Information icon Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Zambia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

References

[edit]

Adding references is how we ensure that content is valid. Without references, a reader can not easily validate information and there is no presumption of accuracy. This is especially important with wp:biographies of living persons. See Help:Referencing for beginners and Help:footnotes. There is a tool that can help: See wp:RefToolbar/2.0. This is covered by the Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability (WP:V). Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources (RS). Per WP:V unsourced content can be removed. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 02:21, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's your job to cite the source in the article. I have other things I want to do. Beware of adding wp:weasel words. "purportedly". State what the sources state not your wp:synthesis / interpretation of the sources. Have you a more easily accessible source than a 30 minute video? It's rather hard to go through it all to verify.
