:bulletblue: It's well known to the best writers, the more you read, the better you write. Part of being a Master Debater (or Cunning Linguist) is being succinct in your writing. So the dAPF Source Library supports both *WordCount and ~da-library. The best places to find good writing.

I think we need a separate section..because this seems to me quite a vast topic (along with cases etc..). I tried googled .. but not much things helped. Maybe we need to find from other sourses as well.. hm.. do some polls, maybe ?
Nevertheless, thanks for noting this down :thanks:

I'm not really sure. I just recently changed the Elections section to one for the US and one for everyone else. The one for everyone else is still blank. Maybe we need a separate section for Voting Machines or Voting Systems?

Nevertheless, I don't have anything right now. When I start from scratch I usually check Wikipedia's sources first and then make sure they're reliable and try google. Sometimes I know some of the major sources like the UN or government agencies, but in this case, I don't know the specific laws or companies making voting machines...

Ok, I can't remember anything specific, but I do vaguely remember seeing a strange article about an Israeli organization, that when researched turned out not to be in existence. Could just be me, Thank you!

And so far, I haven't seen anything dubious from ynetnews.com. It looks like a legit source on Israeli news (though it may have a bias toward Israel, but I haven't seen anything glaringly biased).
~kornwithakay:iconkornwithakay: Nov 24, 2007, 5:09:03 PM
ok. Makes sense.

If something isn't listed in the dubious sources, that doesn't immediately validate it, just that it probably hasn't been suggested yet. If you think it's dubious, I'll check it out (no one's submitted it yet).

Also, if you see a source elsewhere in the Library you think id dubious, drop us a note or if you'd like to vouch for a source listed as dubious.

I try to only list sources that are very obviously dubious and only very reliable sources elsewhere (so that we don't get into Wikipedia-style bickering over the value of average sources). So in other words, I try to keep the top echelon of good sources and the bottom echelon of really terrible sources so we know what we can trust and what not to give the time of day.

I have a Question, what is ynetnews? I thought it might be a dubious source, but it wasn't listed as such?

The Source Library is intended to compile hard evidence and commentary on hard evidence. Usenet groups aren't really primary sources or always commentary on primary sources. Thanks for the links though.

I don't know if this could be construed as a first person source, but [link] (talkorigins) has quite a large database of information on evolutionary biology.

The Internet is Serious Business

I believe in Micro-Plate Tectonics but not Macro-Plate Tectonics. Sure, elevation can change a few inches here and there. But a few inches over millions of years could not possibly produce a mountain.
