== The man himself was not condemned, and other probs == 

 ( Because this article is under ARBPIA sanctions, I'm asking  to correct the following problems with one of his very recent edits, rather than just doing so myself. Besides, it seems polite to give him the chance to do so himself. I've posted this here, and notified him of it on his talk page, because there's been some controversy around this passage in the article's lead, and I think other editors should be aware of this as well. ) 

 So, V7, I'd like call attention to a few problems with  this edit, and ask you to correct them. Each of the following points pertain to that edit: 

 (1) You cited Google hosted news for a particular article. Unlike other news aggregators (Yahoo, notably), it's my understanding that Google News stays around for only 30 days, and should not be linked to for that reason. I added mention of this to the lead of our Google News article some time ago, based as I recall, on some mention of this on a WP policy page that I'm not going to take the time to track again now. The same article is behind a paywall at the American Free Press, which originated it, but is available here, on Yahoo, which will be a stable link. Would you please substitute the Yahoo link for the evanescent Google hosted news link? 

 (2) You edit summary in the diff I provided ( "Not just according to the Jerusalem post." ) indicates a belief that it wasn't just the Jerusalem Post that said the UN Secretary General condemned the man himself, rather than just his remarks. But this isn't supported by the links you provided. It's true that the Voice of America (VOA) ref/link carries the headline, "UN Chief Condemns Investigator on Palestine", but the article itself doesn't support that wording. Rather, it provides both an audio clip of his speech, and a corresponding print quotation that refute that wording. Here's what the article documents that the Secretary General actually said: 

 "Recently, the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories Occupied Since 1967 suggested there was an 'apparent cover-up' in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States," said Ban.  "I want to tell you, clearly and directly, I condemn this sort of inflammatory rhetoric.  It is preposterous, an affront to the memory of the more than 3,000 people who died in that tragic terrorist attack."   

 Likewise, the American Free Press story says only that his remarks were condemned by Ki-Moon, not the man himself, and the Reuters story says the same thing. Even the Jerusalem Post story, which only provides only a snippet of the full Ki-Moon quotation that the American Free Press article includes says, in its title, that it's the remarks that he condemned, although the reporter incorrectly states in the body of that article that the "condemnation" applied to the man himself. In other words, Cs32en was correct in his edit summary here, that this was simple carelessness on the part of that reporter. Please correct the error. 

 (3) The final link you provided in that edit is, at the present time, a dead link. Please recheck it yourself, and if it's still unavailable when you do so, correct that problem by either deleting it or finding a live link to the same content. 

 Thanks,  –
