Does Barnes & Noble count as a reliable source for which of Covington's books are bestsellers for them: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/%22H.%20A.%20Covington%22?Ntk=P_key_Contributor_List&Ns=P_Sales_Rank&Ntx=mode+matchall ?
Should the sentence be amended to cite a similar result at every major online bookseller that offers his books?
Can an experienced Wikipedian help with this?

It is not true that Harold Covington ever operated a blog specifically devoted to Holocaust Denial. Whoever posted this claim relies on a source that does not even say it. Read the source carefully!
The "Ministry of Truth" blog is operated by somebody calling himself Winston Smith, but it was not Harold Covington. Metapedia indicates that the "Winston Smith" who operates Ministry of Truth also calls himself Black Rabbit of Inle. This is a well known participant in the CODOH forum who resides in the UK. This Winston Smith is definitely not Harold Covington.
Covington's blogs were well known: Down With Jugears.blogspot.com and NorthwestFront.org. Neither is specifically devoted to Holocaust Denial.
In fact, Covington used the pseudonym Winston Smith for his Resistance newsletter in the 1990s. I am very familiar with Covington and am not aware of any instance of his using Winston Smith online.

I am conducting an in depth study of Covington, so I have an academic interest in this question - and you present yourself as someone who knows the truth. Yes, I am very interest in what you might have to say Your Buddy Fred Lewis. I look forward to your clarification. 47.137.184.131 (talk) 05:31, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
Does anyone know whether Hinckley was alleged to be a member of the American Nazi Party or the National Socialist Party of America?
The link mentions "Nazi Party of America" which may have just been their way of shortening (and possibly sensationalizing) NSPA.
Right now it is vague. I'd like to clarify the point. 2600:1012:B1CC:C3DC:0:27:5948:F201 (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Currently reads:
"Towards the end of his life, Covington created a group that wanted a white ethnostate in the Pacific Northwest."
While this is true, it is already covered in the lede:
"He advocated the creation of an "Aryan homeland" in the Pacific Northwest (known as the Northwest Territorial Imperative) and was the founder of the Northwest Front (NF), a white separatist political movement."
Furthermore, the link does not reflect the content - it is an announcement of his death, not a description of the Northwest Front's political aims.
Also, there is precedent in the editing history of this article for not using the Northwest Front website because it does not meat RS criteria.
The last sentence is superfluous, awkwardly worded, and ruins the flow/tone of the article + the source is not RS.
It should be removed and stay removed. 2600:1012:B13D:AA2C:0:8:5E68:401 (talk) 02:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
