__TOC__

== Summary ==
WikiLeaks is a repository of [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]] documents [[News leak|leaked]] by [[anonymous sources]]. No consensus exists on its reliability. Some editors questioned the applicability of reliability ratings to Wikileaks. Some editors believe that documents from WikiLeaks fail the [[WP:V|verifiability policy]], because WikiLeaks does not adequately authenticate them, and there are concerns regarding whether the documents are genuine or tampered. It may be appropriate to cite a document from WikiLeaks as a [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]], but only if it is discussed by a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. However, linking to material that violates copyright is prohibited by [[WP:COPYLINK]].
