Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President
[edit]- ... that Kathleen Hall Jamieson (pictured) found in her book Cyberwar it is highly probable that Russia changed the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election?

- Should the sentence attributed to Huckabee be in quotes? More generally, is the Presuppositions section directly quoted from the book?
- Should "highly probable" be in quotes? The transcript has none, but the headline does. "Why this author says it’s ‘highly probable’ Russian interference swung the 2016 election"
- Thank you for the review, Zeete! To answer some questions, the photo is free not fair use, its license is Creative Commons attribution. Huckabee's quote was "You have to believe in unicorns." So no it should not be in quotes. Also no, that section is my paraphrase, not a direct quotation. For highly probable, I prefer no quotes (they can distract from the message) but it's okay with me if you want to add them. -SusanLesch (talk) 21:41, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update. My mistake, I conflated fair/free. You've resolved all my questions about quotes.
