Thanks for tracking me here. Argue your opinion, don't state obiter dicta, at the appropriate WP:RS forum, and notify me when you do.Nishidani (talk) 12:09, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am interested in your view as to why you consider this an RS and have used it to make contentious claims; I ask this as I have similar style sources that I would like to include to provide an interesting perspective.Ankh.Morpork 13:09, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You expressed a personal view on a source praised for its work by Zbigniew Brzezinski, Admiral William J. Crowe, which publishes views by Geoffrey Aronson, Yuval Diskin, George W. Ball, Philip Klutznick, Yehoshafat Harkabi, Sari Nusseibeh, Helena Cobban and dozens of other top-ranking authorities on US foreign policy and the Middle East. If you can't see at first sight that a Washington think tank/NGO with these interests and credentials and support is not suitable as per WP:RS, either visit an optometrist or refer the question to your new mentor, who will illuminate you. The question you raise is a non-question, since it implies that my use of this source is based on subjective, personal, rather than objective, wiki critieria.Nishidani (talk) 13:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
