Legend

Latest comment: 19 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Could someone provide some sources for the local legend? The article claims the legend is "actually historically accurate", but several other articles about other strange lights have a similar legend attached. --NighTrekr 19:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

File:Gurdon_light_in_1994.jpg

Latest comment: 1 year ago8 comments3 people in discussion

Regarding these images: a blob of light on a dark background with what appear to be trees. There is no way to WP:V verify that this is the Gurdon light. Most user-submitted images to Wikipedia are fairly conventional and it is reasonable to assume good faith and trust the uploader. However some images, like this one, are connected to topics that are sufficiently unusual that they cannot be taken at face value. Even modifying the image caption with a caveat ("Photo claimed to be of the Gurdon light in 1994") isn't sufficient. Platforming images that make unverifiable claims doesn't improve the article and isn't in the best interests of Wikipedia. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

The recently added File:Gurdon_Light.png is worse. An image of a blob of light is WP:V unverifiable. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:35, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

the image File:Gurdon_Light.png is a fake photo. if this user Americafyeah2013 add it back, remove it. Mister49 (talk) 16:17, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Mister49 I deleted the "Close-up picture of the Gurdon Light." image as discussed. Ridiculous anyone would even post such a pic. Mastakos (talk) 21:13, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Whether the image is fake or not, as @LuckyLouie points out, it is unverifiable. If someone wants to add an image, it needs to come from a verifiable external source, indicating date and location taken, etc. Mastakos (talk) 21:17, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

good, thank you. Mister49 (talk) 21:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

it appears that he is back and he is doing it all over again, check the edit history in the gurdon light article. he must be stopped. Mister49 (talk) 03:42, 14 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

whoops, i forgot it was from the day you messaged me, but always stay attent in the article because he might come back again and repost the image on a different account. Mister49 (talk) 03:47, 14 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
