===Questionable sources===
Questionable sources are those that have a poor reputation for checking the facts, lack meaningful editorial oversight, or [[WP:COISOURCE|have an apparent conflict of interest]].
 
Such sources include websites and publications expressing views widely considered by other sources to be promotional, extremist, or relying heavily on unsubstantiated gossip, rumor, or personal opinion. Questionable sources should be used only as sources for material on ''themselves'', such as in articles about themselves; see [[#Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves|below]]. They are not suitable sources for contentious claims about others.
