Hi there. I noticed that you have added YouTube links, as sources: in this edit, this edit and this edit. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, YouTube videos are not considered to be good WP:RS. Is it possible to find an alternative source? Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 15:21, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the info Martinevans123. I will remain as impartial as possible. Please feel free to let me know if there is any information I post which is not as neutral as it could be. I understand your point about YouTube videos, but in many cases they are the only historical reference available, especially in the world of action sports where a videographer may be the only witness to a certain event, and his footage the only proof that the feat actually happened. However, when possible I will try to cite articles from websites (which more often than not will contain little more than a written explanation of the action in the embeded video) as source material rather than just linking to the YouTube video. In the case of videos from Candide's official YouTube channel, how do I prove that the material real and copyrighted by Candide Thovex or a production company that he owns or in which he is a partner?
