Self-published encyclopedia

@Irath2024 In response to your post on my Talk page after I undid your addition of a reference to a self-published book. "Does [the book being self-published] provide you the right to remove it anyway?" Yes it does. "Great books are self-published and this is the case of this one. I have read it and it is." Wikipedia isn't a book review site: you want Goodreads. Maybe the book is a well-written or maybe not. A positive online review from an unknown person does not make something part of established knowledge; we look to peer review and to reputable publishers to establish that. For all we know, you could be the author of the book. Take a look at the guidelines at WP:QUESTIONABLE for more about Wikipedia's policy on sourcing. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 12:57, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Established knowledge? It is up to the readers to establish knowledge by having access to maximum references, not you. They are enough smart to select one reference or another. With a view like yours, Arxive would have closed long time ago, yet thanks to it many domains have progressed so fast by opening for free so many publications.

The software platform that Wikipedia runs on, MediaWiki, is available for free. You can download it or find a hosting service, then run your own online encyclopaedia without Wikipedia's requirement for reliable sourcing or its prohibition on original research. If you're going to stay here, please learn what this community is trying to do, through the introductory links which have been shared on your Talk page and here. This is another friendly warning that if you're here to tell us our policies are wrong and that you want to ignore them, you'll be wasting your time and the community's.
