Hi DiamondsRuby. I refer to your edit here: [1]. Do you have the pages from these sources, and would you be willing to share them with me? In any case, can you confirm whether the sources, in particular this one, confirms all of the nominees for the 2001 Teen Choice Awards, rather than just the winners? I'm planning on using this source at another article. Your help would be appreciated. Damien Linnane (talk) 07:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello Damien Linnane, I'm not sure about this because the source is from member User:RunningTiger123 in the article about the awards list of the TV show Friends in 2021. You can ask RunningTiger123. Thank you. ^-^ DiamondsRuby (talk) 19:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@Damien Linnane: I found that source via a ProQuest database at my university. However, I have since graduated so I no longer have access. I don't think that source contains all of the nominees, just some of them; from my recollection, the Teen Choice Awards released nominations in batches. I'll add that using a source to cite information without actually confirming that the information matches the source is at best questionable; per WP:V, The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, so it would be reasonably expected that you could verify the information referenced by the source. Consider checking if a local library has a ProQuest subscription that you could use to read the cited works. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:05, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@RunningTiger123: Thanks for letting me know; that's helpful in itself. I tried accessing it on ProQuest through the The Wikipedia Library but it's not coming up as available. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong there though. It's reassuring to hear you could definitely access it through ProQuest. I'll keep searching for a way to access it.

ProQuest is actually a collection of many databases and TWL only has a few, unfortunately. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:49, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Oh that makes sense, thanks for explaining. I requested the sources through Wikipedia:Resource Request, and someone actually already provided them to me in record time. So I can confirm one of the sources lists all the nominees, and the other confirms all the winners, so it's all good. Damien Linnane (talk) 03:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
