Hi Doniago. While I use a pseudonym here on Wikipedia, I am the author of the book. Is that a reliable enough source? Trev Swain (talk) 05:13, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If so, please restore my original edit. Trev Swain (talk) 05:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Citing Sources page you provided a link to states, "Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space." (emphasis added). I am uncertain how or why the edit I made could be challenged, given it is an addition of a novel to a list of books bearing cultural references to the September 11 attacks. Please explain. Trev Swain (talk) 05:48, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
