The easier it is to find your source, and the edit that it is trying to support, the more likely you are to get a response from other editors. The "Better way" examples provided will often get you more results here.
- It is very useful to include a direct link to a website-specific page, and text:
- Basic way: "Is oprah.com a reliable source for saying beef from Texas is no good?"
- Better way: Is the third paragraph of [http://oprah.com/chewytexasbeef this link] to the Oprah.com website a reliable source for this edit [insert diff here], that says beef from Texas is too chewy?
- RSN editors respond faster when you provide a full, linked citation to your source:
- Basic way: Is the book "Early Childhood Education Journal" a reliable source for the Kindergarten article?
Better way: Is the journal article, Strickland, D.S. and Worth, B.S. (1980) "Books for the children" Early Childhood Education Journal 8 (2): pages 58--60 doi:10.1007/BF01628031 a reliable source for the assertion that attending Kindergarten makes kids IQ's go up 200 points, as claimed by this edit [insert diff here]?"
- We like a wiki link to the affected article[s] you're talking about:
- Basic way: Some editors have been using bad sources about regional Australian towns.
- Better way: I'd like an opinion on these sources used about [[Newcastle, Australia]] and [[Wollongong]]'s populations, I've listed the sources in question below.
- Are there any relevant talk page discussions that could be helpful on this issue?
