in re Emily Randall at South Kitsap High School
Short answer is no, every statement should be supported by a reliable source so that a reader can verify that the statement is true. Neither article cites a source that connects the senator to the school, so I snicked out the claim. Did you read it somewhere? Just cite the source at the end of the statement--a full citation is best, but a bare URL in   tags will do in a pinch. For now I'll tag your addition "citation needed" with the understanding that you'll soon add a source to support it.

What you see in the article are "facts" dropped in by editors who should have cited sources to support them, but didn't. The blue links make them seem authoritative, but they're not. If you can, cite sources for them as well, or sooner or later they'll be snicked out too. Yappy2bhere (talk) 22:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, that helps me understand and makes sense.
