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."

The same guideline applies to any kind of self-published information.
