~~== Berlet editing ==~~

Chip Berlet should completely stay away from this article, or others mentioning him or his work, their talk pages and refrain from trying to add or remove any material pro, con, true, false or whatever either directly or indirectly on any of those pages.

It should be a wiki rule that no author can edit, comment or try to influence any article, or its talk pages, in any way that mentions them or their work. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.248.7.243|96.248.7.243]] ([[User talk:96.248.7.243|talk]]) 23:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

~~== Category:American anti-fascists ==~~

I undid revision 553683108 by [[Special:Contributions/Obiwankenobi|Obiwankenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]). If someone were to include in the article that "Berlet is a noted anti-fascist," people would expect to see a source cited. I don't see why placing him in "Category:American anti-fascists" should be any less verifiable. To simply read his bio, decide that he seems to be anti-fascist, and place him in the category without citing a source would seem to be a variety of Original Research. [[User:Joe Bodacious|Joe Bodacious]] ([[User talk:Joe Bodacious|talk]]) 11:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

:Hi Joe - actually I didn't stick him in an anti-fascist category, I just moved him to a country-specific version of same - someone else put him in that cat in 2011.

In 1987, when Berlet moved with his organization to Boston from Chicago, the Chicago Area Friends of Albania gave him a special sendoff, noting that, "Chip was one of our founding members, and a steadfast friend of Albania through thick and thin." — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:55 Gators|55 Gators]] ([[User talk:55 Gators|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/55 Gators|contribs]]) 15:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

::evidence that the National Lawyers Guild "supported every twist and turn in Soviet foreign policy, including the invasions of Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan"? There isn't any, because they didn't.

:This is synthesis. The source does not say that Berlet was doing anything extremist. It says he was a member of a group, then it says that the group was doing certain things. Which does not mean that Berlet was doing those things. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 15:59, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

::::::::::Those warnings are just Binksternet being Binksternet.

:::the description of the National Lawyers Guild and Berlet's connection with it is entirely scurrilous, repeating shopworn lies first circulated by Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover, whom the NLG opposed. While the NLG certainly defended victims of McCarthyism, including communists, to say that it is or was an arm of the Soviet government is false. Moreover, the assertion that they supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia is pure fabrication. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/172.243.148.28|172.243.148.28]] ([[User talk:172.243.148.28|talk]]) 13:36, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

~~== Investigative/Advocacy Journalist etc. ==~~

There has been a tussle over whether Berlet is an investigative journalist, an advocacy journalist, or something else. There is no source for either kind of journalist cited in the article. It does say that he once worked for [[High Times]], which would make him an advocacy journalist, but that was a long time ago. According to his blog, he's a "human rights activist." That could be considered a contentious statement from a self-published source, but it's better than nothing. [[User:Waalkes|Waalkes]] ([[User talk:Waalkes|talk]]) 18:44, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

:Tussle? Do tell. Yes he once wrote an article for hightimes. There's this blue link at the bottom that links to a wiki page that contains his bibliography. It's interesting that you are going to use his blog it would seem his website would be just reliable. http://www.chipberlet.net/ It says he is a investigative reporter, independent scholar, photographer, videographer, and progressive activist. It also says he is a human rights activist.[[User:Serialjoepsycho|Serialjoepsycho]] ([[User talk:Serialjoepsycho|talk]]) 21:59, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

:Working for ''High Times'' would not make Berlet an advocacy journalist any more than working for ''Mother Jones'' or ''Playboy'' would. The association with a magazine is not what does it—it's the actual work performed by the journalist. We can simply throw out that unsupported bit of conjecture.

:More to the point, your primary blog source has Berlet calling himself [http://www.chipberlet.blogspot.com/ "an investigative researcher and reporter... an activist and organizer since the mid 1960s"]. So you haver personally elected to ignore the bit about being an investigative researcher and a reporter, and instead you have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chip_Berlet&curid=12413189&diff=608722543&oldid=608426130 told the reader that Berlet] is a "human rights activist". This shows you engaging in a non-neutral twisting of the source.

:The source is in any case not what we want to use to define Berlet for the reader. We should be using [[WP:SECONDARY]] sources for that. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 22:34, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

::We should be but under the circumstances if no one has found any secondary sources these sources will suffice under my understanding of [[WP:BLPSPS]]. The thing that puzzles me is the logic behind removing the part about him being a photojournalist and investigative journalist. First was the push for him to be called an adcocacy journalist and then when a source couldn't be found all mention of his journalist career was removed to focus on activism. These changes are a bit suspect.[[User:Serialjoepsycho|Serialjoepsycho]] ([[User talk:Serialjoepsycho|talk]]) 23:11, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

:::If you don't have a proper source, why are you saying anything at all about his profession? If some guy puts on his personal blog that he's the Amazing Spiderman, will Wikipedia put that in an article? But in fact, there is a secondary source, the Laird Wilcox book mentioned earlier. It describes Berlet as a "writer," which I think everyone can agree on, as well as "activist." For someone to claim "journalist" as a profession, he should be employed as a staff member of a reputable publication. It appears that currently Berlet is an unemployed blogger, but he used to work for PRA. [[User:55 Gators|55 Gators]] ([[User talk:55 Gators|talk]]) 15:50, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

::::{{ping|55 Gators}}That was a proper source. If someone put's on his blog that he is the amazing spiderman that actual would would be an extraordinary claim. If someone has written for news paper, magazines, and other News media and claims to be a journalist that is not an extraordinary claim. Furthermore his self published sources do not violate [[WP:BLPSELFPUB]]. The last thing I would like to make clear is that your comment about his current career borders a [[wp:blp]] violation. You might consider deleting that.[[User:Serialjoepsycho|Serialjoepsycho]] ([[User talk:Serialjoepsycho|talk]]) 18:43, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

::::I also feel the need to point out that your comment, "For someone to claim "journalist" as a profession, he should be employed as a staff member of a reputable publication." is not very well thought out. Freelance journalist who make their careers as journalists do not work as staff members of for reputable publications. I'm also new to the whole requirement that you work with a reputable publication as there are numerous journalists that do not.

_______. 1998. “Mad as Hell: Right–wing Populism, Fascism, and Apocalyptic Millennialism.” Paper presented at the 14th World Congress of Sociology (XIVe Congrès Mondial de Sociologie), International Sociological Association, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

This article was substantially cleaned up during the spring, but now it's creeping back to being a mirror site for Berlet's own websites. If Berlet said something worth putting in Wikipedia, it will also be covered in secondary sources, so people should stop putting in stuff sourced only to Berlet. This is particularly the case for Berlet's accusations against public figures, even LaRouche: BLP policy says If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out.

_______. 1998. “The Ideological Weaponry of the American Right: ‘Dangerous Classes’ and ‘Welfare Queens’ (L’arsenal idéologique de la droite américaine: «classes dangereuses» et «welfare queens»). Paper presented at the international symposium, The “American Model:” an Hegemonic Perspective for the End of the Millennium?, (Le «modèle américain»: une perspective hégémonique pour la fin du millénaire?), Group Regards Critiques, Univ. of Lausanne, Switzerland, May 12.

:It is easy to find third party sources that describe the LaRouchites as antisemitic and anti-Jewish, and LaRouche himself an antisemite, a neofascist, a neonazi, and even a "small time Hitler". It is also easy to find third party sources that describe in detail LaRouche's conviction for financial and tax crimes. That I have written about these facts is itself a fact that is easy to document. What is the issue here?[[User:Chip.berlet|Chip.berlet]] ([[User talk:Chip.berlet|talk]]) 17:24, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

_______. 1997. “Fascism’s Franchises: Stating the Differences from Movement to Totalitarian Government.” Paper presented at the Annual Meeting, American Sociological Association, Toronto, Canada, August.

::As [[User:55 Gators|55 Gators]] said, third-party sources are needed to establish the notability of your views. If you wrote that your favorite cookies are chocolate chip - well, Wikipedia doesn't really care. --[[User:NeilN|NeilN]] [[User talk:NeilN|talk to me]] 18:25, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

:::Or more accurately, since this article is about Chip not LaRouche, to show that his views on LaRouche are significant to this article, which I have now done. [[User:The Four Deuces|TFD]] ([[User talk:The Four Deuces|talk]]) 20:13, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

:I agree that if someone said something, that we should use secondary or tertiary sources that report it, as was done with the mention of Ralph Nader. However the claims made about LaRouche are mentioned in ''Hate Crimes: A Reference Handbook'', pp. 88-89, which is already used as a source in the article. I will therefore restore the text and add this source. [[User:The Four Deuces|TFD]] ([[User talk:The Four Deuces|talk]]) 18:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

::Actually, the citation you used was not from the source per se. It is from a bio of Berlet which appears in the preface, a bio which was probably provided by Berlet. [[User:55 Gators|55 Gators]] ([[User talk:55 Gators|talk]]) 19:49, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

:::A [[preface]] "is an introduction to a book...written by the work's author." No idea why you not consider prefaces to have the same reliability as the books. Do you have any policies or guidelines? And who cares where sources get their informaton? We expect writers of reliable sources to use judgment, fact-checking, double-sourcing, etc. We ourselves do not do that, but rely on why reliable sources report.

~~==How Structural Bias and Selective Framing Trumps Fairness and Accuracy in this Entry==~~

A considerable portion of this entry is biased by the selection of my publications and public life that focus on controversies which play a relatively small role in my professional life as a journalist, scholar, and researcher. In this way the entry allows biased editors to quote at length from a relative handful of critics in a way that suggests that these controversies and criticisms accurately reflect the totality of my work and the fact that it is generally respected by my colleagues in journalism, scholarship, and research. The criticisms generally come from a few sets of tendencies:

~~# Conspiracy theorists~~

~~# Defenders of persons or groups I have criticized~~

~~# Authors who despise anyone on the political left as an “extremist.”~~

~~# Red-baiters who make false allegations about me as supporting Stalinism, Leninism, Communism, Totalitarianism, etc.~~

~~== It is requested that an edit be made to this article? ==~~

14,402 keystrokes later, I'm still not seeing a specific request for an edit here. If you want the article to read like a promotional blurb that you can use for commercial purposes (I see that you have helpfully included some examples), I think that would be a bad idea.
