Isle of Man: Isle of Man Civil Aviation AdministrationMany potential sources do not fully meet WP:RS or may breach WP:COPYVIO. They may contain unreliable, false or illegally published information for a variety of reasons. In general, they should not be cited in an article. They should not generally be listed as "External links" either, per WP:ELNO.
On the other hand, some of the material in these sources may have been attributed to a respectable author and the author's own sources cited; such material is usually acceptable, provided Wikipedia takes care to cite the author and individual article.
Some questionable sources may still be useful when researching a topic, where they provide references to further and more reliable information, but should not be trusted or referenced in themselves.
For more about such sources, see WP:QUESTIONABLE.
Some questionable sources are frequently cited by inexperienced editors in aviation-related articles, and are listed here for quick reference. The list includes both merely questionable and outright unreliable sources.
Suggested citation tags, where appropriate:
{{citation needed|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}|reason=unreliable and/or copyvio source removed}}
{{Better source needed|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}|reason=source is not reliable for the stated claim}}.
Suggested edit comments, as appropriate:
