Please read WP:RS and WP:VERIFY. An undergraduate student is not a reliable source by our criteria. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 21:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Doug is correct, Jardycoho. And welcome to Wikipedia! Mystylplx (talk) 21:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Can you provide a link or explain how Wikipedia criterion says that? Jardycoho (talk) 21:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- I provided two links above for you to read, just click on the blue links. The first includes the statement that "Reliable sources may be published materials with a reliable publication process, authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject, or both.". We have a board where you can discuss your link, WP:RSN, but it seems to me fairly obvious that undergraduate students wouldn't be reliable sources for an enyclclopedia. Would you have any confidence in the World Book or the Britannica if articles were written by students without even a Bachelor's degree? Dougweller (talk) 04:47, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
