Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 17:14, 27 December 2023 (UTC)


 * thanks for your information but i assure you i do not utilise any sources with the entent of promoting their publisher, but simply added their reports due to it being consistent and verifiable in most cases with pictures and videos أبو اسماعيل علي الصنهاجي (talk) 17:20, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The issue is not anything about promotional edits, it's the reliability of the source; a Telegram post is not a reliable source. Per WP:RS:
 * "Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable. Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal and group blogs (excluding newspaper and magazine blogs), content farms, Internet forums, social media sites, fansites, video and image hosting services, most wikis and other collaboratively created websites."


 * Regarding "consistent and verifiable in most cases with pictures and videos", the problem is that it is an act of interpretation to look at those pics/videos and confirm they do indeed depict the weapon in question. That's a job for a reliable secondary source, not for Wikipedia editors. Per WP:NOR:
 * "All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors...Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so."


 * If you can find a reliable source confirming the information in question, that would be great and it can be re-added. But a Telegram post and/or a Wikipedia user's analysis of a video are not reliable sources. Thanks. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:41, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for informing me about this, it was simply because multiple Wikipedia articles utilise such sources (including the page itself, it uses Twitter as source for syria operating such weapons) so i mistakenly thought i could add the afford mentioned change, thanks for taking your time to correct me أبو اسماعيل علي الصنهاجي (talk) 20:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
