::I may agree with that, but unfortunately editors seem intent on removing any mention of Dershowitz from the subject despite the fact that Dershowitz's article is directly on point regarding the article's subject matter. --''[[User:Brewcrewer|<span style="font family:Arial;color:green">brew</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Brewcrewer|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:#2E82F4">crewer</span>]] [[User talk:Brewcrewer|(yada, yada)]]'' 05:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

:::You mean Dershowitz's op-ed. On a subject, international and domestic Israeli law, that he has no expertise in. For the purpose of including what you've called [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Civilian_casualty_ratio&diff=next&oldid=404479500 facts], not opinions, which are demonstrably wrong. Heller is an actual international law scholar (and OJ is worth reading), Dershowitz is not. Dershowitz has even [http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=176243 declared] himself the enemy of international law and voiced his intention to delegitimize it. Why would you want to include this? [[User:Sol Goldstone|Sol]] ([[User talk:Sol Goldstone|talk]]) 16:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

::@ BrewCrew - being misled on the question of Dershowitz's plagiarism is no crime - but it's difficult to understand your defending him after you've been shown the evidence. The discredited Peters invented the word "turnspeak" and ascribed it to George Orwell and the book "1984" - much later Dershowitz does the same thing on the same topic.

Here is what matters as far as the wiki-RS policy:

A) Source is wiki-reliable and the content was published on a wiki-reliable publisher. That both could have an error here and there in their vast body of work, most reliable sources have such errors as well and this does not negate their status as notable wiki-reliable sources.
