hi, Chris,

Welcome to SourceWatch. I saw your edits to the Fuad El-Hibri article, and wanted to make sure you knew that one of our main policies is that all information added to SourceWatch must be referenced. Please see SourceWatch:References for details on how to do that.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't have such a strong referencing policy. So while it's fine in general to copy info over from Wikipedia, unsourced statements must either be sourced by adding references, or we will remove the unreferenced text from the SourceWatch article. So if you could please try to find references for the unsourced parts of the Fuad El-Hibri article, that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hello Diane,

Sorry for the delay. I understand your policies now with regards to the edits of Fuad El-Hibri -- I was just trying to be helpful and try to format it and so forth -- I will try to get you the sorts of references you want. If you like, I would be happy to revert the content to the way it was before. Please let me know what I need to do.

hi, Chris,

Thanks for your response. If you could add refs to the current version of the Fuad El-Hibri article, that would be great. The links on the previous version of the page -- which you can see here -- may be helpful.

I'd suggest adding all the refs you can find, and if there's still info that needs refs, either marking it like this -- {{fact}} -- to indicate that it needs sourcing, or moving it from the article page to the "discussion" page, under a heading that clarifies that the material needs refs.

Here's the page again on how to add references -- SourceWatch:References -- and this page describes our standard article end sections -- Help:How to add an articles and resources section.

best,
