[edit]

Rules can be broken and ought be broken but there are certain principles that should never be without justifiable reasons:

  • Write with a neutral, unbiased, objective point of view
  • Verify information by citing reliable sources; content must have been published prior to being on Wikipedia

Summary: Verifiable... means that any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged... needs a reliable source... If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. Any edit lacking a source may be removed...

Jimmy Wales has said of this: "I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information...

Editors should try to familiarize themselves with all three.
