Any media uploaded with the intent of being used as a source may not be cited until it is independently reviewed for authenticity by an [[Project:Administrators|administrator]]. For example, if a screenshot of a Discord announcement is made, the administrator must be able to go to the Discord server themselves and find the announcement. They will then compare it against the screenshot to ensure it has not been altered. Media used as a source may not possess alteration in any form aside from organic cropping or clipping, though an administrator may rule that any piece of media fail authentication due to insufficient context. | Any media uploaded with the intent of being used as a source may not be cited until it is independently reviewed for authenticity by an [[Project:Administrators|administrator]].

The administrator may perform authentication in whatever reasonable fashion they desire. Once a piece of media is authenticated, the media will be given an appropriate template and category, and then it may be used as a source. If authentication fails, it must be immediately deleted. | The administrator may perform authentication in whatever reasonable fashion they desire.
