[edit] Re: Advice regarding citations

Hello there, sorry for the delay. Regarding your question about citations, if the mail and emails are public (in example, they can be checked in a site, book, magazine or another printed media), then you can cite them with the {{cite book}} or {{cite email}} templates. However, if those mails and letters are not public (in example, they were sent to you personally), then they can not be used, as that would be considered original research. I do not know how Wikisource works, but it might be possible to include that information as added value if you release the letters under a free license, and then point your references to Wikisource. Again, I am not sure if this is "legal", or if such letters can be included. Remember that editors need to prove the validity of their contributions, so unsourced statements can be deleted at will. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 20:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
