Puzzled about issues
[edit]So, this entry (which is about me, BTW) is tagged with two issues:
This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (November 2015)
This biographical article relies too much on references to primary sources. (November 2015)
But how can those possibly be fixed simultaneously? Additional citations about who I am and what I have done are pretty much bound to be primary sources.

- Becarpenter Wikipedia works by relying on reliable, secondary sources which means that content needs to be sourced to non-primary sources, otherwise it should be removed (and may not meet wikipedia's guidelines on notability). Also, see the message on your talk page - you should make requests here rather than editing this article directly as it is about you. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 02:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- I understand about conflict of interest, except for trivia like correcting a broken URL. As for notability, somebody decided a few years ago to create short bio articles for various IETF Chairs - we are all equally notable or unnotable, I think. (There are also several listed at Internet_Engineering_Task_Force#Chairs who don't have bio articles.) But you ducked my question: what sort of citations are appropriate? For example, is [1] appropriate? Becarpenter (talk) 02:43, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
