Policies[edit]

(Please do not archive. New editors are asked to read this section carefully before editing.)

Because this is a contentious article, all edits should conform strictly not only to WP:NPOV, but also to the policies and guidelines regarding sources: WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:RS. Jointly these say:

  • Articles may not contain any unpublished theories, data, statements, concepts, arguments, analyses, or ideas.
  • The above may be published in Wikipedia only if already published by a reliable source.
  • A "source" refers to the publication Wikipedia obtained the material from (e.g. The New York Times). It does not refer to the original source of the material (i.e. wherever The New York Times obtained the information from).
  • A "reliable source" in the context of Rachel Corrie means:
    • articles in mainstream newspapers, books that are not self-published, scholarly papers, official reports, trial transcripts, congressional reports or transcripts, and similar;
    • no personal websites, blogs, or other self-published material unless the website or blog was Corrie's own, in which case it may be used with caution, so long as the material is notable, is not unduly self-aggrandizing, and is not contradicted by reliable third-party sources;
    • no highly biased political websites unless there is clearly some editorial oversight or fact-checking process.

Israeli Accounts[edit]

After reading the cited news article [5] ([1]), I believe the language used was misleading and misrepresenting the article. The article only reports the "attack" numbers from the judge. Judges are not finders of fact. If the judge stated a source, then that source should be cited. The citation is a news article, and does not say the judge was correct in their assertion. Therefore, it is reasonable and correct to represent the judge's remarks as their own, and not straight facts.

Semi-protected edit request on 9 June 2023[edit]

Change "American journalist Charlie Wolf" to "Charlie Wolf, formerly the Communications Director of Republicans Abroad UK"... as I doubt someone merely namecalling merits the title of 'journalist' (and his article doesn't, while it does have the comdir). 92.18.125.136 (talk) 13:50, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Article seems well referenced, in the main. What is cited to Gannet News, though, doesn't have a URL, making it unverifiable, and the first paragraph in ==ISM accounts== has no references at all. I've tagged the former with {{Better ref needed}}, and the latter with {{Citation needed}} (and {{Where}}). Bearing in mind the FAQ at the top of this page, please provide suitable references for these parts if you are able. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 11:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]
