General advice for evaluating sources
The new pages patrol source guide is a useful resource that compiles the results of source reliability discussions. It has a lower standard for inclusion than the perennial sources list, and thus its listings are only as strong as the consensuses of the discussions that they are cited to.
Sources not included in existing source guides can be brought to the reliable sources noticeboard for discussion. However, unless a source is being used for contentious claims, you should try your best to evaluate its reliability yourself.
