Does the Source Support the Claim? Read the Link Before Sharing It

A sentence may appear beside an institution's name or an official link. The next step is to open the page and understand its relationship to that sentence, rather than treating the name as a sufficient explanation. This method organizes reference reading without assessing a campaign or claiming an outside organization reviewed the article. Ask whether the original text supports the attributed statement in the same context.

Find the original page

Distinguish the originating publication from a screenshot and someone else's summary. Ask who published the material and whether the link reaches the complete text. If you only find an image, do not add context that is absent. You can record that the original page remains unread and postpone a conclusion about what it says. Keep the precise link when you find it so the page can be revisited.

Check the subject and scope

Read the relevant passage and surrounding paragraphs. Do they address the same issue, activity and context as the statement? Do they offer general guidance or describe a particular case? Review the visible date and record your access date. Do not invent a missing date or assume the text is the latest version. A page may provide useful context without establishing a particular event, so write down that limit.

Separate description from interpretation

Prepare two sentences: one summarizes what the page says; the other identifies the writer's inference. If the second adds a conclusion, do not automatically attribute it to the source. A familiar organization's name cannot replace the exact reference. Linking a proposed editorial framework to an organization's guidance does not make it an approved procedure. Label your interpretation accordingly and leave unsupported points open.

A suggested reading card records the publisher, page date, question addressed, scope, limits and access date. Use brief entries and a precise link. Empty fields are questions to follow up, not invitations to add imagined information.

An expressly fictional example: an imaginary page offers general report-writing guidance, while another post attributes verification of a particular activity to it. The card distinguishes the general guidance from the specific claim. This describes no real source or FundGaza verification.

Keep the limit visible

Before sharing the summary, check that your wording preserves this difference. Say the link provides context if that is its scope. If the passage does not answer the question, state that limitation without expanding the conclusion. This organizes reading; it does not establish outside endorsement or verification of an initiative.
