Line 2: {{Essay\|WP:OFFLINE}} {{policy in a nutshell\|Offline sources are just as valid as online sources.}} [[File:~~Gutenberg~~The ~~press~~Caxton Celebration - Wiliam Caxton showing specimens of his printing to King Edward IV and his Queen.jpg\|thumb\|right\|200px\|Online or offline, it's still a [[WP:RS\|reliable source]].]] Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources\|reliable sources guideline]] states that articles should be sourced with reliable, third-party, published sources. '''Even though Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, there is no distinction between using online versus offline sources.''' In fact, many great sources are only available offline. Don't let that fact scare you away from using them as a [[Wikipedia:Verifiability\|source]] in Wikipedia.
