Bleachbit is now being mentioned in relation to the clinton private server email stories. should we reference that in the article?Centerone (talk)02:52, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed a statement that "the program doesn't have that ability built into it", since there's no way from just the 25 second video clip to figure out what Gowdy really meant by "delete". True, there is no specific "delete yoga emails" feature, but the BleachBit shredding capability could be a candidate for what's really being talked about here. That of course is pure speculation (whether it's by Wikipedia or the press) until there's a better source.--NapoliRoma (talk)22:27, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
One thing we should be really cautious about is any article which uses Gowdy as their sole source. He's not exactly a reliable source when it comes to Hillary Clinton.Centerone (talk)01:03, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
−I visited this Wikipedia page because of the Hillary connection. I see that the Bleachbit website now quotes Gowdy on their main page. I also see that a misleading partisan sentence has been added to this Bleachbit Wikipedia page, in regard to Gowdy. By stating, "without offering explanation as to how it was used to do this", it implies that there is some kind of mystery as to how it could be used to do this. Either this should be deleted or it should be expounded on as to why Gowdy should have offered an explanation of how the file shredder/wiper function was used to shred/wipe files.— Precedingunsigned comment added by69.201.2.158 (talk)22:35, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you look immediately above what you just wrote, you'll see where I said I removed a statement: "the program doesn't have the ability built into it". I replaced it with the "without offering explanation..." line rather than just deleting it. Why? Because, we don't know exactly what Gowdy meant. BleachBit indeed has no feature for removing specific email messages, which he implies it does, but it does have features for wiping entire disks, which he does not say anything about, but again, could be inferred. With no explicit explanation of how BleachBit was used, we can't go on inference. There is "some kind of mystery", if you will.
Speculating on what he meant, in either direction, is considered "original research", which is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Also consider, as Centerone notes above, that Gowdy himself is not a neutral source.
The statement that he made a claim, but it was not a complete description of the event, is an accurate depiction of the 25 second answer.
The terms "shredding", "wiping", and "vacuuming" should be defined or replaced with a more descriptive explanation of the operations. ("What, you mean with a cloth?"). I just came to check this after reading a blog that said BleachBit uses chemical methods to make a disk unreadable.Eaberry (talk)16:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What the POTUS tweets or how he misnames bleachbit is hardly content. Left here for relevance."Intweets in June 2017,Donald Trump used the termbleached as a reference to the use of BleachBit by Hillary Clinton.[1][2]"
Removed for now, unless someone can come up with a reason it should be in there.
