DC Inside source for Green Allure
[edit]@Emiya Mulzomdao has removed the DC Inside source for the Green Allure section. I believe this is not the right way to go, because the Allure source lists participants by image rather than by name, making it difficult and time-consuming to verify Choi Hye-seon's participation, especially for non-Korean speakers. By comparison, the DC Inside source shows just the screenshot of Allure reposting Choi and her carbon credit certificate, which is much easier and faster: the DC Inside source is not included for its probative value, but for convenience, so I think it's a good idea to include it alongside the Allure source.

- DC Inside is an internet forum full of user-generated contents. What was linked as a reference is a post created by a random, anonymous person with zero reliability, not to mention it makes no difference from self-publishing an information and presenting it as a reference (WP:UGC, WP:RSSELF). I suggest finding and adding an article from more notable source. Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Reliable sources is a good place to start. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 23:57, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Emiya Mulzomdao I feel like we're not talking about the same issue: I'm not saying that DC Inside is a reliable source *on its own*, I'm saying that since the reliable Allure source is already cited, it's reasonable to include the DC Inside source *also*, strictly as a matter of convenience, because it's a still frame with English instead of a video with Korean. Do you see what I mean? I'm not sure how self-publishing came up, but just to be clear I am not the person who made that post on DC Inside. Kinerd518 (talk) 14:28, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- I get your point and my answer is the same. The reference must be judged on its own and an internet forum post doesn't belong to it. Since your goal is to clear up which part in said instagram post matters, you could include the link inside <!-- --> and put it next to the reference so that editors can refer to it, or notify about it in this talk page, but including it as a straight citation is against the policy.
