This news service is obviously biased. Therefore, it is not a reliable source of information and cannot be used as a reference. Constellation2023 (talk) 08:57, 9 February 2017 (UTC) Welcome Constellation2023 to your first day editing Wikipedia! Perhaps you would like to cite some evidence for your view? I see that all of your 5 edits to articles have already been reverted for one reason or another, can I suggest you read the Wikipedia policy on verifiability? Batternut (talk) 10:34, 9 February 2017 (UTC) Of course this outlet is biased! Who isn't anyway? But to claim it's not is plain ignorance, or an indication of bad will. Here's one: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ara-news/ 195.142.50.207 (talk) 12:48, 4 April 2017 (UTC) What do you think about the bit where mediabiasfactcheck says that ARA News is "generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation" and "Factual Reporting: HIGH"?

Advertisement like content

So what if a paper was referenced a hundred times or a hundred thousand times? It reads like an advertisement. Needforwiki (talk) 16:04, 8 March 2017 (UTC) That is its claim for notability, which is the requirement for the article's existence. I think an advert saying "Buy our newspaper, thousands of people read it!" would be considered a very good advert. And I don't think an advert would for a news service would boast of its ownership being unpublished. Batternut (talk) 19:45, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Downtime since late 2017?

Both http://aranews.net and http://aranews.org seem to have been down for some time. Right now the IPs are at Greenhost Network. Archive.org: archive.org 2017-11-17 - site OK, but most recent article highlighted on front page is of 2017-08-27. Boud (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

If the site is not back up within a month (e.g. by 16 March 2018), changing the tenses in the article from present to past will probably be reasonable. Boud (talk) 20:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Done. Boud (talk) 23:00, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
