hello what's wrong?? I saw the bibliography was from linkedin and tabloids, so I deleted it. can you explain whtat I"m doing wrong

You're correct that LinkedIn profiles (and the like) are only of use for establishing what individuals say about themselves, not for establishing notability or basing the majority of an article on them. However, this doesn't necessarily require that they be removed on sight - it just means they should be used with care. Equally, you need to make a distinction between tabloid journalism and Tabloid (newspaper format) - the latter does not imply the former. If we know that a newspaper has an editorial process in place, then it can be used as a source - it's only where statements are contentious or potentially negative or misleading about living persons that we would be much more cautious about using certain types of newspapers as sources. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:38, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
