A few months ago, I submitted a bio on a famous drummer friend of mine, Joe Yuele. I received a note that I needed to verify my sources. My source was Joe himself, who provided me with his bio. How do I cite this as a verifiable source? Thanks. -Jim — Preceding unsigned comment added by J. Klingtone ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
A webpage on the Internet, including public web forums. Wikipedia:Published says:
For Wikipedia's purposes, published means any source that was "made available to the public in some form".The question is whether such a publi9shed source is reliable and whether it contributes to establishing notability. In this case, the page should probably be considered as the equivalent of a press re4lease, which means that it is a self-published source, just like the subject's own web site. That means it is reliable for non-controversial facts about the subject, but not for controversial statements, not for exceptional or excessively self-serving claims, and not for anything about anyone else. It also means that it does not help at all to establish notability. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 16:43, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

An autobiography of the person who is the topic of the proposed article is not acceptable as a citation. Such an autobiography is s Self-published source It is generally an acceptable source, and is not infrequently the best source, about a particular topic. There ar some restrictions on using such a source: it can only be used if
1) the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim; 2)t does not involve claims about third parties; 3) it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source; 4) there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and 5) the article is not based primarily on such sources.Related to point 5 is the further restriction that such sources do not contribute to establishing notabili8ty which must be done through independent sources. That is why other sources should normally be sought first. Then, once notability is clearly established, self-published sources can be used. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 16:56, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Am2623 and welcome to the Teahouse. I am sorry that there was confusion and misunderstanding. Wikipedia now gets quite a lot of paid promotional editors, often wanting to promote marginal "celebrities" or businesses. This has made many volunteers wary.
When you uploaded the picture, you marked it "Own work" which should mean that you held the camera and clicked the shutter button. But the same image apparently appeared on Palli's instagram, which led people to conclude that either your statement of "own work" was incorrect, or that you must be closely associated with Palli if your pic appeared on her site. If the image is to be used in future, that would need to be clarified.
We do want to help new editors who intend to contribute to the Encyclopedia. But many people try to edit in ways that are not acceptable by Wikipedia's standards, and a good many of them get rather stubborn about it. There are good reason fro the various rules and practices that you ran into, but they aren't obvious at first, and in my view we don't do as good a job of explaining them as we might. It is not easy. Are there further issues that I or we can help you with at this time? DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 21:22, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
