Citing sources is a easy. Most of the time, however, you will be citing sources when you find information on new games since those are the times when unverified rumors run around. If you find find information that can be verified by playing the game or reading the instruction booklet, then citing the source is unnecessary.

Before you start citing sources, make sure the article has a References section first. If not, you can create it with ==References==.

Once you have created a references section, add a tag <references/> in the section.

If you have done this, or if there is already such a section, you can add sources. Once you add new information to the article, or if you find a source for a statement, you can wrap these two tags <ref></ref> around the provided source. If it is a link, make sure you encase the link in brackets [ ] before you wrap it with the tags.

Please make sure that the source you provide is either official or from a credible site. If you find statements in the article to be questionable, you can remove them, give it a source, or ask about it in the talk page.
