TraumaFacts

Your help desk question

Referring to this question, yes, we understand that the people who experienced something are sources. What we need on Wikipedia are reliable sources and what you say is original research. A journalist or someone working on a thesis for a degree could interview you and if someone in charge of making sure the facts were correct considered your story reliable, that could in fact be a source, but you have to go through that process first.

After reading another help desk response, I see I need to add verifiability as well. That will explain why we need to go through the process.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:21, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
