References dos and don'ts

Copies of Wikipedia are not reliable sources and not acceptable external links in articles per the verifiability policy.

Referencing is key to making Wikipedia reliable and trustworthy.

When working with references:

DO: Use inline citations (either footnotes or shortened footnotes). Keep citations near the material they support, e.g. after the sentence. Say where in the source the information came from. Use a consistent reference style within each article. Consider using citation templates to create a consistent style. Tag under-sourced material with an appropriate inline tag. Tag under-sourced articles with an appropriate header.

DON'T: Don't rely on unreliable sources. Don't cite a source you haven't seen for yourself. Don't add material that's not supported by sources. Don't place external links in the body of articles. Don't add references for obvious information. Don't use all-numeric date formats other than YYYY-MM-DD. Don't change an established reference style without consensus.

Hello, I'm Sciencefish. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, PDP–Laban, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please don't mark edits as minor when they clearly aren't see Help:Minor edit Sciencefish (talk) 09:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Chinese Communist Party, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Recent edits to the Chinese Communist Party

While I and many other editors personally support using the official name "Communist Party of China" and CPC, this is against WP:COMMONNAME and the consensus of a majority of Wikipedia editors who participated in discussions on Talk:Chinese Communist Party. WP:OFFICIAL comes after, not before, WP:COMMONNAME, as was argued and agreed upon on in these discussions. Please refrain from further attempts to make changes contrary to the consensus, as nearly all mentions of Communist Party of China and CPC have been changed to Chinese Communist Party and CCP since the consensus was first reached. In other words, continuing to do such changes is not only a lost cause, but may get you blocked for edit warring and pushing a version of the article that contradicts Wikipedia policy.
