Q1: Can I use a particular article as a source?

A1: What sources can be used in Wikipedia is governed by our reliable sources guideline, which requires "published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". If you have a question about whether or not a particular source meets this policy, a good place to ask is the Reliable sources noticeboard.

Q2: I found a post on Twitter, a YouTube video, or a blog that relates to Sweet Baby Inc. Can I use it as a source in the article?

A2: All sources used in the article must comply with Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. Self-published sources cannot be used for content on living persons. If such sources were used, then gossip, slander, and libelous material may find its way into the article, which would tarnish the quality of Wikipedia's information and potentially open up Wikipedia to legal action. For further information, please read the guidelines for sources in biographies of living persons.

Q3: Why is Wikipedia preventing me from editing the article or talk page? Why is this article biased towards one party or the other?

A3: Content on Wikipedia is required to maintain a neutral point of view as much as possible, and is based on information from reliable sources. The article and its talk page are under protection due to constant edit warring and addition of unsourced or unreliably sourced information prohibited by our policy on biographical content concerning living people (see WP:BLP).

Q4: The "reliable sources" don't tell the full story. Why can't we use other sources?

A4: Verifiability in reliable sources governs what we write. Wikipedia documents what reliable sources say. If those sources are incorrect or inadequate, it is up to other reliable sources to correct this. Wikipedia's role is not to correct the mistakes of the world; it is to write an encyclopedia based on reliable, verifiable sources.

In addition, this article falls under concerns relating to content on living persons. Sources that discuss unverified or unsupported claims about living persons cannot be included at all—including on the talk page. Editors should review the talk page archives here before suggesting a new source from non-mainstream sources to make sure that it hasn't been discussed previously.
