E-paper as source
Hi there, been a long time but I guess you remember me. Basically I found a very comprehensive coverage on a Pakistani international football player of the 1950s and I have intentions to soon do an article on him. Would like your input in this. The issue is that it is written on e-paper format so I'm not sure if that will be a problem, as it makes pretty hard to review and verify specially for someone who can't read Urdu. A bit blurry too which can even cause an issue for Urdu readers but I can make it work. The article on him was published on Nawaiwaqt which is a prominent Urdu outlet and a reliable source (User:Saqib/WikiProject Pakistan/Pakistani sources). It can be seen here (bottom left section). JayFT047 (talk) 22:47, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @JayFT047 apologies for the long delay. This source looks fine to me on the face but I do not know Urdu so cannot comment on the specific article. If you do use it, include the page number so anyone who wants to review the article can easily find it. Consider asking ask at WP:WikiProject Pakistan where there are editors who know Urdu if you want a more solid answer. Hope you have a happy New Year! S0091 (talk) 19:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
