There are edge cases in this that concern me a little. Facts should be from reputable sources? Not quite. They should be from appropriate sources. The British National Party is not reputable and (like even some reputable British political parties) cannot be expected to publish accurate membership figures and certainly cannot be cited on issues such as social concerns of people living in Sheffield. It is a perfectly appropriate source, however, for the wording of a campaign address given by its by-election candidate in Sheffield ...
Tony, the British National Party and similar organizations may be used as sources of information about themselves, but may not be used as sources regarding anything or anyone else. See [[WP:RS]] under "Partisan websites." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RS#Partisan_websites
The same guideline applies to any kind of self-published information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RS#Personal_websites_as_primary_sources
