All content on encyclopedia pages must be sourced with in-line '''references'''.<ref>Like this one!</ref> While you are not required to source content on other spaces, it is encouraged. By sourcing your edits, you help tether the project to reality and help readers find external resources.
 
== Types of sources ==
Sources fall into three types, listed in decreasing authority:
 
# Reliable publications like external newspapers/journals, [[The Miscellany News|''The Miscellany News'']], and official Vassar websites
# Public statements by Vassar administration, departments, and [[VSA]]-recognized student organizations
# Current or past Vassar individuals (including you!)
 
== Style ==
References can be brief, and they don't have to be in any citation style. If possible, link the sources to the relevant VassarWiki page or external website. 
 
== How do I add references? ==
It's super easy to add references! On the visual editor, click the "Cite" button. On the source editor, click the book with a ribbon or write the reference content between <nowiki><ref></nowiki> and <nowiki></ref></nowiki>.
 
== References<!-- woah meta --> ==
