***::''[[Spiked (magazine)|Spiked]]'' is a pretty bad example in of itself and the only times I have seen such "elsewhere" reports are from ''[[New York Post]]'' and ''[[Daily Mail]]'', which, if these generally make up the only other reports that have directly refuted gravesite claims, would be understandable as to why they would be generalized here as 'elsewhere' reports rather than directly named. I would even consider the ''[[National Post]]'' to sometimes be on the fence when it comes to more controversial topics. Are there more reliable sources that can be provided which directly refute the gravesite claims? Otherwise, I'm going to have to agree with Rob.

***:::We are in a uniquely difficult situation here, as widespread initial reporting is slowly being directly challenged by subsequent reporting. That is still no reason to abrogate our responsibility. Perhaps a balanced article should simply acknowledge that there is conflict on the question.
