Draft:Sultan al-Malki

  • Comment: When referencing, the cited source must actually support the information against which it is cited. There is no point in simply citing a website home page: for example, ref #5 should point to a URL which confirms (FWIW) that "the editor-in-chief of Al-Mowaten [...] encouraged [al-Malki] to study journalism", whereas the URL it currently points merely confirms that a website for the Al-Mowaten newspaper exists at that domain.
    There are other examples of this, leaving much of the draft content effectively unreferenced.
    Google search is not a valid source, since it is different each time and for each user. Cite actual sources, please, not a search portal to possible sources. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
