			*{{u\|Dotyoyo}}, sorry I didn't see your comment. Just because you're not able to access the WSJ piece doesn't make in unverifiable, that's not how [[WP:V]] works. The WSJ piece, written by Martin Sherman, says "{{tq\|Mr. Spencer says that Israel is setting the “gold standard” for avoiding civilian casualties.}}"[https://www.wsj.com/opinion/israel-must-can-and-will-win-hamas-defeat-rafah-war-gaza-22e9a19d] Given its an opinion piece it can't be stated as fact, and must be stated with attribution.
			*Can you show me where The Atlantic retracted the "gold standard"? I missed that.
			* MWFwiki proposed two approaches, I favor the first one, you favor the second one. '''[[User talk:Vice regent\|VR]]''' _{(Please [[Template:Ping\|ping]] on reply)} 19:26, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
