@BuySomeApples: thank you for your notes! I'd left the comment below after asking on the help board about citing social media as sources. Essentially, some awarding organizations cited in the draft do not have archives of previous years on their websites which could corroborate the award, but their social media accounts do. Would it be best to remove those sources and awards altogether? --Sorwenes (talk) 19:22, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
I have added some references citing Facebook and Instagram as sources, which I completely understand are not considered reliable under Wikipedia's guidelines to referencing. Unfortunately, the websites of many of the festivals mentioned here do not keep archives of previous years' awards, or rely on secondary platforms such as FilmFreeway which also do not provide archived lists of awards. These organizations will often rely on their social media accounts as a means to keep archives. I sourced only materials published by the official social media accounts of the festivals themselves. Hopefully this helps clarify the rationale behind those references, but happy to discuss, adjust, or amend as necessary. --Sorwenes (talk) 21:01, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Sorwenes: thank you for explaining! Yeah it probably is better to just remove the awards if there are no sources other than social media. On the bright side, there's no time limit as long as you keep working on the draft (don't let it go dormant for more than 6 months) so you can work on it piecemeal if you want.
