Perhaps I'm wrong.
Sarah, just to let you know that self-published material is allowed as a source in the Wikipedia article about the author of the self-published material (and in some other circumstances too, if the source is an expert). In this case, if Danese has written about the car on her personal website, that can be used as a source in the article about her. The limits of this are, among others, (a) there should be no reasonable doubt that she's the author; (b) the material should not be unduly self-serving (doesn't apply here); and (c) it should not involve discussion of third parties, especially living people -- but discussing her father in this case would be fine. The policy on that is here for future reference -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SELFPUB#Self-published_and_questionable_sources_as_sources_on_themselves Hope this helps, Sarah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SlimVirgin _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
