Talk:Steve Abbott (politician)

the original research tag was taken down, but I am going to bring it back because information from the first half of his bio was taken from his own website. For information to not be "original research" it must be based on a reliable secondary source. Aliciakeyzz (talk) 18:20, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Taking the information from the subject's web page does not make it original research. It does mean we're relying on a primary source, but unless we're drawing inferences that aren't present on his web page, it's not OR. Further, if it's basic biographic information (e.g., place of birth), the primary source is fine. For things like any college athletics career, though, that needs secondary sourcing. —C.Fred (talk) 18:29, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
