Self-published sources

Hi. With respect to your recent additions to Palliative care and Hospice care in the United States, you seem to be sourcing information about The Dying Center in Santa Fe,NM to a connected source. This is usable in an article about the subject, but it should not be used to source information in other articles about it. For that, you need second-handed sources that are not connected to the Dying Center or its founders. Please see Wikipdia:Verifiability. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:45, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'm afraid one generally doesn't on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, and we rely on secondary sources for our information. Before the Living/Dying Project is included in Wikipedia, it should be written about by others. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
