Question from DavidSegunOloye (20:39, 23 March 2025)
[edit]Hi Encoded,
I'm glad to have you as my mentor. I want to ask if I have to add a reference in the reference section after every edit or there's no need for that?
Thank you, David. --DavidSegunOloye (talk) 20:39, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @DavidSegunOloye, welcome to Wikipedia! Apologies for the delayed response. You don't need to reference every edit, the guidelines say:
sources are required for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged. If reliable sources cannot be found for challenged material, it is likely to be removed from the article
.- Basically, if it's a common known fact typically it does not need a reference, but if you think someone might need to check if it's real it does. For example: you'll need to reference something like "Company X did this to Company Y" but not "Apples grow on trees". There's some more information here: WP:WHYCITE. Anything related to living people must be sourced.
