Articles [[WP:NOT|appropriate]] for this [[WP:ENC|encyclopedia]], [[WP:CITE|cite]] [[WP:V|verifiable]] claims from [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] ([[WP:NPOV|in proportion]]), without presenting [[WP:NOR|our own claims]].

==[[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]==

Claims should come from published sources that can be verified by other Wikipedia editors.

==[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]==

Verifiable claims should be based on references released by established experts and/or publishers with editorial oversight that have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

==[[Wikipedia:Citing sources]]==

Citing verifiable reliable sources is necessary for editors to verify the claims and assess the reliability of the references.

==[[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]]==

Wikipedia articles should present the claims and opinions appearing in the published body of reliable sources, fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without editorial bias.

==[[Wikipedia:No original research]]==

Claims must be verifiable in reliable references; consequently, editors may not insert their opinion or analysis of a subject into Wikipedia articles, explicitly or through presentation.
