An editor reviewed this question, but it did not have the required level of detail necessary to provide a useful answer. Source reliability, or unreliability, can only be assessed in context. Please cite the specific source(s) for that edit, link the affected article, and diff link or <blockquote> a specific edit, to help editors here answer your question.

Examples and additional info:
The easier it is to find your source, and the edit that it is trying to support, the more likely you are to get a response from other editors. The "Better way" examples provided will often get you more results here.
It is very useful to include a direct link to a website-specific page, and text:
Basic way: "Is oprah.com a reliable source for saying beef from Texas is no good?"
Better way: Is the third paragraph of [http://oprah.com/chewytexasbeef this link] to the Oprah.com website a reliable source for this edit [insert diff here], that says beef from Texas is too chewy?
RSN editors respond faster when you provide a full, linked citation to your source:
Basic way: Is the book "Early Childhood Education Journal" a reliable source for the Kindergarten article? Better way: Is the journal article, Strickland, D.S. and Worth, B.S. (1980) "Books for the children" Early Childhood Education Journal 8 (2): pages 58--60 doi:10.1007/BF01628031 a reliable source for the assertion that attending Kindergarten makes kids IQ's go up 200 points, as claimed by this edit [insert diff here]?"
