[WikiEN-l] Well-sourced nonsense vs. unsourced competence

[WJhonson at aol.com]

How do we know who twit? or tweet?
When a celebrity has an official web page, we can be fairly certain that  
what is posted there as the core content is by their own authority.
How do you do that with tweets?

What I'm  wondering is whether that
counts as a source, and if so what sort and how  and whether it should
be used (I'd say Wikipedia should hold itself aloof  from gutter
journalism and celebrity  wranglings).
