Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/Links to reliable sources discussions

WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/Links to reliable sources discussions provides Links to Specific Source Discussions and Links to General Issues Discussions of reliable sources that have been or could be relevant to Israel-Palestine issues. These discussions have been conducted over the last few years, mostly on Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard which has a search box for a complete listing of your topic discussed there. Therefore this list is better for use as a survey of relevant topics which have been discussed.

Remember none of these discussions may be the "final word" on a source or an issue about sources and often opinion on sources evolves. So feel free to open a new section on Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard if you think it is necessary.

Information on Wikipedia source policies can be found at WP:Verifiability, WP:Reliable sources and Wikipedia Reliable source examples. Links to information about various reference libraries can be found here. HINT: If you have a specific source - say "counterpunch.org" - and want to see if it is used a lot on wikipedia, meaning it probably is generally reliable, just search the domain name at general search page. Also Scholar.Google.com and Books.Google.com are excellent sources of reliably sourced books and academic papers.

Please feel free to circulate this paragraph and its links to talk pages or your user page to alert others to the availability of this resource.

(Instructions for other editors: Once discussions have been archived in Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard archives, add the new source and link to the table in the same format, in alphabetical order.)
