I made an account just to say this page needs work

Hello Wikipedia, normally your pages are easy to read. This one is very long and has no table of contents or way to easily navigate it. Sorry I can't help. HeretoCriticize (talk) 21:54, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The History section is missing the Cold War entirely...

...and should be expanded. JackTheSecond (talk) 23:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any ideas what should be added?--Jack Upland (talk) 23:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working on the German Service of the BBC for a while and got the impression that the BBC was broadcasting much more reliable news segments than really anyone else. By my impression, Radio propaganda seems to have been a major facet of the Cold War and the truthfulness of the various broadcasts seems to have varied by a lot.

But maybe general propaganda is outside the scope of this article. I don't really know. JackTheSecond (talk) 11:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would say it is, its why we have a whole article on it. Slatersteven (talk) 12:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's more the amount of additional information that covering the Cold War as well that'd be a problem, probably. Though, because of how the definition at the top does include 'propaganda', maybe we can add a section and include a link to the relevant articles. JackTheSecond (talk) 12:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Fake News" as a thing hardly existed before 2017. There was a proposal in 2005 to delete Fake_News since "propaganda" said it all. IMO, most of the old anecdotes (history, propaganda) should be reduced to pointers to the incidents or general articles. This article should distinguish the SEVERAL usages that have emerged since November, 2016. RichardFloyd (talk) 04:18, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"the House of Commons commenced an inquiry"

... and then what? Did anything come of it? What's the point of mentioning it? WP:NOTNEWS. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:56C:3F16:53EF:5265 (talk) 00:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The quoted section is not in the article. Neither are similar statements. JackTheSecond (talk) 12:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marc Bloch

As you probably know, fake news was a topic this historian dealt with while he was in the trenches in the World War: as a historian he considered that it was not enough for his profession to dismiss them as "okay they are not true, so we are not interested in them," but that they themselves should be the subject of study. Perhaps this item could be related to "fake news" topic ? 151.49.40.45 (talk) 20:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here, fake news is mostly defined as fabricated content that intends to manipulate or shape opinions. The studies use a binary operationalization of fake news (either true or false) based on the mere availability of facts. The authors demonstrate that this definition may be too narrow and that the perception of information as fake news is also influenced by the use of a manipulating argumentation technique. They study in particular fallacies, a commonly employed subset of deceptive rhetorical devices. A major challenge here is that not every fallacy is equally detectable [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0960085X.2022.2110000 (Beisecker, Schlereth, & Hein, 2023)]."

-It should be inserted directly following this section of the article: "Media scholar Nolan Higdon has defined fake news as "false or misleading content presented as news and communicated in formats spanning spoken, written, printed, electronic, and digital communication. Higdon has argued that the definition of fake news has been applied too narrowly to select mediums and political ideologies. Fake news also refers to stories that are fabricated that obtain little to no verifiable facts. Even more broadly, some people, most notably former United States President Donald Trump, have broadened the meaning of "fake news" to include all news that was negative about their personal beliefs and actions."

-::::: {{reply|Sven Beisecker|Actualcpscm}} After reading some of the publication (mostly the Discussion and Conclusions section, pages 37-40), I see that your research was more about identifying when people ''perceive'' something as fake news. The paper starts with its own definition of fake news, which is then researched. And per the diagram (Fig 1, page 16) it looks like you were focused on a small subset of all fake news -- that subset which intersects with fallacies and rhetorical devices. Also, the study was based on an online survey of less than 500 German participants only. For these reasons, I think the study is of limited use as a citation under the section "Defining fake news" because it is a self-definition of 'fake news' rather than a researched or broadly-used form of 'fake news'.

-:::::::Dear @[[User:Actualcpscm|Actualcpscm]],
-:::::::unfortunately, I do not understand your conclusion here. As I have written in my initial request, the article is already accepted for publication and has been published online in the European Journal of Information Systems, one of the most reputable journals in this discipline (please consult official VHB and ERIM rankings). That means it has undergone a rigorous review process, which is fully completed at this point, unlike what your comment insinuates. It is common practice that an article appears online first and thereafter in the printed version. I therefore strongly ask you to reconsider and not close the request.
-:::::::As to @[[User:Grorp|Grorp]]'s concerns, I would like to point out that extant definitions of fake news are also derived from people's perceptions. The referred-to Fig 1 is illustrative in nature, as discussed in the paper, and does not convey the actual percentage overlap between fake news and fallacies. Fallacies do play a bigger role, as there are over 200 different fallacies documented. [[User:Sven Beisecker|Sven Beisecker]] ([[User talk:Sven Beisecker|talk]]) 10:19, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
-::::::::{{partly done|Partly done:}}<!-- Template:ESp -->
-::::::::I'm sorry, I must have confused this with something else I was working on. It is correct that it was published, and I apologise for the mistake. However, a key point continues to stand: This is a [[Wikipedia: Fringe theory]]. The abstract itself mentions this indirectly: "So far, fake news has been mostly associated with fabricated content that intends to manipulate or shape opinions", a perception that the authors explicitly set out to change. I will add a mention of this research, but your original proposal is a bit too long ([[Wikipedia: Undue weight]]) and technical. The weight given to this research in the article should reflect its place in the academic field, and it does not seem to have received much attention (yet). Sorry again for the confusion, I messed that up!
-::::::::(On an informal side note, I personally think that this is a really interesting perspective on the issue of fake news; the psychology of why and how false or misleading information spreads so rapidly is certainly a relevant field of research that can make for great additions to this article, when properly sourced.)

-News is defined as „newly received information“. (New) information is verified by the recipient as to whether it is true (fact) or false, not whether it is fake. A person who knowingly spreads untruths is a liar.

-::„Horse“ and „seahorse“ refer to distinct entities (animals). „Fake“ is an adjective preceding a noun with a fixed use/ definition. Compounding with other random and nonsensical adjectives - e.g. „blue news“ - surely would not merit a re-defining entry in a dictionary either.

-::::My suggestion would be make „fake news“ redirect to „disinformation“, as this is strongly implied in the current Wikipedia article. I do not agree it is „spread […] as a joke“ as the current definition implies. What is spread as a joke is a joke.

-to add at legal and criminal sanctions
-In the Italian legal doctrine it has been stated that Fake News constitute on the one hand a form of abuse of the right of expression and on the other an infringement of the right to be informed which has as its corollary the right to objectivity and the impartiality of the data provided, both to their completeness, correctness and continuity. In this sense, Fake News could constitute (in the event that all the elements envisaged pursuant to article 2043 of the Civil Code exist) a civil offence.[[User:Dimitri De Rada|Dimitri De Rada]] ([[User talk:Dimitri De Rada|talk]]) 17:45, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Dimitri De Rada, “Fake News”: tra diritto soggettivo ad essere informati e ricerca di una regolamentazione", Giustizia Civile, 5-2021, https://giustiziacivile.com/soggetti-e-nuove-tecnologie/approfondimenti/fake-news-tra-diritto-soggettivo-ad-essere-informati-e

-== Lies lies and more lies from Jew owned wikipedia. ==
-You biased Jewish liars said:
-"The term has at times been used to cast doubt upon credible news, and former U.S. president Donald Trump has been credited with popularizing the term by using it to describe any negative press coverage of himself."
-That's a lie to deflect and minimize the real truth. The real truth - is that everything that Trump ever called fake news turned out to be "lies and fake news", which had nothing to do with himself.
-This article is supposed to be based on facts, not your satanic biased Jewish Talmud reading opinions. [[Special:Contributions/98.160.179.147|98.160.179.147]] ([[User talk:98.160.179.147|talk]]) 12:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
