[edit] Fact Checking and Citation

I went hunting for help on this and came up with:

Here is what I think are the guiding principals

  • Every fact in this book needs to be checked.
  • We need to know which facts have been checked.
  • The best way to flag facts as checked is to provide the citation.
    • The citation is credible evidence that the fact was actually checked.

Based on the work they are starting on at Wikipedia, I have come to the following conclusions about a practical approach

  • Create a reference with the {{an}} template [1]
  • Create a ==References== section to contain the references
    • Use the #{{Anb}} to create the reference
  • Refer to the Wikipedia Fact and Reference Check WikiProject for links to examples. Especially their FAC of the week.
