Article Creation
[edit]Hi Mystery13 I've noticed you've taken in interest in Formula One engineering and the personnel who design and operate the cars. I'm currently in the process of creating articles for all major F1 personnel and have made significant progress, I have a list of article on my user page that need to be created but unfortunately I have exams until the end of May so thus it is unlikely that I will progress on these pages. If you want you could help create and finish some of these and because I have a permission known as 'Autoparolled' I can get them approved. Currently I've almost finished creating a page for Aston Martin F1, Trackside Engineering Director Tom McCullough if you want to finish it by adding references you can go to User:Ralphster7/Tom McCullough where you will find the partially finished article. Thank you for adding more car designers on both McLaren and Ferrari, really appreciate it.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 22:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message, I was citing a blog from Animas, an ICF accredited life coaching school (the largest, or second largest in the UK), as such, why should that be considered "unreliable"?
- Shouldn't this be considered a "magazine blog" instead (which is classified as a "reliable source" in the guidelines)?
- Just trying to understand this for future contributions and avoid misunderstandings. Thank you. Mistery13 (talk) 22:52, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- That carve-out is for journalism - something like a blog hosted and run by the editorial staff of a major magazine (for example wired.com). It does not apply here. Paying dues for a trade organization's accreditation does not imbue reliability. Nor does happening to be hosted by one university or another. Since you seem to be having trouble with this, I highly recommend you avoid all blogs and self-published media altogether. There is no shortage of stuff to write about that comes from major newspapers or peer-reviewed journals. MrOllie (talk) 23:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining, Anyway, being accredited doesn't involve only paying a fee, they have adhere to specific standards that are in line with the ICF as well, or they would loose the accreditation.
- Regarding the Harvard blog, I don't think that they just publish things without any revision, because it is on their official website, and their reputation would be on the line.
- Anyway, maybe is just me... Mistery13 (talk) 23:20, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
