Khamis Gaddafi
I have some trouble with a recent edit you made to the biography on Khamis Gaddafi. Both sides in the Libyan conflict have used propaganda, and have been manipulative of international media, if not outright lying to it. So adding the phrase "it was proven to be false" seems to place Misplaced Pages in the position of choosing one untrustworthy side over the other, and that's something we need to avoid here. Even the Fox News article the phrase was sourced to only refers to "a man Libyan state television said was Muammar al-Qaddafi's youngest son". If the source is unsure, then we can't use it to make a definitive claim one way or another with words like "proven". Thanks!--Objectively (talk) 15:32, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
