This article is rediculous and not based on credible sources

If Mr. Salama did actually say that, than he should be embarrassed. Offshore natural gas fields cannot be discovered by fisherman, they are discovered by multi-million-dollar exploration companies that survey fields for years and conduct test-drilling and even then there is a 50-50 chance they are wrong. If this wiki-page is meant just to inform that this article had appeared somewhere, than it should stay. But if this is presented as actual facts, than there is still much left to be desired.

This wiki page is a published news article, reporting that Salem Salama said these things to the press on Monday and Tuesday, and that Ziad Al-Zaza said something to the press downplaying it. A key element of English Wikinews policy is that we try very hard to report only objective fact. Claims and opinions can be reported, while only stating objective facts, by attributing the claims and opinions to who said them. As the reviewer of this article, I was satisfied that Salama and Al-Zaza did say these things. A news article is a snapshot in time; per our policy, it can only be substantively changed for the first 24 hours after publication (which in this case had already passed before you posted your first comment). If we discover we got something wrong, which occasionally happens, and it's past the 24-hour mark (or is so severe that the article can't reasonably be "fixed"), we attach a {{correction}} notice to it. (It would be somewhat tedious to work out how often such errors are known to have occurred in a given year, because they're primarily sorted by when they were corrected rather than when they were published. An easily observed overall statistic, fwiw: out of about 20 thousand articles, we have correction notices on 79 of them.)
