Hello, I'm Kuru. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that in one of your recent contributions to Atagema alba, you cited a link to a source that may not be 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. Self-published material, 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 list of sources that are considered generally reliable. Additionally, some WikiProjects have 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 the reliable sources noticeboard. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 14:30, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- hi, thanks for notifying me! I'll try and find some more reliable sources in the future. :) LuciaBennett (talk) 14:50, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- also, i have a question about citing. When i have to edit a whole paragraph that has no sources/citations, do i have to find the exact sources that information is from or do i have to remove it if it has no source? and if i can provide information from my own experiences about a topic, how do i cite that? thanks.

- Ideally, every claim should be your own writing and clearly supported by reliable sources. In reality, there may be some obvious material that no one will ever challenge, but it is best practice to provide inline citations. Standards may differ depending on the subject matter. Articles about sealife are less likely to be contentious vs. articles about living people or politics. Sources like Grokipedia are right out - it's just AI/LLM-generated material that has not been verified. It's subject to the usual problems that plague LLM output right now.Sam Kuru (talk) 01:27, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- this helps. do i have to find a different source/citation for every new piece of information? like multiple pieces of information from a source in two different paragraphs. would i have to cite both of them with the same source?
- like can i use the same source for two facts?
- sorry for all the questions :,) LuciaBennett (talk) 02:51, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
