|text = The Proud Boys have a history of self-published claims that often contradict independent reliable sources. As per the fringe perspectives policy and self-description guidelines, these statements should be mentioned, but attributed in-text to the group and be within the context of coverage from reliable sources. Be careful not to give undue weight to the Proud Boys' statements, especially when they conflict with reliable sources.
