{{policy}}
'''Check your facts.''' An encyclopedia is only as good as the accuracy of what it records.

Before adding a claim, make sure it is correct and, where possible, cite the record that establishes it &mdash; an order, a directive, a policy document, or another primary source (see [[TenthFleet:Cite your sources|Cite your sources]]). If you are not certain, say so, or flag the statement with <code><nowiki>{{Citation needed}}</nowiki></code> rather than presenting a guess as fact.
