===Summary===

* All article content must be '''[[WP:V|verifiable]]''', that is, to be possible to support with a reliable, published source.

* All quotations, any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, and contentious material, whether negative, positive, or neutral, about [[WP:BLP|living persons]], must include an '''[[WP:IC|inline citation]]'''.

* Inline citations are added between '''<code><nowiki><ref></nowiki>...<nowiki></ref></nowiki></code>''' tags, after the factfacts they support.

* A {{tlx|Reflist}} template should be added at the end of the article, in a "References" section, for the inline citations to display properly.

* The '''RefToolbar''' can be used to make adding citations easier, by clicking "'''Cite'''" in the toolbar at the top of the edit window.
