			== Administrators' newsletter – August 2024 ==
	I'm confused about the source citation and why it violates wiki policy. The source is a Doctor who is respected and skilled in the art. Is it because the location of where the report is published that is the problem? I am aware it is also published elsewhere but cannot find it at present but believe it to be on a public news site. I just did'nt get what the complaining editor (Zhanzhao) was on about by saying that the reliable source needs to be on some news outlet site. As far as I was aware, this was not wikipedia policy. Can you assist with my understanding on this subject. Appreciate your input. I'm a noob by the way.] (]) 16:23, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

	:Hello there, the policy your document violates is ]. Your document seems to be a ] and the fact that its ''author'' may be a doctor or other reliable author cannot be independently verified. He or she may be what you say - the problem is that unless this can be verified by an impartial external agency such as a news organisation or academic journal, the document cannot be relied on. So as it stands the document cannot be used. If it is published and described by a reliable, independent third party then it ''may'' be acceptable - but it would be wise for you to check this on the talk page of the article first. Please do read the page on ] fully and carefully; it will answer all your questions about why your source is not acceptable as it stands. And do ask here for more help, by all means. ] ] 16:43, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
