Find third party sources
editWikipedia is a summary of what has been published. When adding information to Wikipedia, add a citation to the source from which the content came. Never cite sources published by organizations with a financial relationship to the subject of the article.
I just removed a lot of content backed by self-published sources. This is a 50-year old organization that manages a lot of money. Surely there must be some historical record of its activities published somewhere. There ought not be a need to cite promotional publications to fill out this article. I see that another reviewer of this article, GermanJoe, has this guidance posted on his personal userpage -
- Use reliable, independent sources (WP:RS) to include significant encyclopedic information.
- Use self-published sources as rarely as possible, and only for common uncontroversial information.
- Avoid all qualifiers for knowledge, quality, size and success (WP:NPOV, WP:PEACOCK).
- Avoid trivial listings, tedious boring details, and vague PR speak with no tangible facts.
It seems fair to share here as one person's opinion. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
