Sources for reception/coverage

[edit]

I've been trying to keep up with the coverage and reception this book has been getting. Here's a list of the sources about it I've found that aren't already cited in the article:

I'd like to discuss which of these reviews are important enough to be cited here. I think that the review from the London Times definitely should be, but some of the other reviews I've listed are from newspapers and magazines I'm not familiar with, so I don't know how prominent they are. --Captain Occam (talk) 00:41, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Softball interviews with the author aren't reliable independent secondary sources, and should be used sparingly. Most of the reviews listed seem fine, for tricycle and harvard magazine you'd need to provide some evidence that they are WP:RS that possess WP:WEIGHT.


Anyone know of a non-blog[1] source for Stuart Pimm's position on extinctions[2] being misrepresented in the book? -- Jeandré, 2018-03-16t12:41z

Quillette

[edit]

@Aquillion: I understand that Quillette is not seen in good light in general, however I don't see why a relevant opinion about the book by them was removed [1]. Mohamed CJ (talk) 16:08, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
