Below is a list of acceptable and unacceptable sources, as agreed in discussion [1].

[edit] Acceptable sources

[edit] Unacceptable sources (agreed)

  • PCHRGaza (reliability disputed by MathKnight, see example of fraud in here)

[edit] Unacceptable sources (dispute)

  • Electronic Intifada - Palestinian activism site, clearly not a news source. (Disputed by MathKnight 14:30, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC))
  • AlternativeNews AlternativeNews , with terms like "occupation forces" and "Palestinian resistance fighters from Hamas" the neutarlity of this source is disputed (Disputed by MathKnight 14:30, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC))
  • others (please explain reasoning)


By the same token, not listing ANY source is definitely not acceptable? Palestine-info 11:35, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yes. Any report should be cited by a reliable source. MathKnight 14:28, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Bias and poor sourcing

This article largely reflects the selective omission of Palestinian victims in the articles for 2000 - 2003. It starts with an assessment of total casualties for both sides, but then degenerates into POV. Please have a look at the corresponding article for 2004, which is consistently unbiased and well-sourced. Buttockhat (talk) 16:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
