Finding reliable sources[edit]

Wikipedia Reference Search[edit]

This is a fantastic tool that uses a custom Google Search engine to find reliable sources, I always use this in the first instance and highly recommend it.

Some results (such as opinion pages) may not necessarily comply with WP:RS, so please check. This search only includes websites from a pre-determined list of usually reliable sources it could miss many others possible sources, so make sure to check elsewhere too!
