== How do I find reliable Citations? ==

When I am editing on Wikipedia, how do I know that the source I am using is reliable? Are there anyways to find out that the citation is not deprecated or unreliable? I already know how to cite, but I am not quite sure how to check the quality of the sources. [[User:Phong062474|Phong062474]] ([[User talk:Phong062474|talk]]) 09:45, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Phong062474|Phong062474]] One possibility is to check [[WP:RSPS|the perennial sources list]] and its archives. As to deprecated sources, there's a good script you can set up at [[User:Headbomb/unreliable]]. [[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull]] ([[User talk:Michael D.

::That's a good advice. I will go and visit the pages later. [[User:Phong062474|Phong062474]] ([[User talk:Phong062474|talk]]) 05:23, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
:Hello, @[[User:Phong062474|Phong062474]], and welcome to the Teahouse. 
:Please read [[WP:Reliable sources]] for guidance. 
:Note that reliability is not absolute, but depends on what information it is being used to support. A fishing magazine might be reliable for information about fishing, less so for international relations. [[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 11:01, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
::A good way to check on whether a magazine is reliable is whether it has a named editorial staff. This isn't the ''only'' way, and it's not foolproof, but it's useful. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 16:57, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
::That's a good way to know if a source is reliable. I also know that pages that can be edited frequently (or if it has no authors listed) may be unreliable. Is this correct? [[User:Phong062474|Phong062474]] ([[User talk:Phong062474|talk]]) 05:25, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
