[edit] References

This article is lacking/in need of proper references from reliable sources (other than the organization itself). --AbsolutDan (talk) 16:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Since the article makes no claims about the organization's importance, why isn't the organization itself a sufficient source of information about it? Rlitwin 17:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines states:
| Information on Wikipedia must be reliable and verifiable. Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources. Articles should cite these sources whenever possible. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
While the organization's own website can be used for some basic verification, sources other than its own website ought to be utilized. If such sources aren't available, then the article would also fail notability guidelines. If the article makes no claim about the organization's importance, that's a problem not an answer. --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
