Guidelines
[edit]The (simplified) guidelines on Wikipedia, resting on the five pillars, include:
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, the content that you add must fit in an encyclopedia.
- Write in a neutral point of view.
- All content added must be free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. (copyrights)
- Use references to source facts in your article. Every paragraph and every two/three sentences should have a reference. You can use a reference more than once. Without references an article can't be published.
Further:
- Sign your messages in talk pages with
~~~~
.
12 points to keep in mind:
- add only knowledge that belongs in an encyclopedia
- add only material that is available under a free license or express it in your own words
- describe this knowledge from a neutral position
- add references and sources for the added information
- do not write about your organisation, yourself, a family member, or your boss
- do not describe new theories, new insights or thoughts and no opinions
- see articles about similar topics as an example
- use headings to structurise an article
- use internal links (links to other articles on Wikipedia)
- do not add links to other sites in the body text, add those only at the bottom of the article
- use no qualifications (best, most, etc)
- write timeless (not: "the last century", "next month", "recent", yes: "on 27 September 2016")
