I have recently added the autobiography, i.e. the book White Masai to the list of references for article on Corinne Hofmann. However, I am wondering, if I did the right thing. The instructions do not say anything particular about autobiographies. Could You, please, clarify the policy for me ? Thanks ! SlovakBarbie (talk) 19:57, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In general, self-published sources are not accepted as reliable sources, according to WP:SELFPUBLISH. In the case of the first sentence where you use it ("most famous for her multi-million selling memoir Die weisse Massai (The White Masai)"), I would suggest some sort of news article talking about both the fact that she is most famous for it and that it sold multi-millions. You also should clarify if you're talking about money or units sold. The other two usages of it are probably not verifiable, so I would suggest using some other source that isn't self-published.
