&lt;br /&gt;
Reliable sources are essential for maintaining the accuracy and credibility of articles on Knowlepedia. This guideline explains how to assess the reliability of sources used in articles, especially for biographical, business, news, and educational content.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Purpose ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowlepedia aims to host verifiable and well-sourced information. This policy ensures that all content is backed by reputable and trustworthy references that meet editorial standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== What qualifies as a reliable source? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A source is considered reliable if it is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Published by a reputable organization** (e.g., national newspapers, academic journals, government portals)&lt;br /&gt;
* Independent of the subject (not self-published or authored by the article subject)&lt;br /&gt;
* Fact-checked and editorially controlled&lt;br /&gt;
* Consistently published** over time (not a one-time or anonymous blog)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
