Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Minimum wage, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 18:18, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- The source is mentioned there. I just brought an additional quotation for NPOV reasons. עדירל (talk) 18:37, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't know if you say Talk:Ziad_Abu_Ein but Misplaced Pages itself is not counted as a reliable source. Can you point to what source the Hebrew Misplaced Pages cites about the rearrest? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:32, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
