We value editorial standards. A newspaper article is written by a professional journalist, in a reputable publication, and has to be run through an editor. On the other hand, posts on an Internet forum can be written by anyone and don't have any editorial process, therefore are less reliable.

This is not specific to the French forum - I would say the same thing about the 110 Club, other Internet forums, and social media posts. I'm also not suggesting that anything on French forum is inaccurate or untrustworthy.

However, if the Gerontology Wiki wants to be considered a respectable encyclopaedia, information in articles needs to be well-sourced. I wouldn't trust a Wikipedia article if it was sourced to Internet forums.

Please also learn the difference between accuracy and reliability:

Accuracy - "the quality or state of being correct or precise" Reliability - "the quality of being trustworthy or of performing consistently well"

Information on an Internet forum may be accurate, but it's not reliable, as there are no editorial standards. Ollie231213 (talk) 17:46, April 6, 2018 (UTC)
