How can I reference a personal experience? Ttrimaldi (talk) 16:14, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ttrimaldi, you have asked an important question that all of us users on Wikipedia have pondered at one time or another. Wikipedia has a strict policy of "no original research", see Wikipedia:No original research, which states in part: ..."Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist." However, for your edit, I was able to find a 'reliable source' and added it to the article. Just remember to add reliable sources for future edits. Regards.
