Hypertime

(
)
  • ... that Hypertime is a fictional concept of alternate timelines that branch off from the DC Universe? Source: here and there
    • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

5x expanded by 7&6=thirteen (talk), Theroadislong (talk), and Hackwrench (talk). Nominated by 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:21, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

  • The page is littered with "unreliable source" tags. Yoninah (talk) 14:03, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Reply They don't like two of the books, which they opine are "self published." They are books, and they are the best sources available on the subject. And there are several of them, which corroborate the facts cited. This is the nature of this subject. Indeed, some of the books themselves use and expressly cite to website material, which is deemed to be authoritative on the subject. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

  • So what do you suggest doing about the tags? Yoninah (talk) 18:07, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
We can ignore this and recognize that this is correct information. Or we can purge the cited material and the citations. Other than that, I have no plan. And we will then probably need a new hook. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
I removed [1][2][unreliable source][3][unreliable source] IMO, this does not improve the article, but this is a setback that is not worth the fight. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:39, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
  • I also removed Hickey from the Bibliography, and commented out a note that was tagged as an unreliable source. What's left looks fine. Here is a review: 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:45, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
