Butyrate fermentation

I'm not sure what happened, but it looks like something went wrong when you moved Butyrate fermentation for @Eyele4054 -- it looks like the actual page got deleted somehow and now there are just the redirects. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the situation, which is entirely possible! :Jay8g 06:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Oops! I'll try to fix that. EdJohnston (talk) 16:51, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Done, I think. Thanks for your note. EdJohnston (talk) 17:06, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Is this an adequate source?

Greetings EdJohnston,

Recently I was engaged in a discussion with an editor over their use of Youtube videos as media sources within the Machiavelli article, see here. While there is no current dispute and we were able to discuss this amicably, I am still quite unsure about whether or not this is correct seeing Misplaced Pages's stance on self published sources and on Youtube as a source.

The content in question

the original video


I would greatly appreciate your insight on the matter. Plasticwonder (talk) 02:17, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

The policy that applies is surely WP:RSPYT. I would be more concerned about the value of the citation to the article on Niccolo Machiavelli, since we are not the Latin Misplaced Pages. Someone reading aloud a letter in Latin to our English-speaking readers won't improve the understanding of the subject by most people. EdJohnston (talk) 02:50, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
