 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Adding sources and references to statements in Wikipedia is very useful, because it facilitates the readers' research. However, it does not increase the reliability or trustworthiness of Wikipedia in any way, and we should counter that misconception wherever it crops up.
