Regretfully failing per comments below; verifiability and paraphrasing issues are substantial, and best handled at leisure outside the review process. Vanamonde (Talk)03:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's clear that a lot of hard work has gone into this, but this is still some distance from GA status: there are issues with language and sourcing that are apparent after a quick look, and I have yet to check on verifiability or copyright. I'm going to start with the sources, and once those issues have been addressed, move to a spotcheck and then to prose and organization. I may make copyedits as I go, but that's only for trivial fixes. Vanamonde (Talk)21:25, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Facebook is almost never a reliable source; any post from there is an WP:SPS, and even if you could somehow show that the person making the source is an authority on the topic (this is difficult to do) there are usually better sources available. This is also the case with youtube, unless you're using a clip from the news media from a verified channel. I would say that all these sources, and the blogspot source, need to be replaced.
I used Facebook for one person, Dr Muzammil Abu Al-Qasim, who is a Sudanese sport journalist. I used Facebook when I could not find his news article but now I found one but could not find the second except in Facebook. The two sources however corroborate the same information. And I did that whenever I used a source that is perceived as no reliable. I know there is a counter argument - brutally articulated by a fellow editor - that "more rubbish can mount to a skip, not a reliable source" which I used
I usedyoutubefor an interview with Halim, in English, answering why CAF blocked Rhodesia
No, that's still a bit of a problem; the issue isn't that Halim isn't reliable for his own words, it's that it's a youtube video uploaded by an unverified account, and we have no way to say it's authentic. Vanamonde (Talk)02:31, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please also explain how the following sources are reliable: yumpu.com, hashmab.net, sudaress.com, olympedia.org, p2k.unkris.ac.id, worldleaders.net, koraapedia.com, beinsports.com, elaph.com, sudan-press.net, the Human Kinetics book, the AuthorHouse book, and alnilin.com. Please understand I'm not saying they're all unreliable, but in general if a source is not a book by a reputable publisher, a scholarly article, or a piece from a reputable media outlet, we begin by assuming it's unreliable. As far as I'm aware, for instance, AuthorHouse is a self-publishing company, meaning that unless the author is an expert on this topic we shouldn't be using it as a source.
first of all thanks for given me the chance to defend my work.
yumpu.com is the website that host the PDF of the article that was published in Sudan Medical Journal in Aug 2009:45(2), I tried to find the original one put could not. Modified to reflect tha
ref 14is written by Professor Hamd al-Neel, head of the Sudanese Doctors Syndicate in the UK and Ireland. His article and theKooraarticle, written by Journalist and play-writerNoman Hassan, both of them were used to verify one information that Abdel Halim was awarded the Order of the Two Niles which I can remove.
sudaress is not actually a source in itself, it a website that digitise Sudanese newpapers especially after the government crack down on free journalism. It is more of an online archive.Ref 10 is for an article that is published in "Last Moment" (Akhir lahza) which was constantly harassed by the General Intelligence Service (Sudan) before closing in 2020.
That's probably okay at the GA level, but you should a) make sure the citation information is for the news article you're actually interested in, and b) be sure that the news source itself is reliable. Vanamonde (Talk)18:33, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Y[reply]
Olympedia is a fairy reliable source, unless I am confused. According to Template:Olympedia it is used in 11,000 pages
p2k.unkris.ac.id removed. Found better source.
worldleaders.net removed and the sentence too.
koraapedia.com and beinsports.com removed. They were redundant anyway
sudan-press.net is fairly reliable and dependent from the government
Human Kinetics and removed as redundant, the page number is not also mentioned
alnilin.com is good news source that I used occasionally especially when I am writing about Sudan. It also scan digitise Sudanese newspapers - similar to sudaress - along with their own columns.
The rest of this looks okay; please note replies above, but I'll get started on spot-checks in the meantime. I don't speak arabic, and google translate is pretty terrible at it, so I may ask for a few clarifications; there are so many arabic sources that I really should check a couple.

FN1c; source makes no mention of the disease, why is this here?
FN1d; source doesn't support "Like many at the time"
FN1e/5c; neither source supports the date ranges in the text. Also, "as a house physician and then as a medical registrar" is the text in the source; the wording in the article is too close.
FN1f/4b; neither source supports the date for Hammersmith; 4b doesn't mention Hammersmith at all, so not sure why it's there
Based on the sentence I flagged above, I looked at Earwig's tool, and that result [1] is not good. Yes, some of it is common phraseology, and some of it is names, but there's a lot of phrases that are far too close. I'm sorry, but I think it's best if I fail this review now. I found verifiability issues with four of the first six citations, and I'm not even sure the last two are fine because there are multiple sources used that I haven't checked yet. And there's the close paraphrasing issue. It will make both our lives easier if you are able to work on this at your leisure, and if you renominate it, I will be happy to review this again. Wikipedia really struggles with articles outside the anglosphere, so I don't want to discourage you from working on this; it's an important topic. But this is a long way from GA status. I would suggest that you first eliminate the problematic sources from above; then, go to each footnote, open up the sources, and make sure the content in the article is only what's in those footnotes and no more. Once you're done, check through the most authoritative sources to ensure you haven't missed anything. Best, Vanamonde (Talk)03:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
