::Hi, [[User:Suriname0|Suriname0]]. Thanks for your advice. I managed to find a reliable source that mentions LeetCode contests thanks to [[User talk:Cunard|Cunard]]. I will be adding it to improve what I wrote. [[User:Maxim Lavrenko|Maxim Lavrenko]] ([[User talk:Maxim Lavrenko|talk]]) 05:17, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
::Hey, I added the citation for the first part of the paragraph about contests, and wanted to ask about the second paragraph. Is it possible to cite one of the latest contests, as https://leetcode.com/contest/weekly-contest-366/? The preview contains a lot of important information about how the contests are hosted, and it would be helpful to be able to cite it.

:::This is a great question. The most relevant snippet of Wikipedia policy here is [[WP:ABOUTSELF]], which tells us that we can, very sparingly, use self-published sources like that to verify details in an article. A related concern is [[WP:DUE|due weight]]: one of the primary ways we determine if a Wikipedia article should contain "important information" is if it has been described in a [[WP:RS|reliable source]], especially a secondary one. I would ask myself: if the detail I want to include hasn't first been described in a reliable secondary source, should it be included in the Wikipedia article? In some cases, the answer will be yes, but very often the answer is no. Please [[WP:BEBOLD|be bold]] and add the (referenced) information you think is important, and if another editor thinks it is undue they may remove it in the future! This is how Wikipedia articles get improved over time. [[User:Suriname0|Suriname0]] ([[User talk:Suriname0|talk]]) 19:06, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
