Why cite?
Everything you write on Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable source.
Wikipedians are working to create an accurate encyclopedia. Adding sources means other editors and readers can fact-check the claims.
Editors (yourself included) can challenge unreferenced statements by adding a
{{fact}}
tag in Wikicode, which adds a [citation needed] tag to the
statement. Remember, editors may remove unreferenced material on sight, so
adding a citation helps prevent your work from being deleted.
