I'm Going to Take Care of Finding Sources edit
Hi all,
this is just to give a shout that since I started this article (during my session of moving away Shlomi from being exclusive to the Israeli development town, inspired in part by the fact that Shlomi happens to be my first name), and have some propriety and attachment to it, I am going to find the relevant sources and citations for it.
One question, though: can I quote my own homepage as a source? It's not even a weblog (whose posts are as far as I know, also acceptable as credible sources for wikipedia), but rather an old-fashioned home site made out of static HTML (but generated from templates) pages. Will it be considered “original research”? If it is, don't sweat and I'll try to dig some other sources.

- Generally speaking, self-published sources are not considered reliable (WP:SPS, WP:USERG). You can cite them in some circumstances though, as per WP:SELFPUB. Just follow WP:SELFCITE and use common sense, and you should be fine. Good luck. —Rutebega (talk) 20:48, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
