It is considered accepted Wikipedia practice to cite the sources which you obtain information from. In accordance with the practice of citing sources, it is generally a good idea to reference as you edit, to cite the sources for each fact that you create on the encyclopedia as you donate them. Otherwise, it cannot necessarily be verified, and may be deleted or reverted unless a significant source can be found. How and what you reference is also an essential part of the process.
