adding "tabloids"
[edit]I note that some editors think that the "examples" should include every tabloid disfavoured by any editor. I demur, and suggest any additions be discussed first. This article is specifically about unreliable or false reportage done in a sensationalist manner. Collect (talk) 12:52, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

When did the term get a negative connotation?
[edit]It would be nice for this article to indicate when the term "tabloid" got a negative connotation. I've only ever thought of it as negative, but didn't know until today that it also referred to the paper size & format. My visit here was prompted by having heard an advertisement, on a radio re-broadcast of the 1974 Darlington Southern 500, and advertisement for a racing-related newspaper which referred to itself, clearly without any negative meaning, as a tabloid.

- Here a source that may be of help when discussing when the word "tabloid" received its' negative connotation.

- This would also be good to tie it back into the sentence on the Wiki about celebrities suing tabloids for libel. Pxm230032 (talk) 15:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Call for citations.
[edit]There is one reference for one bit of info in this article.thos ta come from? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 06:34, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
@Wordreader — This article is shocking. There is exactly one source, and the source damns to hell The Sun, the Daily Star, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Record and the Daily Sport, which are all major British media, with paid circulation in the millions. There are no sources for anything else. So what happened to those WP policies that require that everything be backed by WP:RS? And with regard to the cited media, extraordinary claims require extraordinary sourcing... and here there is all of one source? A rubbish article, if I ever saw one.

Wikipedia needs to watch out
[edit]An "article" like this crap needs to be deleted as soon as possible; there is no provable notability and it violates Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy, being as it is, an entirely personal point of view. My own view is that anybody who supports the views of (Redacted) User talk:Will Beback, (Redacted), should also be long gone. Jodosma (talk) 23:39, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Tabloid journalism truth
[edit]If I'm understanding thing correctly, the main thing is don't use tabloids as a reference..
So, what does an editor do when something true is reported on in tabloids and verified, but because the subject is not a popular thing it's not reported anywhere that's trusted? You can't add the reference to the article because it's deemed not reliable or okay by Wikipedia's rules, you also can't add a "primary source" that verifies it either (second paragraph). Information that is true and important to a person that seems to only be reported on by tabloids or through primary sources but other possible sources don't report on it, do you just leave it out? 'Cause that's where I'm confused with Wikipedia. That's basically limiting where you can and should get your sources from, as long as it can be directly verified within that article I don't understand the issue...?
Also, Wikipedia has this rule where you can't use a direct primary source (for example a social media reference on a living persons biography page), but you can use an article that talks about and links to that direct primary source, why does an article need to talk about it for it to be deemed reliable, the only reason that article is being used is because it has the primary source in it? I like Wikipedia but this is where I favour FANDOM (Wikia) due to the freedom to use any verifiable information.
