# Verifiability

**Verifiability** is the first standard on RADIX Wiki: the threshold for including material is whether readers can check that it comes from a reliable, published source — not whether an editor is personally convinced it is true.[[1]](#ref-1) Any statement likely to be challenged, and every quotation, should carry an inline citation to a source.

## Reliable sources

Prefer primary Radix documentation, the project's own repositories, peer-reviewed papers, and the on-chain record. The Radix ledger is itself a primary source: an asset supply, a component's state, or a transaction can be cited directly via the [Gateway API](https://docs.radixdlt.com/docs/network-gateway) or a ledger explorer.[[2]](#ref-2) Marketing copy and unattributed forum posts are weak sources and should be replaced.

## Citations needed

When a claim lacks a source, mark it with a [citation needed] tag rather than deleting it outright, and add a *Needs citations* notice banner to the top of the article so contributors and the maintenance sweep can find it.
