English sources for the English language Wiki

[edit]

Sources for the English Wikipedia need to be in English. English readers should be able to read them, and Wiki editors should be able to check them.

Dear IP,
I see you've had a nice, productive couple of hours on 29 March 2008 on your tagging spree. I will not argue that the article couldn't use better sourcing, but then again...
WP:RSUE goes like this: "...editors should use English-language sources in preference to sources in other languages, assuming the availability of an English-language source of equal quality..."
and here is another qoute from Template:Fact, which would also nicely apply here:
"If you have the time and ability to find an authoritative reference, please do so. Then add the citation yourself, or correct the article text. After all, the ultimate goal is not to merely identify problems, but to fix them. Many editors object to what they perceive as overuse of this tag, particularly in what is known as "drive-by" tagging, which is applying the tag without attempting to address the issues at all."
