In several places people who seldom participate actively at this talk page vote "no" to title change suggestions with this as their seemingly sole motivation. I recently took the time to clarify this using [[WP:RS]] and came up with two that I think we can rely on enough for talk page purposes. One is to CNN coverage of "climategate", where they describe this as a controversy, and the other one is to a BBC World Nobel Prize winner panel where they spend a large amount of their total time with the subject of how this controversy affects the scientific community. When the fallout from the incident this article is about is brought up with the top scientists of the world I think we can safely say that this is beyond "a few bloggers". We should thus clarify this in the FAQ in the hope of making it easier to achieve consensus onwards. My suggested FAQ text below (adding the two sources I think are appropriate, I know other editors have more): | | | + | | | | + | * Q11: Why the repeated calls for describing this incident and its subsequent fallout as a "controversy"? | | | + | | | | + | * A11: While the leak of Climatic Research Unit e-mails and other documents can be described as an incident, the issue of what they mean for the scientific community is referred to as a controversy by reliable sources such as the [http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0912/07/ec.01.html CNN in a panel on the subject] as well as the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-zDyvFReY BBC World in a panel together with the Nobel Prize winners of 2009]. | | | + | | | | + | Comments welcome.

Do you mean have not been checked, or have not been used? While I agree that they should be checked, I don't believe that they have to be used simply because they are, say, Q and Mojo - ie, if they don't add anything that is not already there, then why use them? | | | + | | | | + | Looking at those two specifically, I've found the following through Rock Back Pages and I've offered some comments: | | | + | | | | + | ;Q | | | + | *[http://www.rocksbackpages.com/article.html?ArticleID=10465] ''U2:Achtung Baby'' by Mat Snow - this is review - and reviews are a dime a dozen, covering very similar ground mostly already included in the article - a journalist's opinion of the music. Sure, he discusses Achtung baby's break with the past, the album cover, etc, but that is already in the the wikipedia article. To me, passages such as the following, don't strike me as that useable for an encyclopedia, or are you suggesting otherwise: | | | + | :''U2 get their payload of blues airborne with music of drama, depth, intensity and, believe it, funkiness. The Edge's guitar is more than ever a superbly flighted aerial sprite of gleaming, streamlined rhythm play and a stylistic range that draws as much from the wah-wah psychedelicists of the Hendrix school as the industrial-strength calculated savagery of a cheesed-off Robert Fripp. Messrs Mullen and Clayton, meanwhile, have clearly clocked that Funky Drummer rhythm as appropriated by The Stone Roses and their disciples, and the dub-deep sound thus recorded is so subterranean it will give your speakers stretch-marks.'' | | | + | | | | + | *[http://www.rocksbackpages.com/article.html?ArticleID=4292] ''U2: A Perspective'' Mark Cooper, Q, 1991.

Andy Gill, Mojo, May 2001. Minimal on Achtung Baby which i have now included although it's probably a bit trivial. | | | + | | | | + | There are a number of other articles provided with a search on "Achtung Baby" (24 in total) although a number are of marginal relevance and, once again, most seem to cover either info already in the article, or opinion that I find hard to use in the album. | | | + | | | | + | Could you please review your comment, and let me know if you believe that there is anything in these items above that is pertinent to the WP article? Particularly with regards to the opinion in review such as the sample i posted above. Or, perhaps you could be more specific about which sources you are referring to and what it is in them that should be in the AB article. Note - I've actually placed an order for the 33 1/3 book and should have it in a few weeks. I hope it's helpful! | | | + | | | | + | On a related side note, I have a copy of [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/26268220 Brian Eno's Rolling Stone article on AB] - a great read, but once again I find it hard to use (apart from using the great "buzzwords" quote in a quote box).
