Hang Tuah
Hello, and welcome to wikipedia! You asked a question why we didn't include sources that claim that Hang Tuah is chinese. The reason is that no notable historical sources support this theory, only websites and blogs. As any ordinary Joe can write a website or a blog like that, Wikipedia cannot accept these as sources, since we aim to create a reliable encyclopedia. If a newspaper publishes a story on the theory, or if a noted historian publishes a book about it then it will deserve inclusion in wikipedia. Please see this policy page- it says ''Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, and then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources.'' Borisblue 16:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
