement that they are published experts in the field, so long as:
:# the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;
:# it does not involve claims about third parties;
:# it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source;
:# there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and
:# the article is not based primarily on such sources.
This is for any admins including @Sdrqaz. I am not trying to get into an edit war. I am simply trying to write about Joe Brown's opinions.  Itsaboutheritage (talk) 22:47, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
