Dropbox files fail WP:USERG

Regarding this edit, how is it that you consider Dropbox files to be a reliable source? I can log in to Dropbox and change the text. That means it instantly fails WP:USERG. Even if the file is protected from editing, there is no certainty that the uploader supplied correct information in the first place. The file I'm looking at has no author, and it does not appear to be published anywhere. Big red flag. Binksternet ( talk) 21:08, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Binksternet Most of Wikipedia's ARIA certifications use dropbox links similar to this as their source, I wasn't the only one. Even the reference Template for certifications here on Wikipedia has a dropbox link. Big red flag for you who seem to have not been informed before coming to warn me.

Ps. I wasn't even the first to do it

Fair enough. I wonder how the Australia certification template got tied to Dropbox. I'll go snoop around there. Binksternet ( talk) 21:54, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Hello again, just to say that I found the Dropbox source. It is published by ARIA through its website.
