	Bharatpedia Article Wizard Referencing and notability

	Your article will be rejected if the topic is not notable, is not referenced properly, or violates copyright. Copyright Do not copy-paste or closely paraphrase material from sources. Rather summarize what the source says in your own words. Notability The topic of an article must already be covered in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. These include academic journals, books, newspapers, magazines, and websites with a reputation for fact-checking. Social media, press releases or corporate/professional profiles do not qualify. Bharatpedia+ If your subject doesn't meet Bharatpedia's notability standards, you can still feature an article by subscribing to Bharatpedia+ programme. Referencing Independent sources (see above) are generally acceptable and should be used before other sources. Non-independent sources (like company websites or press releases) can be used to verify basic facts only. Blogs, social media, and tabloid journalism are generally not acceptable. To create a reference, use <ref></ref> as follows Bizco was founded in 1942.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/bizco</ref> More detail on how to cite different types of materials can be found at our introduction to referencing guide Subscribe to Bharatpedia+ Create
