Reliable sources
Hi Kate! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. As anyone can edit, some rules have grown up to allow anyone to independently verify what other editors have added. You can see these at WP:V and WP:RS. The criterion for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. You can see how this relates to your addition to John Horton Conway. What we do is document what other people have reported in reliable sources - as the existence of these statements can be verified by third party editors. If you have a suitable published reference for your anecdote, it would be worth adding. Stephen B Streater (talk) 19:24, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
