This is a guideline discussing the reliability of sources. Anarchopedia articles must cover all major and significant-minority views that have been published by reliable sources.
Anarchopedia articles should use reliable, third-party, published sources. A reliable source can be defined as a credible published material with a reliable publication process; the author of the source is generally considered to be trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand. How reliable a source is depends on context. As a rule of thumb, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication. Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in an article and should be appropriate to the claims made; if an article topic has no reliable sources, Anarchopedia should not have an article on it.
