Hi - I was coming here to say something similar. Two points - first, please stop trying to use Leafypedia as a source - it would not satisfy our guidance at WP:RS. Second, your username seems to imply a connection with that website. If you have one, please read WP:COI and take the appropriate steps. Thank you Girth Summit _(blether) 15:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Girth, please accept my apologies I am new to this. Leafypedia is a reference blog which writes about the world of cannabis and all information published is from sources studies. I'm sorry, I thought it would be useful. Can I not reference this website, even if the content is relevant? I look forward to hearing from you. Leafy897 (talk) 15:57, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think User:Girth Summit is following this but I pinged them. No, I don't see how this website, which also seems incredibly commercial, meets the qualification of WP:RS. Drmies (talk) 16:05, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) Leafypedia is not considered a reliable source. If the reference blog publishes information from sourced studies, the more efficient approach would be to use those studies as a source (provided they qualify as a reliable source). _signed,Willondon (talk) 16:06, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is a blog, and therefore unacceptable as a source on this project. If it uses reliable sources, then use those sources to support any content you want to add here without reference to Leafypedia. You have not addressed the question of whether you are connected with that website. Girth Summit _(blether) 21:02, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
