| So let me get this straight...if a source says that "Show A gets a daily viewing of one million people, and show B gets a daily viewing of 10 million people" it's my ''analysis'' to say that "show a gets one tenth the viewers of show B" because that's basically what I did. ] (]) 20:49, 30 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :P.S. Malik I understand your point and I do appreciate your clarification...but regarding the point above...I just don't see it. ] (]) 22:49, 30 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :You are the one person deciding to do that specific comparison. Why not compare Show A to Show C instead? Your favorite show absolutely CLOBBERED that rerun of some B movie run at 3 AM on some minor station. The show you don't like, how ever, was absolutely DESTROYED by game 7 of the World Series. Get it? - ] (]) 00:58, 31 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::No, to me your logic is still flawed, it's pertinent to compare Show A to Show B if the subarticle is discussing the feud between the two anchors. The fact that they run at the same time on competing networks shows that A & B can and SHOULD be compared. It was talking about the feud between O'Reilly and Olbermann, why is it right to leave out the show's ratings? Or at least put "O'Reilly factor scores an X at time Y and a Z at time A; Olbermann's show has a rating of ... @ time ... etc..." It's pertinent information. ] (]) 01:21, 31 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::Your argument is, essentially, if source A compares the two shows ANY source mentioning both shows is comparing both shows. This is ]. - ] (]) 01:59, 1 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::::No, my argument is that if a source states that "Show A has 10 million viewers a night, Show B has 1 million viewers a night" it is not my analysis to compare the two and say that Show A has ten times the number of viewers per night. ] (]) 15:27, 1 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::::There are millions of datapoints available: the daily, weekly, monthly, etc. ratings of every television show airing currently (or ever aired) for various areas and demographic groups. Unless you have a source that specifically and explicitly compares the two, it is your original idea to select those two shows for comparison based for whatever time period(s) and/or demographics. Why compare these two shows? Because ''you'' decided to. See also ]. - ] (]) 01:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC) | |||

- Actually, half of those are blogs or otherwise non-reliable sources.
- If you had used a single secondary source instead of a primary source, as I advised on the article's Talk, we wouldn't be having this conversation. So why don't you hone your reading skills a little? — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 00:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- All but two of the links you left on my Talk page were editorials, opinion columns, or blog posts. There were news articles from The Bulletin and Fox News. Feel free to write about Holder based on what the news articles say, not the primary sources and non-reliable sources. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 01:46, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message. I'm glad we were able to work together constructively. I apologize for the nastiness of my comments above. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 19:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
