dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Normally if no citation can be produced for a claim, the thing to do is remove it, because you don't need to make a claim about anything and the supposed point of Wikipedia is to have an assemblage of knowledge that has proper citations.

I don't think that is actually the case. I recall they have some sort of guideline along the lines of "something is better than nothing". ^citation\ needed^

Let me know if you find where the guidelines say that. I can point you to contrary guidelines that do not support "[unsourced] something is better than nothing.": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Responsibility_for_providing_citations
