Sources to expand this into a good article

I recommend reading Wikipedia's Guidelines for Reliable Sources. Most of these examples you give are self-published sources and fail to meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. To everyone else, I would not recommend adding these sources. Instead, read the guidelines and locate your own sources--with a preference for published print sources, scholarly articles (try google scholar) and lastly, reputable news sources (try google news).

I have a better pictures of Black Ceylon tea, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ceylon_tea_Leafs.JPG i think we should use this one, it looks better, or we could add this one to the article. HeroidShehu (talk) 15:19, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Reference Cleanup - Citation Spam

I am cleaning up the references. There seems to be a lot of WP:CITESPAM. In particular, linking to a tea company website or a travel website is generally not acceptable as these are self-published sources. See WP:RS. A possible exception would be the rare cases where there are verifiable reasons to trust the authority of the website in question. Also, because of the citation spam problem, in general, when you remove a questionable source, it's worth typing it into Wikipedia's source box and removing it from other articles as well, assuming it's not a marginal / controversial decision to remove it. The stuff I'm removing all looks particularly egregious in its violation of WP:RS. Cazort (talk) 17:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
