Government documents

edit

In response to your question: is a government document citable, the answer is not a concrete yes or no but dependent on the situation and what you are trying to cite. The short answer is NO, there is nothing particularly wrong with using a government document as a cited reference. However, it is dependent upon what you are trying to say. In the case of a personal FBI or DOJ file on you, they would probably only be citable in an article ABOUT you. They would most likely not be pertinent to an article about other people. If you want to try and use your documents, the best thing to do would probably be to scan them and post them online as image files so they can be freely read by anyone. Then they will be freely available to all, and not require a paid and written request to those agencies (which may be denied). <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 01:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
