Wukai re-added a self-description of Gina Ortiz Jones that was sourced to EMILY's List, a partisan organization dedicated to getting Jones elected. That clearly is not the kind of source we'd want for an encyclopedia article. Furthermore, our content should be a summary of what independent sources have reported about Ortiz Jones. This goes particularly for the lead of the article, which should summarize the body and shouldn't just repeat what Ortiz Jones says about herself. If the information in that self-description is relevant, we can find independent sources and add it to the body of the article. Huon (talk) 23:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

AlsoWukai, the reason the source is linked to that website's front page is because that is not the kind of television series whose website has links to each individual episode (in fact, many TV series' website don't). Where is the guideline that says that that can't still be used? Also, it is incorrect that you have to sign in to the website to view that episode.
