Welcome!

Hello, Kevans27, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 00:00, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Citing an interview

While there are a few problems with working from non-independent sources (though they can probably be dealt with) I think the biggest problem is verifiability; is there any way that you can archive the interview? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

I took hand written notes, so I'm not really sure how to archive that. I understand the verifiability concerns. I don't think I can get a webpage up and running through my institution to publish notes from the talk. I feel like the best I can do is cite is as a first-person interview on X date at X location?

I'm sorry, but that really amounts to asking your readers to trust an unknown person on the internet. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:13, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
