Talk:Gamblers Anonymous
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Notability
There are reliable sources discussing Gamblers Anonymous. See [1], [2]. As such, I'm removing the notability template. — Craigtalbert 09:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Response to Removal of Notability Template
While I agree that reliable sources have been added, there are still several citations needed, including:
- The fact that GA started on September 13, 1957 in Los Angeles.
- The fact that GA members or compulsive gamblers are more likely to have psychological disorders, stress, or higher rates or suicide as referred to in the lead paragraph.
- The fact that GA is a predominantly male fellowship and that the number of women is increasing.
As such, I am adding a refimprove tag and including where I think citations are needed. — Csuhman 04:31, 5 Dec 2007
- You'll notice that there are citations following sets of sentences. This is in keeping with the guidelines in WP:CITE and eliminates unnecessary redundancy. For instance, the first three sentences in the article are supported by the first source, whereas the next four sentences are supported by second source. It's true that we could be excessively pedantic and cite the first footnote and the end of each of the first three sentences, and the second footnote at the end of each of the next four sentences. But that clutters up the article and hurts it's readability. I will be happy to send you the PDFs of any of the articles if you think I'm BSing you. -- Craigtalbert (talk) 10:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
