Is the subject of items , webpage on their employer's website the best source for a statement on wikidata

[edit]

I say 98% yes because normally the data or information put on the employer's website normally goes through quality checks and its normally authorized persons designated who are allowed to post information on the website in regards to the staff or institutions. I write this in reference to the institution i work for which is the Inspectorate of Government - Uganda Maziraflo (talk) 10:57, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

" Imported from wikipedia" because wikipedia articles are trustworthy

[edit]

Am not in agreement with this statement because not all articles in wikipedia are trustworthy. That is the reason there is a provision for editing function in wikipedia, because new information about articles keep on evolving or coming up . Maziraflo (talk) 11:04, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The subject of an articles personal website , because who who knows you better than you you know yourself

[edit]

I agree with the statement :The subject of an articles personal website , because who who knows you better than you you know yourself can be best source for a statement on wikidata with justification of a saying which states that "a word got from the horse month is correct " meaning you know yourself better .

An article about the person published by a newspaper with a reputation , for accuracy and facts

[edit]

An article about the person published by a newspaper with a reputation , for accuracy and facts can not be taken as the best source for a statement on wikidata because all news papers whether with reputation or not write or publish information basing on public opinion according to my understanding. So it can not be relied on 100% needs room for verification of the information because some of the information published are sometimes contested on the same newspapers which published it .
