look a lenghty exchange of opinions can be a nice thing but since you two have now discussed the rough equivalent of pages this discussion is obviously stalled let me try to sum up what i think about this topic please be aware that wp att like any other wp policy isn t written in stone and saltyboatr's extremely literal interpretation of one sentence of this policy is most likely not what it was meant to say every article published in foreign affairs is reviewed by other scientists which is much more than you could say for any reliable newspaper or just about every university publication that should be enough to make sure wp att isn t a good reason to ban them i have to agree with ultramarine if you use your interpretation of wp att consequently there s only a handful of wp articles that would survive the necessary mass deletion of references what s more i think it would be some pretty bad ones those that rely entirely on newspaper articles finally there really is no good reason why articles that i could use in every political science paper and any scientific article shouldn t be enough for wikipedia
