A reliable source (WP:RS). The encyclopedia is about the citations; it's a travel atlas to the sources about a subject. Any conclusions the encyclopedia draws "itself" are secondary to the sources.

Who decides which sources are reliable?

  • Read WP:RS. It's a very complicated answer, and one of the most important policy processes in the project.

  • Have you tried spending some time researching how Wikipedia works yourself instead of waiting for someone to spoon feed you?

    • No, I merely being sarcastic, because I know it's all boils down to power. Just ask yourself, why different language wikipedias diverge on some hot topics.
