Reliability of Tweets[edit]
I don't see that tweets can't be used a source. There's no blanket rule that Twitter is unreliable. If a major news outlet is tweeting something, it doesn't make it unreliable. Nfitz (talk) 02:45, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Per WP:Twitter only certain tweets should be considered reliable. WP:TWITTER states "Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves". GoPurple'nGold24 07:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed. Presumably tweets coming from major news organizations, that are 100% verifiable with other sources are reliable. Nfitz (talk) 11:09, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Look if there is already two reliable sources backing up the attendance then why should there be a questionable one there. If I wouldn't of removed it most likely somebody else would of. GoPurple'nGold24 04:09, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- I don't buy that there is a questionable one. It's accurate, and from a major media outlet. Nfitz (talk) 00:10, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Like I said if I didn't question it then someone else would of and I repeat why add a social media source if there are other reliable sources listed. There is honestly no need for some unverified twitter account used as a source. Also the sources you listed that show the attendance, one of them was written before the game even happened and the other only says there was 61,000 not 61,004.

- Announced attendance is typically paid attendance. As game was 100% sold out very quickly, it's easy to establish paid attendance before game time. Sure, I don't see any point adding redundant twitter references after there were other references - but this is not what happened here. Also, I don't think there is any question about the veracity of the twitter account. Nfitz (talk) 00:59, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
- Your logic violates WP:CRYSTALBALL, you cannot assume anything. Until it's announced it should be added not before just because people are speculating it. GoPurple'nGold24 04:46, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
