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"Data on Numbeo is not peer-reviewed, and could be inserted or altered by anyone accessing the website.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

Dear Wikipedia Editors,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request permission to update and expand the content of the Wikipedia page on Doha, as I have identified areas that need more depth and current information. My aim is to ensure that the page presents a more comprehensive and balanced representation of Doha, especially as the city continues to gain global recognition.

Proposed Edits: History and Economy:

Add details about Qatar's efforts to diversify its economy under Qatar National Vision 2030, moving beyond oil and gas to focus on sectors like tourism, education, and sustainability. Discuss recent economic challenges and progress, incorporating credible sources like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Labor Rights:

Introduce a balanced section on migrant worker rights and ongoing labor reforms, as this is an integral part of Qatar's international narrative. Information will be sourced from the United Nations LDC5 meeting and peer-reviewed articles. Transportation:

Expand the section to include updated information on the Doha Metro and other public transportation systems, with details on connectivity, ticketing, and recent developments sourced from Qatar Rail and MOFA. Tourism:

Add insights into Qatar's tourism initiatives and infrastructure improvements to better inform potential visitors. Geography and Climate:

Include additional details on seasonal weather patterns and topography using updated government and UN data, providing practical information for residents and visitors. Supporting Sources: The edits will rely on reputable and up-to-date sources such as:

The Encyclopaedia Britannica Qatar Rail Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State of Qatar United Nations Least Developed Countries 5 (LDC5) documents By incorporating these edits, I aim to enhance the page's objectivity, completeness, and usefulness for readers seeking a detailed understanding of Doha. I believe these updates will enrich the article by reflecting the city's current status and ongoing development.

Thank you for considering my request. I would be happy to provide a detailed outline of the changes or discuss them further if required.

Best regards,
