Any claim or material that is likely to be challenged must be cited. All claims must be supported by scholarly sources and not reliant solely on reasoning provided by editors. Thus, for instance, a claim that Riadh is the capitol of modern-day Saudi Arabia needn't be cited since it is unlikely to be challenged, but it must be backable by an established academic source were such a challenge to arise (which it is). A claim that the original Qur'anic rasm did not have dots, on the other hand, may well be challenged by lay people, so such a claim requires an academic citation. | Any claim or material that is likely to be challenged must be cited.
