[edit]

Wikipedia works on "verifiability, not truth" as a guiding principle. This policy states that “Wikipedia's content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. That we have rules for the inclusion of material does not mean that Wikipedians have no respect for truth and accuracy, just as a court's reliance on rules of evidence does not mean the court does not respect truth. Wikipedia values accuracy, but it requires verifiability.

In particular, Wikipedia requires citations to reliable and authoritative third-party sources. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE, regarding verifiability and HERE, regarding the need to maintain a neutral point of view.

I won't revert again, and hope that you won't persist in additing unreferenced information.

Sorry for the unreferenced update. I have now added references. It's not that I don't understand the verifiability requirement. This is my first time making a major edit on Wikipedia, so there were some issues in adding references. Vinnytryclyst (talk) 11:06, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
