For general information on source citation in Wikipedia, see [[WP:CITE]].
{{Shortcut|WP:CTT}}

==Is the article actually worthy of inclusion?==
Before placing templates on a page it is worthwhile to cast a [[Critical thinking|critical]] eye over the page to determine whether it should in fact be included in Wikipedia. Some articles can be tagged for [[WP:SPEEDY|speedy deletion]] or marked as an [[WP:AFD|article for deletion]].

== Requesting sources ==
'''''See also: [[Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Verifiability_and_sources|Cleanup templates for sources]] and [[Wikipedia:Cleanup resources#Verifiability and sources|Wikipedia:Cleanup Resources#Verifiability and sources]]'''''

==Including third-party content==

=== United States government attribution templates ===

These templates can be added to articles (close to the end of the article, in the ''References'' or ''External links'' section, for example). Before adding the template to an article, check the details of the usage - some templates require parameters such as a URL. Most of these templates add the articles to the category ''[[:Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from public domain works of the United States Government|Wikipedia articles incorporating text from public domain works of the United States Government]]''.
