{{Main|Help:Citing Sources}}


Statements of facts, especially those that are likely to be challenged, must be appropriately referenced. These references must be provided via inline citations. When citing references in articles, it is important not to leave naked URLs. What is being referenced should be easily identifiable without having to leave the page through an external link. Minimal information (if available) should include the URL, page title, author, publisher and the date of publication. Each link must also be archived to avoid link rot.
