[edit] Forensic Examimer

On May 20, 2008, editor Hu12 (talk ยท contribs) removed again the reference for a quote in the article, noting "blacklisted." Is the journal Forensic Examiner blacklisted as a source? How does that happen? For now I will reword the quote and tag it with "{{fact}}" -Colfer2 (talk) 21:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup, its blacklisted. Would seem there are Reliable and Verifiable alternatives available.--Hu12 (talk) 22:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Not for that article. What happened, did they spam links onto Wikipedia? -Colfer2 (talk) 23:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes. They created multiple accounts for the sole or primary purpose of promoting their sites on wikipedia in violation of our Conflict of interest and anti-spam guidelines. --Hu12 (talk) 01:40, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
