I would agree. But that's not what was going on here. This was an article that covered one very small portion of the magazine's history, after a particularily interesting event. Don't get me wrong, I find the whole story quite facinating, it seems to involve an editor essentially hijaking an existing mechanism in order to radically change direction of the paper in order to print a series on Velikovsky. THAT is definitely worth writing about.
And if we can find some verifiable material, that's exactly what we do. Otherwise it's speculation.
But that's _not_ what the article was about. The article basically ignored all of the history and simply talked about articles supporting Velikovsky.
Even if we had verifiable information on the history of Pensée, it is not relevant to the special series; suppose the student magazine was just called "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered", it would still stand on its own merit.
The entry does not talk about articles that just support Velikovsky. And even if it did, then we say so.
It is sufficient to express that Velikovsky's ideas are significantly at odds with the mainstream.
Which the article failed to do.
This is detailed in the article on Velikovsky. We don't say in the article on "Pravda" that it includes ideas that are at significant odds with democracy, or Americans, or Republicans.
