Talk:Bin Laden Issue Station

message: I've reverted Ryulong's nonsense, which he should leave out of Wikipedia.  If he has anything more intelligent to say, he should feel free. Frank Freeman 13:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: It is extremely difficult to relate several different citations from the same large document, or multiple documents, to a single point being sourced. If the documents are saying the same thing in different places, then why is more than one citation helpful?

thread_title:  Moving citations for section "New view of al-Qaeda, 1996–1998" here to park 

message: The lead section is terrible, imho. The section paragraph I'm almost sure is from Steve Coll's book, Ghost Wars, maybe even from press materials. I think it is almost a direct quote. 
The third paragraph is specific points that belong in the narrative. 
I'm going to start writing new material for the lead section on this page below. Keeping the first sentence. Comment on the project in this section and edit away below.

thread_title:  Lead section comments

message: The very last sentence of the article is one of the few which are un-sourced, despite being key for the substance of the article.  In fact, this statement is one sided, being alleged by exclusively individuals linked to the U.S. government and never independently verified.  In fact, there are numerous sources with relevent information, such as Lt. Col Oliver North, Dr. Ray Griffin, Egyptian Newspapers, and even Fox News, as well as Bin Laden experts, that the former AlQaeda leader was dead not much later than early 2002.  Adding support are the discrepancies of the stories written in tell-all books by alleged members of the kill squad involved in the Abbottabad raid.  All of this together, even without Wikipedia sourcing guidelines, would require in a real encyclopedia, to source the last statement to its one and only source.

replies: text: Wikipedia reflects the mainstream POV on various topics. Views outside the mainstream (i.e. WP:Fringe theories) can be discussed to the extent they are discussed in reliable secondary sources. With that in mind, you probably won't find much support for WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV and WP:IN-TEXT attribution in describing mainstream POVs. Still, I have sourced the last sentence of the article. -Location (talk) 00:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
