Quick reference-reliability question

[edit]

Hello, do you think that this citation by independentaustralia.net is reliable and can be used? I believe it is, but I haven't encountered this publisher before, so I wanted to double check. Cheers! Johnson524 15:21, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it's fine. Nanonic (talk) 15:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Nanonic: Thank you 🙂 Johnson524 15:41, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
independentaustralia.net is listed in User:Headbomb/unreliable.js as a "generally unreliable source". I'm not sure what caused it be listed there, (perhaps User:Headbomb can comment), but I would not use it without first discussing the particular page you want to cite at WP:RSN.

@CodeTalker: I didn't know about this, thank you for telling me so I can double check. Cheers! Johnson524 06:11, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In general, such questions are best asked at our Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard (WP:RS/N).  --Lambiam 04:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
