Reliable sources - WP:RS
Hello Brookeedison, thank you for your efforts to improve referencing. However, please make sure to read WP:RS about Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources. Simplifying: blogs and other user-generated content are generally not considered reliable. Also, most commercial sites and PR platforms are discouraged as sources (due to their focus on selling stuff and marketing, instead of an unbiased presentation of factual information). Please avoid using such sources as references. If you are unsure about a specific source, you can also ask at WP:Teahouse (a general forum for new editors) or at WP:RSN (a specialized forum for questions about a specific source usage). I hope these tips are helpful, but please feel free to ask if you have any further questions - I'd be glad to help. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 19:36, 10 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello? Have you read the above comments? This is still important, and it still seems to be a problem. Real people are trying to communicate with you about it, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 03:10, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
