Citing sources on Wikipedia

Hello again, Yadidyag. It's great that you're contributing your expertise in an area most people don't know much (or anything) about to Wikipedia. (As an aside, I have some interest in kosher and halal slaughtering, as I don't eat pork for religious reasons despite being neither Jewish nor Muslim, and so fairly frequently buy products like beef bacon from halal or kosher suppliers... interest, but definitely not expertise.)

You should keep in mind, however, that on Wikipedia every assertion of fact in an article should be cited to a source Wikipedia considers reliable. This means both that you should try to only add information when you can cite a source to support that information, and that you should not remove information that has a source cited — even if you know the "fact" is wrong — unless you cite another source that supports your removal of information. It's okay to cite offline sources such as books if you have access to them, though of course it's nice to use sources that are available online when possible so that more readers will be able to verify what the source says.

If you need help formatting your citations, feel free to ask either here (you'll want to copy and paste either {{Help me}} or [[User:GrammarFascist|GrammarFascist]] onto the page when asking here, so that Wikipedia's software will alert someone to your question), at the Teahouse, or on my talk page.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for contributing your expertise to improving articles! —GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk 23:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, will always make sure to do so in the future. I will go back to those previous edits and cite the sources.Yadidyag (talk) 01:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
