Source quality depends on provenance, transparency, expertise relevant to the claim, correction practices, and access to underlying evidence. A reputable outlet can still make an error, and an anonymous claim does not become reliable through repetition. This edition arranges the subject as a sequence of questions rather than a directory of access points.
