[edit]Copperwiki is not an acceptable source. Please stop adding it as an External Link to articles here, as it will be deleted as you have seen in: Smog, Sleep, Loneliness, Silk and Wheat. Thank you. --Hordaland (talk) 19:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- You have today placed a query on my user page. Do not edit people's user pages without their permission. I have moved your query to my talk page, where it belongs. (If you should add some text to your own user page, your name would no longer be redlinked everywhere it appears.)
- IMO, copperwiki.org does not fulfill the requirements for reliable sources. See, among other guidelines, Wikipedia:Rs. --Hordaland (talk) 11:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- More specifically, the content on wikis is not vetted by reliable experts and is subject to rapid change without notice. Yes, this means that nobody should cite Wikipedia as authoritative, though we do the best we can. The relevant policy is Verifiability (see below for more), which indicates that we should avoid linking to sites whose content is not dependable. This is also covered by points 2 and possibly 4 of the External links style guideline. - Eldereft (cont.) 20:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
