A couple of tips

 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia or IMDB) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Do not mark edits as "minor" if there's any substance to them. Minor edits include reverting undeniable vandalism, grammar fixes, spelling corrections, and formatting.
