Can I use my company's blog or press releases as sources?
Press releases are considered self-published corporate materials and are generally not reliable sources for Wikipedia.
How can I tell if a source is reliable and independent enough for Wikipedia?
To be usable on Wikipedia, a news article should come from a reputable, well-established publication with a clear editorial process, a history of accuracy, and a willingness to issue corrections.
Can I use podcasts or YouTube as sources on Wikipedia?
Podcasts and YouTube videos are generally not considered reliable sources unless they're produced by established outlets known for their high editorial standards.
What are some differences between reliable and unreliable sources?
Wikipedia favors sources with a strong track record in the relevant subject area, not just those that are well-known.
