Source provenance records where a statement originated and how it reached the current page. It helps a reader evaluate whether a citation adds evidence or repeats an existing claim.[4][3]

Understanding the question

Record the original URL, publisher, author where available, document type and relevant dates. Note whether the source is a copy, quotation or original account. Where a page disappears, preserve the distinction between a historical record and a currently accessible source.[4][3]
