Below is notice I received on page Talk:Joseph G. Pinten.

Catholic-Hierarchy.org is the personal website of David M. Cheney. The website states "The contents are purely the responsibility of David M. Cheney." This clearly does not meet WP:RS, which states that self-published sources are not acceptable. Please find a reliable source for the information now sourced to Catholic-Hierarchy.org. 32.218.45.149 ( talk) 17:36, 15 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• I can confirm it is a personal website - it is mine! It is also well respected and is used worldwide. The last stats I see indicate it is currently cited in 9,785 wiki articles (several of which have just taken blocks of my info and pasted it in!).

Note that I have not and will not edit any citations because of the obvious COI. Likewise I will not edit the main body of this article. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. -- Dcheney ( talk) 04:41, 1 December 2014 (UTC) reply

The statement about not being a reliable source because self-published does not hold and is is obviously not true. The website has clearly stated sources which could not be more reliable. Just because there is someone who is running a website doesn't mean that they invented the information. The sources are clearly stated and are easily confirmed. See the information page http://catholic-hierarchy.org/about.html which links to the sources page http://catholic-hierarchy.org/sources.html. Lwangaman ( talk) 23:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC) reply

It holds true because Wikipedia has a certain definition of WP:RS and this fails it. Also, why are you arguing here and not WP:RSN where there is an active discussion? Elizium23 ( talk) 23:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC) reply

A discussion took place as to whether the website Catholic-Hierarchy.org is a reliable source that can be utilized on Wikipedia. This topic is located at Reliable Sources Noticeboard: catholic-hierarchy.org. Patapsco913 ( talk) 00:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC) reply

There is a template for references to the website within Wiki.-- Dcheney ( talk) 23:36, 8 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Tag for CH references

Greetings, References using this CH template can be tagged with {{Self-published source}}. Regards, — JoeHebda • ( talk) 13:40, 17 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Greetings, I added overcite notice and am wondering if it would be better to just list these in a seperate "Published works" article section? Regards, — JoeHebda • ( talk) 00:00, 1 July 2018 (UTC) reply
