E-mail. . "." Message to . .}}
Background
Electronic mail may be used as a source on cvillepedia. However, if the message is available online, use {{Cite web}}.
It is preferable to cite sources that others can easily verify, something not possible if an e-mail you have received has not been published. However, because cvillepedia was created by local journalists, e-mail is a frequent source for story research and interviews. The thinking is that if a journalist can cite an e-mail in a printed article, then citing it in cvillepedia is no different and we want to encourage the media to use cvillepedia. Having a source cited from an e-mail in cvillepedia is better than having no source.
Guidelines for use of e-mail as a source
- In all cases, if possible do not cite e-mails others can't verify
- If the e-mail is already online, use {{Cite web}} instead
- Journalists may cite e-mails they have received in the course of their professional work
- E-mails from anonymous sources may not be cited
Usage
This is a helpful template block to COPY for a new citation <ref>{{cite email|subject=|from=|sourceorg=|to=|repositoryorg=|senddate=}}</ref> |
Parameters

- sourceorg (sender's organization, company -- if a public document, it would receive FOIA request for the e-mail),
- repositoryorg (recipient's organization, company -- company you could ask for a copy of the received message).
