References[edit]

Thanks for the message. References don't have to be online to be reliable. The key factor is verifiability - for example a reference in an old newspaper is acceptable because the hard copy will exist in a library somewhere and presumably someone could actually go and check it to see if it supports the statement(s) being made. That's why the {{cite news}} and {{cite book}} etc templates have fields that pertain to online and offline sources. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 19:25, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
