About sources and citations

Sorry to keep reverting your addition to Indianford, Wisconsin, but it doesn't meet Wikipedia (WP) standards. Here are some things to know about sources and citations:

All content in Wikipedia needs to be supported by reliable sources.
Reliable sources are generally published sources, such as books, magazines, and newspapers, or their online equivalent.
Self-published sources are not considered reliable. Anyone can put up a blog or personal webpage. We have no idea about the soundness of what they write there.
A source must directly support the facts that are added to WP; just being on the same topic is not enough.
Citations are placed at the end of the statements they support.
Citations should be in the format supported by WP's Manual of Style. Here are some templates that help with that: WP:CIT

In the case of your most recent edit, this is not a reliable source because it's self-published. (Notice that on the homepage of the website you cited it says: "I decided to create my own website.") It's on a free page provided by some person's ISP (in this case, Charter). It's good that you've taken the effort to improve the Indianford article. Let's hope you can find some reliable sources for your additions. Maybe you can find some info here or here. 32.218.36.158 (talk) 18:10, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
