'popular culture' or 'see also' is incomplete without the Belgian erotic vampire thriller "Les Lèvres Rouges"; featuring the gorgeous Delphine Seyrigg as the countess' 1971 reincarnation, the newlywed Danielle Ouimet as her object of lust, and the ingénue Andrea Rau as her hapless familiar. 2001:14BB:A9:1C36:D035:C9B4:177E:FBD5 (talk) 11:40, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is one-side in favor of the theory that Bathory was innocent and railroaded. I added contrary information, but it was removed because Reddit is "not a reliable source". However, my citation was to the AskHistorians subreddit which is moderated and peer-reviewed. I'm putting it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mooseman2 (talk • contribs) 18:14, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, AskHistorians is moderated, but not peer-reviewed, and it still does not meet the definition of reliable source. I go to AskHistorians from time to time, and generally the users *cite* reliable sources, but you would have to actually read those sources and cite them rather than a Reddit post.--MattMauler (talk) 18:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS - Thanks for bringing this to the talkpage here so we can have the conversation and others can chime in to reach a consensus. I think the policy's pretty clear, but it's nice go back and forth here rather than just in edit summaries.--MattMauler (talk) 18:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
