Sources

Hi Flacmedia. Welcome to Wikipedia. As a new user, you may not know that Wikipedia has a fairly strict set of rules for what can be used as a source. You can review those rules at WP:RS. Basically, though, it needs to be a source with a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". This means things like major newspapers, some television news programs, books by high quality (especially academic) publishers, academic journals, etc. Blogs, fringe news sources, and similar things are never reliable. Note also that the rules are extra strict for information about living people, and even more strict when its negative info (see WP:BLP). I've removed several edits you've made because the sources you added do not meet those guidelines. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Swaraj

The claim made in this edit seems to be a pretty serious charge levelled at a living person and I notice that our policy regarding such articles has been brought to your attention in the past. A claim of that nature, made against a high-profile figure and his much-hyped book, is certain to feature in English-language news sources if there is any real substance to it. Ideally, we would need to be using a source such as The Hindu and we would also need to discuss how best to word any such allegations before actually stating them in the article. If you can find a decent English source then please could you raise the issue at Talk:Arvind Kejriwal. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 03:05, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've just done a quick search using Google and the only English sources I can see for the claim are Twitter feeds, Wordpress-type blogs and Facebook pages, none of which are reliable sources. However, Google does not always index Indian newspapers particularly well - perhaps you can find something that I have missed? - Sitush (talk) 03:17, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
