:What is the article? And the book? No, saying you know it's true because you've read the book is not good enough. You must supply a source that should be a [[WP:RSS]]. If the source is not good enough, others might dispute it. First however is that you give more information here.

::The book is "Ransom" by Lois Duncan. I didn't add much but a few character names and changed the page number. I added a Google Books link to external sources though [[User:Lolapossum|Lolapossum]] ([[User talk:Lolapossum|talk]]) 21:54, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
:@[[User:Lolapossum|Lolapossum]] Libraries exist. A reader can in principle visit one and check what the book says. A library that doesn't have a copy can request an inter-library loan from one that does. So the information is verifi'''able''', assuming the book itself is one that's reliable for the subject. You don't need to say you've got a copy, just give enough information for someone to find one—as has been the practice ever since people started putting bibliographies in books and journal articles, long before the Internet existed.
