Reliable source? edit

I’d like to help improve this article because it really has quite a few issues, but I think it might not be proper for me to edit it. One issue that’s already tagged is that most of it seems to be original research. And that’s why I shouldn’t be the person to fix it. Not that I don’t have (dubious?) cites, it’s that I’m the originator of the thought experiment the article describes.

Unfortunately, despite dating to before the existence of Wikipedia, I don’t think it qualifies as a reliable source. Anybody else have a differing opinion? jam (talk) 07:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

(I have added a section header - see wp:Talk page formatting. Hope you don't mind.)
No, indeed, that probably is an example of the least possible reliable source  .
There's some good sources out there. Perhaps they can help improve the article. Are there some specific parts that are unsourced or poorly sourced, that you suspect are original research? - DVdm (talk) 09:45, 28 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
