Using yourself as a source
Hi, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, I notice that you appear to be using articles written elsewhere by you as the sources for information you are adding to Wikipedia articles. Please note that Wikipedia does not consider self-published sources to be reliable sources. Citing articles written by yourself also raises questions of conflict of interest. Please use reliable sources that are independent of you as citations for Wikipedia content. Thanks, —Jeremy (talk) 22:11, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Whoops! I wasn't aware. My most recent article source is NME. Could I site a double source? Nikki
 * As far as I'm aware the NME meets the Wikipedia criteria for a reliable source. —Jeremy (talk) 22:20, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Is there a process to become a reliable source at Wiki? SSG Music is an accredited source in Google News. Nikki


 * It's not so much a matter of becoming a reliable source. The Wikipedia community have set out criteria for what are considered reliable sources at Identifying reliable sources. As I mentioned above, if you are publishing your articles yourself, you are unlikely to be considered a reliable source by these criteria (see the section on self published sources).—Jeremy (talk) 21:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! --NIkki
