Question from Jcgonz3 (07:00, 27 November 2022)
Hi hello!

I am new to this, so any tips that you might have for a new editor would be greatly appreciated.

One question that I have is regarding the sources. How do you find sources regarding niche topics? --Jcgonz3 (talk) 07:00, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey, @Jcgonz3! It highly depends on the topic you're looking in – the relevant wikiproject might have some guidelines on trade publications, or Google Scholar and the Open Library might be able to help you out. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:12, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * , I second what leek said above (and wikiprojects are explained here), plus The Wikipedia Library is a fantastic resource once you've been around long enough to access it. But what specific topic(s) are you looking for? There's a good chance I or someone watching my talk page will be able to help more specifically. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:56, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, thanks for your all your help. One topic that I was having difficulty finding reputable sources or information on was a topic that just popped into my feed. It involved Hyatt Regency Dallas, and the article was written like an advertisement. When I tried looking for sources, a lot of them were just reviews, advertisements, etc. Jcgonz3 (talk) 05:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * , WikiProject Travel and Tourism might have some useful resources for that, or its talk page might be a good place to ask for advice. Epicgenius has a lot of experience with this type of article – chime in here if you want, Epic! — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:09, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping ezlev. @Jcgonz3, you may want to check out historic newspapers on somewhere like Google News, Library of Congress or a regional library. Some states have their own newspaper collections; for example, the Texas Digital Newspaper Program, the Texas State Library, and newspapers.com may have newspapers that you could look at (newspapers.com requires a subscription, but after editing for 6 months and making 500 edits, you can get a subscription for free through the Wikipedia Library). I see you haven't had much luck looking through newspapers, so I'd recommend you search for any books, magazines, etc. that mention the subject. If you find a good source that you can't access, you can ask at Resource Exchange, since they can frequently provide a copy of the source for you. – Epicgenius (talk) 20:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
