[[Wikipedia:Attribution]] (WP:ATT) is an attempt to unite [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] (WP:V) and [[Wikipedia:No original research]] (WP:NOR).

Wikipedia:Attribution (WP:ATT) is an attempt to unite Wikipedia:Verifiability (WP:V) and Wikipedia:No original research (WP:NOR). It was worked on for over five months by more than 300 editors, and was upgraded to policy on 15 February, 2007. The proposal was e-mailed to Wikipedia co-founder Jimbo Wales, made public on various policy talk pages, on the WikiEN-L mailing list, and was announced on The Wikipedia Signpost.
Some aspects of Wikipedia:Reliable sources (WP:RS) were also merged into WP:ATT, with other material to be incorporated into the accompanying Wikipedia:Attribution/FAQ (WP:ATTFAQ). The intention is to express present policy more clearly and concisely, and to make it more manageable and easier to follow by having it on one page.
More recently, on the WikiEN-L mailing list, Jimbo Wales suggested:[1]
- "A broad community discussion to shed light on the very good work done by a group of people laboring away on WP:ATT and related pages", (see: Wikipedia talk:Attribution/Community discussion), and then,
- "a poll to assess the feelings of the community as best we can, and then we can have a final certification of the results" (this poll).
