This page is part of the Libertarianism project and is currently a draft.
It provides a guide to editors of Libertarianism related articles for appropriate reliable sourcing.
It is modelled off the proposed examples: Wikipedia:Anarchism referencing guidelines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/Links to reliable sources discussions
For discussion of specific sources which have been judged for reliability, and verified against particular statements, see the WikiProject Libertarianism Annotated Bibliography.
Wikipedia policy remains the core requirement. This guideline extends policy, and other guidelines, and provides a basis for Libertarianism specific articles in that context.
The most stringent sourcing guidelines apply to Libertarianism related articles. Where this guideline is more lenient, and another sourcing guideline with stricter requirements apply–such as guidelines relating to Military History, Medical Reliable Sources, or Biographies of Living Persons–those source guidelines overrule this guideline.
WikiProject Libertarianism's articles aim to reflect the scholarly opinion available in high quality reliable sources: sources published by University Presses and Academic Presses, Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals, Fully Peer Reviewed Conference Papers at Scholarly Conferences, and, Dissertations Accepted and Made Available by Research Universities. Where such sources are unavailable, or do not exhaust the encyclopaedic literature on a Libertarianism topic, WikiProject Libertarianism makes use of the best available Reliable Sources.
In particular, WikiProject Libertarianism seeks to define scoping and the extent of the literature on a topic by reference to High Quality Reliable Sources in the first instance, and in the second instance by reference to the best available Reliable Sources.
Partisan sources are publishers who take an explicit stand on the issue of libertarianism. Partisan sources may be reliable in certain cases, explored below. However, when dealing with a Partisan source, different standards of evaluation of reliability apply.
Scholarly and academic publications should be considered the best source of reliable information on Libertarianism.
Academic sources which were not peer reviewed should be treated with a measure of suspicion. This suspicion relates to the easy access that scholarly authors have to producing high quality reliable sources. This does not render a source as unreliable, but it often indicates that SELF or PRIMARY may apply.
