Wikipedia policy and content guidelines edit
From Wikipedia:No original research: "Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than by the personal beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. The policy says that all material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, needs a reliable source; what counts as a reliable source is described at Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources". From Wikipedia:Verifiability: "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing an Wikipedia:Citing sources#Inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution" and "Articles must be based on reliable, third party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."
From Wikipedia:Verifiability: "Attribute all quotations and any material whose verifiability is challenged or likely to be challenged to a reliable, published source using an Wikipedia:Citing sources#Inline citation. The cited source must clearly support the material as presented in the article. Cite the source clearly and precisely (specifying page, section, or such divisions as may be appropriate). See Wikipedia:Citing sources for details of how to do this."
