Numbeo claim on safety ranking

Added under the heading of Crime and Safety, the following excerpt has been added, citing an article published on Issuu, written by the Marhaba Information Guide, that is based in Doha, Qatar .

"Qatar has been ranked the "world's safest country" by a Numbeo crime index of 142 world countries.^[1]

Numbeo has continued issues over verifiability or veracity of data sourced, since it is entirely user reported and open to easy manipulation.

As excerpted from the article linked above

"Data on Numbeo is not peer-reviewed, and could be inserted or altered by anyone accessing the website. It has been criticized for its inaccuracy due to its ease of statistics misuse and general disinformation."

Therefore since Numbeo is considered unreliable, any news articles, etc that cite Numbeo itself should be taken with a pinch of salt — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harbin91 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
