#Citing sources is not often used in many articles, but it is necessary when it comes to evidence or from where you took the block of information.

##Citing sources avoids plagiarism (unless the article is just a copy and pasted information from another source), and it gives credit to the author (s) of the source from where you took it. This means you should cite sources by adding the author (s)' name, external link, publication date, or page numbers in books. Quotes should be taken with sources to let people know where you took them from.

## There should be trustworthy sources with useful information.The sources can be found as "reliable" when the accuracy is as high as the sky.

#[[Shock sites]], animations, and videos can generally have their own page if they have at least followed three of these criterias:
