So just to clarify, you think that:

1.) you can provide the correct source for another person's statement

2.) what you posted qualifies as a source even though you did not give one

3.) it's OK if the statement does not agree with the source

4.) you can justify your misattribution by cherry-picking a number that "roughly" agrees if you massage it

Bruh.

    1. Yes? I'm confused, is there no subject you're familiar enough with to recognise sources?

    2. Yes it does, it doesn't qualify as a reference, but luckily you're looking at the Wikipedia page so you can just click it instead.

    3. Yes, people make mistakes, but luckily sometimes other people like me are around to correct them.

    4. No, I can justify my attributionby the fact that there's only one (1) source that lists the dead by faction, the numbers just show how they misremembered the specifics of the source.

    This isn't some complex chain of advanced logic, I really don't understand what you're having trouble with.

    Well, it's true that this is very simple. I wanted the poster's source -- if there is one. Unless you're claiming to be them, you don't have that information.

    But since you seem very interested, do you personally think the CCP death estimate you keep presenting is accurate?

    You say the commenter above was wrong, but your tone suggests you still agree with them. Do you believe the rest of their narrative that student protestors were peacefully dispersed in song by the unarmed army choir?

    Do you recognize that CPC has a conflict of interest in providing accurate information about this, and that they continue to censor information about it to this day?

    OH what a surprise, it DOES turn out you were just here to JAQ off all along. You're as easy to see through as folahts' source is to find.

    Lol I finally ask something you're qualified to answer and suddenly you have no opinion.

    You could have just asked those questions 3 days ago when you got the source, why are you upset about being treated with the same respect you give?

    Do they look like equivalent questions to you?

    A source might give evidence for something that happened in the real world, while these last questions were about what goes on in that silly head of yours.
