Reliable sources
We depend on our sources for the information in Wikipedia, so that means that the sources we use have be reliable. In WP:Identifying reliable sources, it tells you that "articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."

That means that we try to use sources such as ones that are published in scholarly journals – those are 'peer-reviewed' before publication –  and good quality media like the BBC or the The Washington Post.

Not every website has the "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" that is required by our sourcing policies, and it's not always obvious which ones are reliable, but one tip is to look to see if a source is sufficiently well-known to have a Wikipedia article. Then you can at least read about any problems identified with the source. Of course, a source not having a Wikipedia article is a signal that you perhaps ought to be looking for a better one. I don't think The Famous People meets our standards. --RexxS (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
