List of sources
This list is the result of discussions, usually on this page's talk page. To add a new source, please proceed per the below.

Explanation of columns:
 * Name: Usually the title of an article, or a name that would be a suitable title. Redlinks here don't necessarily mean that an article should be created, it only indicates that we don't have one.
 * URL: Web address of the source.
 * Class: One of the following: RS: Reliable source QS: Qualified source: A source that may be reliable in certain contexts, but always needs to be used with a qualification (also called “attribution”) such as “pro-rebel”, “state owned” or the name itself. UnRS: Unreliable source UnClassS: Unclassified source (that is, we haven't discussed it enough to reach a conclusion.)
 * Attribution: displays how we recommend the source should be qualified in the text. For instance, the entry for Tamilnet is "pro-rebel", which means that text from them should be attributed like "according to the pro-rebel Tamilnet". "None" means that a source can be used without the "according ..." part, like most sources in Wikipedia. "Name only", as for Peace Secretariat of the LTTE means that a source should be referred to by its name in the text, as in "according to the Peace Secretariat of the LTTE".
 * Remark / reason for classification: usually contains a link to the discussion
