If you are confused about citations, they serve to reference information used from another domain; giving credit to the people that wrote the information in the first place. You may be wondering why this is necessary, and this is because '''''plagiarism''''' is not tolerated. <u>Plagiarism is taking someone else's work, and using it in your own without their permission</u>; which is not only greatly frowned upon, but also can cause issues beyond staining your own reputation. This is also mentioned in the [[Galaxypedia:Terms of Service#4._Rules,_Policies,_Guidelines|Terms of Service: Rules, Policies, Guidelines]].
