It's expected that any information added to the wiki is clearly cited where applicable. This really only applies when providing evidence or advice that is not well known or obviously subjective or speculative. as many users do not appreciate unverifiable speculation, unless it is plainly stated as such. Feel free to write what ''might'' or ''might not'' be factual as long as it is obvious to the reader, but qualify (cite) what is ''intended'' to be factual. The [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite Cite] extension is available on this wiki and makes adding inline citations and references easy. | |||
