Citations
edit{{helpme}} I'm working on a discography section and I'm wondering if it's appropriate to cite http://www.soribada.com. It's a commercial music download site. Iamoxymoron (talk) 07:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'd say no, particularly as there must be more reliable sites for a discography (such as the publishing studio or artist website) and you can always cite the listing on the album cover (or equivalent). I suspect they crib their album data from somewhere else, and this source library might be worth tracking down. See Soribada for a background. To check sources of this type you can raise it for review on WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard which you may want to do for a second opinion which may well disagree with mine.
