Widespread disruption in the area of Firearms, Guns Politics, and Gun Control. What Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and what Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia WP:Verify WP:NPOV WP:MOS
| Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and the community of people who build it: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are. —Wikipedia:Five pillars |
