Again, I know Verywell is not your best option when looking for a ref, but as a tertiary source, it can be cited as a summary of info. It can also be used to 'patch gaps': to confirm specific facts on a small subject which Verywell happens to have an article about. View count is everything for these sites, so they try to offer many articles on a wide variety of subjects. I do not believe Verywell should be blacklisted. - <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Manifestation|Manifestation]] <small>([[User talk:Manifestation|talk]])</small></span> 17:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |

:You are grossly misrepresenting [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spirulina_(dietary_supplement)&diff=919257101&oldid=919178092 what I], as well as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexander_Graham_Bell_Association_for_the_Deaf_and_Hard_of_Hearing&diff=925653417&oldid=925438208 Diannaa] did. Both were copyvio removals where we pasted the link into the edit summary. [[User:MER-C|MER-C]] 18:05, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |

: I am not clear on what mess I've walked in to here, but I remember clearly what I was trying to do with that link last February; it was the best information I could find explaining the difference between a resident and an intern, which I was looking for in terms of [[Georges Gilles de la Tourette]] as Charcot's <something> for [[Tourette syndrome]]. When I couldn't use that link, I had to go to a French-language source, and solved the problem that way. I have not read this whole discussion so do not know if this helps or not.

* I would be grateful if someone would whitelist the usage at [[Health care provider]] and remove that page from [[:Category:Pages with URL errors]], or cite a respected academic journal article written by a PhD that answers that complex technical question, LOL. I sympathize with Manifestation's point as I from personal experience, found the blacklisting/whitelisting process one of the most unpleasant areas of Wikipedia to work in. I feel that the handful of editors who own that part of the project just generally form a local consensus. I don't know much about the Verywell site, but it seems pretty harmless to me. – [[User:Wbm1058|wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 18:29, 14 May 2020 (UTC) |
