The [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Conservapedia Commandments]] state that we must "Always cite and give credit to your sources", though it does not instruct on the use of good sources. The [[Conservapedia:Manual of Style#Citing Sources and Using Footnotes|Manual of Style]] similarly does not shed light on the subject. This essay attempts to define a good set of guidelines for the use of appropriate citation material on Conservapedia.
