Talk pages[edit]

You are allowed to remove this sort of aspersion if you so choose btw Elinruby (talk) 18:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

in case you haven't been told this yet[edit]

In reference to your comments on reliable sources, you actually seem to be doing quite well. But in case this is useful information and you didn't know it already, WP:RSN has a link to "Perennial sources", ie those that have been discussed so many times that a general statement can be made about their reliability. (Usually a lot depends on what exactly the reference is being used to source, right?) If the source you are wondering about is not on that list, there is also a search box for the archives. Sometimes a slightly unusual source hasn't made the list, but when it has come up, some really troubling issues have been raised, and that can be good to know. You are correct that sources from India that reflect the government position may be affected by India's economic ties with Russia. I am not clear on which sources those are though, and I am not sure that Hindustani Times is one of them. HtH Elinruby (talk) 18:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
