Muggah and Frontline
Although I don't dispute these two sources Muggah and Frontline, both are not publicly available to collaborate. Therefore I added the verify source tag until it can be verified. Can you please share the source content. You can simply photograph the source pages and upload to Wikicommons and share here. Once verified, it can be deleted.

 * Could you cite the rule that requires this? Actually we are not allowed to upload copyrighted content. Until you cite the rule, there's no need for that tag on reliable sources. --- Petextrodon (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * In fact, Wiki guideline itself advises against your reason, as per Template:Verify_source:
 * "you might not be in a position to verify a given source (perhaps the only source is in a library half-way across the globe, for instance). This alone does not mean you should add this template." --- Petextrodon (talk) 22:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Petextrodon, then how do I verify your citation? Cossde (talk) 00:31, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You just have to trust me on this unless you suspect me of intentionally lying which other editors with access to the sources can check and get me penalized. Muggah's book is available on google books but it's an e-book version with no page numbers. -- Petextrodon (talk) 00:34, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Petextrodon, I am sorry about I don't trust you. Can you share the google books link. Cossde (talk) 03:59, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Petextrodon has clearly told you what the WP:SOURCEACCESS policy says. Yet you still revert. If you cannot find the source (it is available on the net), then you need to request others to access it "on your behalf (see WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request)." That is what the policy clearly states. Oz346 (talk) 21:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Oz346, the link you provide does not cover the pages cited. Can you please share where its available on the net as you say. These are very controversial claims and need to be verified. Cossde (talk) 14:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I will be breaking copyright law if I share it here, request it at resource exchange/resource request and you should be able to get it quick. Oz346 (talk) 15:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Wait, how did you get it in the first place? Cossde (talk) 15:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have had the physical copy for many years. Oz346 (talk) 15:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Care to share an photo extract from it for the verification and take it down after. I have done that in the past when challenged physical sources. Cossde (talk) 15:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think that is allowed in the policies, can you please show me the link. Oz346 (talk) 15:50, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Can you please share the wiki policy that prevents this? Cossde (talk) 13:49, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * check the copyright policies of the site itself. Oz346 (talk) 13:58, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * This is not a request for republication only a limited time publication of a limited segment for verification and thereafter it can be deleted. Unless you don't have the content to share with us. Cossde (talk) 14:05, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
