Mueller's letter
editAviartm, ask and ye shall receive: https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5984399-Mueller-Letter-to-Barr .
I'd love to find the original source of the document, but it seems to be generally available. I first saw it on the news this afternoon. - PaulT+/C 20:45, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- Psantora Thank you! :) Aviartm (talk) 16:54, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- Edit: Psantora Is there a way to fix the file over at WikiMedia Commons? Someone uploaded the file but the thumbnail is broken. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mueller_letter_to_Barr_2019-03-27.pdf Aviartm (talk) 17:03, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- That is super-weird. Something is wrong with the file (File:Mueller letter to Barr 2019-03-27.pdf). This is why I don't like to source official documents from places other than the organization that published it in the first place. File:Letter from Attorney General William Barr to Graham and Nadler 2019-03-29.pdf looks weird too, but at least it displays properly despite also having a non-official source. I think the file needs to be re-uploaded and possibly the old version deleted. The source is ostensibly from The Washington Post, but given the way it is showing up there I don't trust the file hasn't been messed with in some way. In the meantime, you could upload another version and use that instead if you like. It will eventually get sorted at commons. - PaulT+/C 18:45, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- Psantora I agree, however, if you tried to upload the file, WikiMedia blocks it because it is the same thing. So this is the only one we can use but can't due to the thumbnail being broken. Aviartm (talk) 02:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- Aviartm Huh... that is really odd. There must be something off with the original file from The Washington Post. I've marked it as broken and commented out the only use of the image at Timeline of investigations into Trump and Russia (2019) but I'm not sure what else to do. Maybe post at the help desk at commons? - PaulT+/C 14:49, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- Psantora Yeah. I don’t know enough about WikiMedia Commons and how do fix stuff and what not. So if you are able to and know how, I would greatly appreciate it! :) Aviartm (talk) 15:49, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- I posted at commons:Commons:Village pump/Technical#Fixing a broken PDF file. We'll see what happens I guess. - PaulT+/C 17:27, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Closely related article(s) need updating
editOne or more closely related articles badly need updating to reflect recent developments. Please see e.g. this section of the talk page for one of them. Thanks! 172.58.41.183 (talk) 03:38, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, I actually figured out how to do it myself in the one article I linked to above. Not such a big deal :-) 172.58.41.183 (talk) 04:50, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Is Just Security considered a Reliable Source? Our link redirects to NYU School of Law, but it is not mentioned at that article. (I have now added it to that page.) Its website says it is an online forum based at NYU School of Law's Reiss Center on Law and Security, but not published by the law school or the Reiss Center; it is editorially independent of both according to a reference I found.[1] The website says "The views expressed on this site are attributable to their individual authors writing in their personal capacity only, and not to any other author, the editors, or any other person, organization or institution with which the author might be affiliated or whom the author may advise or represent in legal proceedings." I would hesitate to attribute anything to this article, although we could possibly use it as roadmap for other material cited to Reliable Sources. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:07, 6 June 2019 (UTC) More info: [2] -- MelanieN (talk) 16:09, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
