- Well, Wikipedia is based on verifiability. Without citing reliable sources, the page is likely to be put up for deletion. Also, you should make sure that you include no original research. So, in a nutshell, you should make sure that everything you add has a reliable source to back up the statement; without it, the page could be deleted. --pbroks13talk? 09:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
