Need for more and better sources
[edit]The current subsections in Activity are relying mostly on primary sources, and we need either to add more secondary sources to back up the info there or remove some of the claims that don't seem to be backed up by any source. WP:USEPRIMARY Yoctera (talk) 08:14, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Note for caution: different actors at the Soanes Centre
[edit]The current version of the article [1] mentions Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetary Park, Setpoint London East, and Kin Structures and Kin Studios. These different actors seem indeed linked to the Soanes Centre, but potentially with conflicting interests. The last edit made by User:DirigibleRibble indeed seems to be problematic in different ways:
- it reads as promotion of the Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetary Park, while directly copying text from the organisation's website (violating WP:Copy-paste), and failing to provide additional source to back up the activities carried out at the park.
- it makes several claims as to the nature of Kin Structures' activity at the Soanes Centre that appear opinionated (claims that Kin Structures is 'occupying space', running 'small arts sessions', and engaging a community that is not local), without any source WP:UNSOURCED
- it focuses on the organisations themselves (having them as subsection titles) rather than their activities with relations to the community centre, departing from the very purpose of the Activity section.
- it was the sole edit from that user whose account seems to have been created specifically for the occasion [2]
Instead of focusing on the organisations, I suggest we put the focus on the activities they are carrying out at the centre, at least in the Activity section. And in any case, we need to rely on external sources (see the the related discussion point Need for more and better sources).
For now, I will revert the last edit for all the reasons stated above, simplify the Activity section to what is relevant to it and backed up by external sources, and move the organisations' websites to the 'External sources' section instead of primary sources in the text.
