[[WP:Independent sources|Independent]] and [[WP:RS|reliable]] sources are vital for creating encyclopedia articles. Reliable sources allow editors to [[WP:V|verify]] that claims in an article are ''accurate''. The higher the quality of the source for the statement it backs up, the more likely that statement is to be accurate. Independent sources help editors to write ''[[WP:NPOV|neutrally]]'' and to prove that the subject has ''[[WP:N|received note]]''. Wherever possible, editors should aim to use sources that are independent and highly reliable for the subjects they write about.
