A summary of some policies and guidelines you may find useful here
[edit]- Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key). Talk pages are for discussing article improvement, they are not general discussion forums for off-topic rants.
- Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
- "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
- Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science and history, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
Your comments in Talk:Asherah have shown a potential conflict with the last site policy listed. I highly recommend you readthis unofficial essay concerning the relationship between Christianity and the Neutral Point of View policies, and then perhaps review the Islam and Roman Catholicism articles, which do an excellent job of summarizing the current scholarly consensus of those two religions.
