Restoring unsourced material
Please don't restore unsourced material that has been challenged. Wikipedia:Verifiability is a baseline policy of ours, and it is very clear:
- "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution."
- "Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."

- Take this to the article talk page please. You can't ignore other rules. Please, also see: Keep it, don't remove! AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 22:37, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Everything needs a source. That's what our policy, Wikipedia:Verifiability, says. If a user removes unsourced material, and you restore it to the article without a source, that's a direct violation of a fundamental policy of this encyclopedia. Restoring unsourced content (especially if done repeatedly) is not an article content issue — it's a user conduct issue. Neutralitytalk 22:40, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- I don't need clarifications on the policy provisions. There are thousands of unsourced articles/statements in the Wikipedia that doesn't harm it in any way. Nothing warrants you to remove it either. And the statement you are disputing in fact was just recently introduced by me in place of the removed one by you earlier.
