Arminden, what do you mean by "king USER will Thank us" in your recent edit summary? trespassers william ( talk) 21:35, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi. I came to WP as a user, and when editing I am still trying to offer the best & most practical information to other users (as opposed to editors, who may have a different focus). For smaller topics like Ein Qiniyye it's usually impossible to find info that pleases every WP regulator, which shouldn't mean that we leave out significant info that can be very useful to the USER (King User, like in a saying that exists in many languages, "the customer is king"). Think of a traveller. Or a student of Middle Eastern studies. Or a writer, travel photographer, tour guide, journalist etc. People who want to visit this or the other three Druze villages on the Golan and wish to know about it what a short visit won't allow them to learn. They are thankful for the info. When it's properly referenced, they can make up their own minds about how reliable the source is. This bit which I've put back in had already been deemed SIGNIFICANT by a journalist, so saying it's "anecdotal" seems funny to me, the majority of our sources are "anecdotal" in that sense - all except academic papers, and even those... We commonly use & accept websites, newspapers, books and alike w/o much reservation. I hope you can agree with me on this. Cheers, Arminden ( talk) 22:12, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Arminden
