How do I verify a page?

Verifying a page is easy. Read the entire page and ensure the references at the bottom are from reputable sources and they represent the claims made in the article. If you are satisfied with the content, you can just click the “Verify” button on top right corner of the page. This particular exercise of fact checking someone else's work ensures you get a deep understanding of the subject.
