Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? No. 7 out of 14 references for this article are the Company's own website. Citations are therefore heavily biased.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Yes. The last entry to the History Section was August 2016. Current updates are necessary to ensure relevance. The lead section needs more explicit explanations about NewBornTown's objective and purpose. Who are their customers and why do they use NewBornTown?

Sourcing

Hi ANNLF19271! I wanted to give you a bit of a head's up with sourcing. It looks like recently you added California Beaches to an article as a source, however be careful about using travel websites. There are a few reasons for this - the first is accuracy, as you can't guarantee the accuracy of what the site posts, especially if they don't have anything on the site that backs up their editorial process or if they have a clause in their ToS that states that they don't guarantee the accuracy of their content. (This last thing is a big indication that they likely take their content from somewhere else.) The second is that most often they're e-commerce sites since one of their main goals is to sell someone a service. For example, California Beaches allows people to start their hotel booking process through them - something that likely nets them a commission or some sort of advertising money.

Just be cautious about using these - it's usually better to use primary sources in this situation, like the official tourism website for the park or government. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:17, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, good job with this citation! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:18, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
