Talk:2017 Sierra Leone mudslides

Israeli propaganda
Israel aid was the only mentioned so far, but the UAE (and possibly other countries) have also dedicated funds for Sierra Leone's relief, but have channeled it through the World Food Program. Channeling relief through international bodies should not exclude the country from being mentioned for its contribution, so long as it has indeed dedicated funds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simpatico qa (talk • contribs) 11:45, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Please remember Wikipedia is not just an indiscriminate collection of information. This is not a scoreboard tallying which countries contributed to the relief effort. If they channeled funds/supplies through the WFP, that is fantastic but we do not need to list them; the mention about the WFP will suffice.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:28, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

We collect all that is known and relevant to the subject, without subjective selection of which facts we deem suitable to list and which omit. We strive not to omit true and verifiable information. Listing only the country that didn't channel it's support via an established framework of international collaboration unfairly singles out that countries as a donor from its neighbors that may have provided more aid, but through coordinated international relief. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simpatico qa (talk • contribs) 19:47, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Please also read WP:RGW. The reason we cover Israel's aid is because more sources discussed it, noting it was the first instance of foreign aid to reach Sierra Leone. We are not here to be "fair", just to analyze the sources. Like I said, it is fantastic that the countries are supporting affected residents with aid through the WFP but it is WP:UNDUE to list all of them.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:43, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Singling out Israel in your mention, in which you cited local media, you are giving it undue weight. Other countries have contributed more in aid, and their aid reached first through international collaboration framework. Simpatico qa (talk) 06:04, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I hate to break it to you but The Times of Israel is an international paper read in English, French, and German, among other languages. It is not "local media". I also thoroughly explained the importance of the aid. I know you WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT but that is no reason to disrupt the article.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 06:17, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT and  WP:UNDUE could also be said of the narrative that you have imposed. To be balanced, the page should either be more inclusive, or single out no country.
 * I am now requesting you temporarily back away from the article and reassess. You clearly have a bias against Israel as indicated by your dismissal of a reliable source and the change of this discussion header. This has no place in a productive discussion. I have outlined to you quite thoroughly that other countries will soon be mentioned when specifics are found.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:24, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * All major donations thus far have been included. However, the bias against Israel is unnecessary and I take offense to it. Please remember to keep a WP:NPOV in the future.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:43, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

No offense intended. Indeed thank you for listing the relief (and pledges of relief) from all of China, Ireland, United Kingdom, Guinea, Nigeria, and Liberia. It reads much more balanced and inclusive now. I hope you will also list Turkey's and the UAE's<. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simpatico qa (talk • contribs) 08:49, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
