User blog:Maopyon/Citing Websites

This blog post is currently in progress (as you can tell by the lack of links). C: However, I do encourage any suggestions or changes you guys are interesting to see.

I pretty much am making a list of types of websites or accounts one can use as references for the pages. Being a online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, references as highly encouraged to keeping the wiki reliable and prevent vandalism. I have made a list of types of websites/accounts that goes from most reliable to least reliable.

Type A: Official Hello! Project related websites and accounts
As far as we know, any website made, used and/or managed by Up-front members (current or former) are the most reliable sources for this wiki. It is currently the most encouraged websites/accounts for use as references. Below are a list of websites and accounts that are currently known for being official.

I will add a list of websites and accounts here soon, but YossieKaorin from Hello!Online has made a thread titled "list of Hello! Project related official blogs and homepages" for your convenience. :)

Type B: News sites with press credentials
If type A were to not have any information regarding a certain event, type B would be the next best solution. Journalist with press pass would be allowed to be in the press area and interview the members. We encourage to add these as references even if type A references are used as it will back up the content.
