Hello, CFA! I'm consulting about citing a tweet. I'm skeptical about citing a tweet regarding awards and nominations because I'm planning to nominate a list of awards and nominations (which I am currently drafting). Some awards are only acknowledged on social media and not covered in news articles. For example, a boy band or girl group or individual singers etc. may have an award, nominations or honoree, not necessarily a popular one, but their record label acknowledges it through social medi, without any mention or covers in news articles. Is it okay to such sources if they are only from social media? --Royiswariii Talk! 03:38, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250103033800","author":"Royiswariii","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Royiswariii-20250103033800-Question_from_Royiswariii_(03:38,_3_January_2025)","replies":["c-CFA-20250104022800-Royiswariii-20250103033800"]}}-->

Hi Royiswariii. The answer to this is generally no.

Per WP:ABOUTSELF (emphasis mine):

Self-published ... sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, ... so long as:

1. The material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;
2. It does not involve claims about third parties;
3. It does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source;
4. There is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and
5. The article is not based primarily on such sources.

If a singer's record label posts about the singer winning an award, it most likely involves claims about third parties and events not directly related to the source, so it would not be an appropriate use of a self-published source. Hope this helps, C F A 02:28, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250104022800","author":"CFA","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-CFA-20250104022800-Royiswariii-20250103033800","replies":["c-Royiswariii-20250104032400-CFA-20250104022800"],"displayName":"C"}}-->

CFA one more about my previous question, I see this [1] which is from news organization ABS-CBN, however, it was from Facebook page and considered it as reliable source per WP:TAMBAY/RS. It can be considered this on List of awards and nominations received by Bini? Royiswariii Talk! 04:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250104044000","author":"Royiswariii","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Royiswariii-20250104044000-CFA-20250104040700","replies":["c-CFA-20250104182600-Royiswariii-20250104044000"]}}-->

I can't see the Facebook post, but as long as it is ABS-CBN's official account, it inherits its reliability. So yes it would be fine to use, though some people might prefer if you find a direct link to an article.

Hey CFA! Have a q. I came across this draft in AfC Draft:Trees in the Book of Mormon and saw that it's attributed as being translated from the polish wikipedia [2]. I noticed that it was translated using google translate and while it's not an exact copy and paste, there are some sections that do match. So was just wondering what the general rule of thumb is for approaching such articles? Thanks.

Hi Eucalyptusmint. There's not much you can do, aside from tagging the article with {{rough translation}} and leaving the creator a note. I'd just assess it as I would any other draft. It's an OKA translation, which, in my experience, are usually fairly well done. C F A 02:32, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250106023200","author":"CFA","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-CFA-20250106023200-Eucalyptusmint-20250105020300","replies":["c-Eucalyptusmint-20250107235300-CFA-20250106023200"],"displayName":"C"}}-->

Sounds good, ya overall it seemed pretty good but wasn't sure since, like I said, there are few paragraphs/sentences that match exactly. But, will do. Thank you!

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
