As of this currently live version of Robert Sheaffer: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Sheaffer&oldid=1364171508

Roughly half of this entire article at least is sourced to the guy's own pages and content. I've added some maintenance tags.

By self-sourced, I mean material sourced either to Sheaffer's self-published websites and social media posts or to subject-authored primary material such as his books, columns, and interviews; I am not claiming that all of those sources were literally self-published. — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs) 23:48, 14 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
