Reliable sources
[edit]One of the requirements for a source is that it be published (read WP:RS to learn about sources). Anyone can create a file and upload it to google.docs, that doesn't count as published. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 18:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- this is a primary source, that PEN America says is reliable. https://pen.org/book-bans-frequently-asked-questions/ --Ekweshwash (talk) 18:35, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Reliability according to PEN and according to Wikipedia are two different things. It would be better for you to cite PEN's database. Schazjmd (talk) 18:52, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

- A file on google.docs is a self-published source, please read the guidance there. Schazjmd (talk) 19:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
