[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]]. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that in one of [[Special:Contributions/Driftles|your recent contributions]] you cited a link to a source that may not be [[WP:RS|reliable]]. Sources considered unreliable should generally not be used to support statements. Information from an unreliable source can be challenged by other editors and removed. Reliable sources are generally those with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. [[WP:SELF|Self-published material]], [[WP:USERG|user-generated content]], and certain other outlets such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites or publications with a poor reputation for fact-checking may not meet these standards. If you are unsure about which sources are appropriate, there is a [[WP:RSP|list of sources]] that are considered generally reliable. Additionally, some WikiProjects have [[:Category:WikiProject lists of reliable sources|their own lists]] of sources that are considered reliable for that particular subtopic. If you are still unsure about a source's reliability, you can ask at [[WP:RSN|the reliable sources noticeboard]]. Thank you.
