Talk:ARA News

Biased news
This news service is obviously biased. Therefore, it is not a reliable source of information and cannot be used as a reference. Constellation2023 (talk) 08:57, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Welcome Constellation2023 to your first day editing Wikipedia! Perhaps you would like to cite some evidence for your view? I see that all of your 5 edits to articles have already been reverted for one reason or another, can I suggest you read the Wikipedia policy on verifiability?

Of course this outlet is biased! Who isn't anyway? But to claim it's not is plain ignorance, or an indication of bad will. Here's one: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ara-news/ 195.142.50.207 (talk) 12:48, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * What do you think about the bit where mediabiasfactcheck says that ARA News is "generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation" and "Factual Reporting: HIGH"? Batternut (talk) 13:39, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Advertisement like content
So what if a paper was referenced a hundred times or a hundred thousand times? It reads like an advertisement. Needforwiki (talk) 16:04, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That is its claim for notability, which is the requirement for the article's existence. I think an advert saying "Buy our newspaper, thousands of people read it!" would be considered a very good advert. And I don't think an advert would for a news service would boast of its ownership being unpublished. Batternut (talk) 19:45, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Downtime since late 2017?
Both http://aranews.net and http://aranews.org seem to have been down for some time. Right now the IPs are at Greenhost Network. Archive.org: archive.org 2017-11-17 - site OK, but most recent article highlighted on front page is of 2017-08-27. Boud (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * If the site is not back up within a month (e.g. by 16 March 2018), changing the tenses in the article from present to past will probably be reasonable. Boud (talk) 20:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Done. Boud (talk) 23:00, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
