Hi, not sure if it's appropriate to ask here... I just finished reading a book, and am editing it's Wiki article. The book is not well-known, so there's little-to-none online sources. I know the information is true because I literally have a physical copy of it, how could I source the information?? Or is "I read the book" enough? [[User:Lolapossum\|Lolapossum]] ([[User talk:Lolapossum\|talk]]) 21:23, 22 September 2024 (UTC) :What is the article? And the book? No, saying you know it's true because you've read the book is not good enough. You must supply a source that should be a [[WP:RSS]]. If the source is not good enough, others might dispute it. First however is that you give more information here. [[User:Roger 8 Roger\|Roger 8 Roger]] ([[User talk:Roger 8 Roger\|talk]]) 21:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC) ::The book is "Ransom" by Lois Duncan. I didn't add much but a few character names and changed the page number. I added a Google Books link to external sources though [[User:Lolapossum\|Lolapossum]] ([[User talk:Lolapossum\|talk]]) 21:54, 22 September 2024 (UTC) The same video on [[Wikipedia:RefToolbar]] works fine.
