Primary versus Secondary Sources
{{ping|Bbarmadillo}} Thank you to whoever can help me with improving this article. I will continue to add material (regarding stub status), but I have a question about the request to use secondary sources rather than primary. For example, Prof. Maine serves on the board of directors for a company. Is the request that I link to a source other than that company's website where they name her as a board member? For example, instead of linking to Foresight Cleantech Accelerator, I should link to this secondary source that notes she is on the Foresight board? https://www.globeseries.com/forum2018/speakers/maine-elicia/ In looking at other articles, like Kara Swisher, I see news articles used. Obviously, I'm new to creating an article (participating in WEKH Wiki-Edit: Adding Women to the Story) and to participating via talk pages. Thank you for your patience.

: Yes, this is the right approach. Please also use only independent reliable sources per WP:RSP. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 14:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
{{ping|Bbarmadillo}} Thank you - I've gone back through and found secondary sources. My understanding is that it's better if I don't remove the tag until others signal here that the issue is resolved. Could you take a look? Scholar1961 (talk) 22:48, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
: As the main author of the article, and probaly the one with the WP:COI, you should absolutely NOT be removing the tag yourself. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 10:24, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
