A fact from Guardians of the Dawn appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 February 2017 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that some fighters of the Guardians of the Dawn describe themselves as "mujahideen of the cross"?
After objections from
Applodion about applying the {{refimprove}} tag, I added the {{one source}} to the article. The article relies solely on a blog post by the author Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi on the website of
Joshua Landis. I looked up Joshua Landis and he is a legitimate expert (professor in the field of Middle East studies), but still the website seems to be of a blog/personal nature, and it's not clear how much editorial control or fact-checking is applied to the writing. I think, ideally there should be independent sources that corroborate this.
