In several podcasts, she mentions that she grew up in Chicago and moved to Los Angeles as a child. Can we add this and source the podcasts here? 2600:100C:A218:92ED:3883:FBAE:32AC:286 (talk) 04:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Would these be considered reliable sources? 2600:100C:A211:7F18:C9B7:A8C5:FEE0:4AD6 (talk) 04:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Podcasts are a medium, so they're not automatically considered reliable or unreliable. It all depends on the individual podcast. On Wikipedia, we're looking for reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. When it comes to content about living persons, those sources should be of exceptional quality. TMZ, in particular, has a pretty poor reputation on Wikipedia (and elsewhere), so it really shouldn't be used for claims like these. There's also a concern about undue weight of the claims, especially if they're only made by unreliable sources. In short, if her former locations aren't widely covered by reliable, secondary sources, that's a good sign that we shouldn't be mentioning them on Wikipedia.
- You can read more about reliable and unreliable sources Wikipedia:Reliable sources (for general information), Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources (for details on specific sources), and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard (a noticeboard to ask questions about sources).

- The source is an interview hosted by TMZ so the ultimate source is Nikolas herself for any information derived from what she states directly. WP:ABOUTSELF applies here. Of the 5 points listed in ABOUTSELF, #1, self-serving, might be the only issue but that depends on the information she says about herself. Basic biological information shouldn't be an issue. We would not and should not be using anything TMZ stated, just the spoken words from her. See also WP:TMZ - its use is situational and not prohibited. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:41, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds very fair to me. 2600:100C:A20C:6C0F:7091:3CCC:3E1C:6A00 (talk) 04:53, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Don't just put in raw links, use Template:Cite AV media and specific the timestamp where the info is stated. Do not expect reviewers to watch the whole video to verify the info was in it and matches what was added to the article. See also WP:RSPYT. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
