Hello, I'm Swatjester. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, S-500 missile system, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 23:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My reliable source is the Newsweek article that can be found at: https://www.newsweek.com/atacms-russia-s-500-prometheus-attack-1918798#:~:text=Ukraine's%20forces%20may%20have%20struck,destroyed%20by%20ATACMS%20cluster%20missiles. Can you help me at this source to my submission? Gmattdavis (talk) 02:51, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source is reliable, but the claim is premature: Newsweek says: Ukraine's forces may have struck Russia's newest S-500 air-defense system using U.S.-supplied ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) missiles, according to a journalist in the country. -- they also note that it was without elaborating on when or where the system was allegedly destroyed and that Newsweek couldn't independently verify Tsaplienko's claim and has contacted Russian and Ukrainian authorities for comment by email. It may become usable in the future, if the claims become substantiated but at the moment, the claim wouldn't meet our verifiability and no original research policy standards.⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 03:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I understand the policy and agree. Gmattdavis (talk) 03:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The time of the attack and where the attack of the S500 system took place along with photos of the damage can be see on a Youtube article posted by Kanal13 Global. The article can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeucucNpilw This information is confirmed by the Kiev Post media outlet which provided video of the ATACM launches on June 29 and June 30, 2024 near the city of Yevpetoria, Crimea along with pictures of the resulting damaged S500 system. Can you help me include these sources in my submission please? I am currently blocked from making edits to this article. Thank you. Gmattdavis (talk) 17:05, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Youtube is not considered a reliable source by general consensus on this site; and the Kyiv Post is of very questionably reliability on this topic, having misrepresented claims in the past. We need better sourcing than that. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 21:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
