About reliable sources

[edit]

Hello. Here are some information about reliable sources. For information on referencing citations in Wikipedia articles, see Help:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Inline citation, and Help:Referencing for beginners.

What are reliable sources?

[edit]

Reliable sources are sources that provide factual and neutral information that you can rely on when writing your article. Independent, secondary professional-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources are considered as reliable sources. Several newspapers, magazines and other news organisations host blogs which may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals, but use them with caution because the blog may not be subject to the news organization's normal fact-checking process.

Examples:

If you have questions or want to discuss the reliability of a specific source, you may visit the reliable sources noticeboard.

What are non-reliable sources?

[edit]

Non-reliable sources are sources that provides biased or questionable information. These should be generally avoided to use in your article. Sources that have poor reputation for checking the facts, lacking meaningful editorial oversight or have an apparent conflict of interest are considered non-reliable sources. Moreover, sources that are self-published or can be edited by the general public are not reliable. Because of this, Wikipedia is not a reliable source and you should never cite any Wikipedia articles.

Examples:

Why we need to provide reliable sources?

How can I find reliable sources?

[edit]

Google is your friend. Don't cite the search page, cite the address for specific results. Google Books, Google scholar, and Google News are especially useful, just make sure that the publisher is reputable.

We try to avoid a definitive list of what sources always are good because it can vary based on the situation. Still, the community is quite clear that some select sources are usually good and some sources are almost always bad.

Hope you have a more comprehensive and deeper understanding about reliable sources. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Teahouse, Help Desk or on my talk page. Happy editing!

Regards,
