Gundam: Building a Foundation of Trust with Reliable Sources

When it comes to creating content about Gundam, it’s essential to rely on trustworthy, published sources. If a topic lacks credible sources, it’s best not to create an article about it. This guideline ensures that our content is accurate, reliable, and worthy of trust.

The Most Reliable Sources: Official Works of Gundam Fiction

The most trustworthy sources are the official works of Gundam fiction, created by or under license from Sunrise. These include chapters, episodes, and other longer works. When citing these sources, use the Template:ref format to ensure consistency and accuracy.
