Hi! New editor here. I have a question about the use of Twitter as a substantive citation for information on a subject. My first edit was on a writer's page, Claire Vaye Watkins. I wanted to add a section for her newest novel, similar to the sub-headings for her other books. There was a section on apparent abuse allegations that I thought was a little strange because it used a Tweet as its citation. I removed this section, citing BLP standards, but it was re-added in another edit a few days later by the same editor who had initially added it. I'm not really sure what to do. I elided the allegation into the section on her most recent novel as it seemed most pertinent there, but I feel really strange about even keeping it at all. I'd really appreciate some help here. Thank you!
