Wikipedia:Tip of the day/December 31, 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not everything that's true is verifiable

One of the most important criteria for inclusion of articles in Wikipedia is verifiability. Wikipedia is not a place to publish original research. Instead, we restate, summarize and structure knowledge that has already been published in many forms. So, wherever possible, include a source for your information that readers can follow up.
