Editing GoArch:Citation guidelines (section)

== When to cite sources ==
A source should be cited whenever you make a claim that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or when quoting someone either directly or indirectly as a source anywhere within an article. In general, we recommend adhering to Wikipedia's [[wikipedia:citing sources|citing sources]] documentation when adding citations.

If the source of information is in-game, editors can use an inline [[Help:Editing|wikilink]] to the source article where appropriate. Otherwise, cite it in a reference using the "in-game content" citation style below.

=== Local archival ===
In some cases, it can be advantageous to copy the content of a source into the Archive's [[Reference:Main Page|Reference]] namespace. This is particularly useful for emails and other private forms of communication, provided all parties consent to it being posted publicly. For other content, such as forum posts, retaining a copy on the Archive may be overkill. In those cases, use an archiving service such as http://archive.is to make a backup, or be sure that the thread is archived in the [http://www.archive.org Wayback Machine], in order to ensure that it will remain accessible in the future.
