What is a source?
When should I reference a source?

Adam Jenkins, unknown unknown, Henrik Hansen,


A source can be a website, a page in a book, another person, or any 
other resource you have used in answering a question.
You should refer to whatever source you use in answering the question.
This is particularly important if you choose to quote a source, or if
you employ close paraphrasing. If you don't use a source, like your own
knowledge, just leave it empty.
