__TOC__
== Summary ==
LinkedIn is a social network. As a [[WP:SPS|self-published source]], it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the post is used for an [[WP:ABOUTSELF|uncontroversial self-description]]. Articles on [[LinkedIn Pulse]] written by LinkedIn users are also self-published. LinkedIn accounts should only be cited if they are [[Account verification|verified accounts]] or if the user's identity is confirmed in some way. Posts that are not covered by reliable sources are likely to constitute [[WP:UNDUE|undue weight]]. LinkedIn should never be used for [[WP:THIRDPARTY|third-party claims]] related to [[WP:BLPSPS|living persons]].
