faulty and unreliable information from Luis Lema of Le Temps (Switserland)[edit]
This text:
- According to the Swiss expert team (including notably experts in radio-chemistry, radio-physics and legal medicine), on a probability scale ranging from one to six, death by polonium poisoning is around five.[178]
is based on a texte of an article of Luis Lema in Le Temps.
It is even a falsification of what is written, because it is Luis Lema who puts this sentence in the mouth of the Swiss team without their agreement, whereas the Swiss team itself published a scientific document explaining why there isn't any probabilistic data available
http://www.chuv.ch/ira/ira-arafat-faq.pdf
- Why did we use a Bayesian analysis and why doesn't the conclusion estimate the probability that Mr. Arafat was poisoned by polonium?
and
- In this sense, these results do not then define the probability to which Yasser Arafat would have been poisoned by polonium
When a journalist writes such a stub, should not all references to his article(s) be withdrawn? Realitychecking (talk) 08:39, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- From what I understand, the Swiss did not give a probability number. The scale from 1 to 6 does not refer to probability, but refers to categories such as "definitely not:, "moderately probable, "definitely" and so on. Al Jazeera asked them if being 5 on the scale of 6 means 83% probability (5/6 of 100%), but the experts clarified that it does not. This is made clear in the text, as far as I can see. The cited text also does not say anything about probability, but only talks about the scale. The scale should perhaps be made explicit. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 10:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- I have rewritten the prose to be a bit more clear. Let me know if there are any issues. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 11:03, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Tx. Yes, I saw. I have to think about it. May be this article should limit to the conclusions developped in the other one whereby it is now known that there was no real proof at all? I'll think about it. Realitychecking (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Shouldn't this discussion and most of the edits first be in the primary article and that Talk page? KamelTebaast 21:53, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Several marriages[edit]
The "marriage" section only mentions the last marriage of Arafat, skipping previous relationships.
The following article lists two previous wives: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1994/12/09/for-arafat-tidings-from-two-wives/a2518c4e-0db6-49e5-a4b4-fa3835cd155d/?utm_term=.05986482fef0

reference 82 is a dead link- here an updated link http://mfa.gov.il/MFA/ForeignPolicy/MFADocuments/Yearbook7/Pages/92%20Press%20Conference%20Following%20Israel%20Air%20Force%20Att.aspx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.55.162 (talk) 18:59, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
NATIONALITY PALESTINIAN??[edit]
By your own admission Yasser Arafat was born in CAIRO EGYPT in 1929! So he IS AN EGYPTIAN! At the time the LAND OF ISRAEL was occupied by THE BRITISH EMPIRE! On their OFFICIAL PAPERS it was stated IN HEBREW פלשתינה א"י - which means PALESTINE LAND OF ISRAEL !!!
There IS NO, and NEVER WAS an ARAB PALESTINIAN STATE or a PALESTINIAN NATION!
To boot - Mahmud Abbas - aka Abu Mazen - is a SYRIAN! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Al.Qudsi (talk • contribs) 20:39, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
