Most definitions on the
list of policy terms are best established with a
refer link to one or more such providers, as they let GPC members update and edit definitions and add references. A
cite link should be to a paper or resource that has already been added to such an article under GFDL - this permits it to be criticized and challenged by others who are able to look at the material from a non-Green perspective, and potentially delete it. In which case the
evidence/source/authority may need to be questioned and a less controversial reference found.
