Fox News Source
[edit]@Genabab The RBC Ukraine link is just a shell that reiterates what Fox News said, IE: it is quoting Fox News rather than being an independent article, and Fox News is very unreliable for US politics. I don't oppose inclusion of this event - but you need a source that is unrelated to Fox. Simonm223 (talk) 16:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Simonm223 What makes you think that this event didn't happen? I really am struggling to get what the issue is here.... Genabab (talk) 16:16, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Nobody is saying it didn't happen. You need to provide a reliable source. Fox isn't for this, and sites that simply parrot what Fox said also are not. How are you struggling to understand this? --Onorem (talk) 16:18, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Well. simply put if we agree that it *did* happen, then what does it matter if Fox reports on it? @Onorem Genabab (talk) 16:22, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

- That's not the problem. As I said I have no opposition to including the event with appropriate sourcing. We just need one reliable source - RBC Ukraine is acting as a news aggregator and pointing back to Fox news that is WP:GUNREL for US politics. Simonm223 (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- In fact @Genabab if you have a peek at WP:RS/N you will see I even made an effort to find a reliable source but I came up mostly empty. This may simply be a matter of WP:TOOSOON and reliable sources are waiting to see if it turns out to be anything more than congressional hot air. Simonm223 (talk) 16:21, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hmmm okay. Well let's wait and see then Genabab (talk) 16:24, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
