Guidelines

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)

Further:

• Use references to source facts in your article.
• Sign your messages in talk pages with ~~~~.

New on Wikipedia?

First: welcome to Wikipedia!

Before you start writing, please keep the following thoughts in mind:

• add to Wikipedia only knowledge that is suitable for an encyclopedia
• add only material that is available under a free license or describe knowledge in your own words
• describe the knowledge from a neutral point of view
• add references and sources where the information can be found
• do not write about your own organisation nor about yourself, a family member or your boss
• do not describe new theories, new insights that have not been published widely
• look at comparable subjects as examples of how it is done
• use headers to structure an article
• use internal links (links to other articles on Wikipedia in that language)
• do not use links inline in the text, but only as reference or at the bottom of a page
• avoid qualifications like "the best", "the most", "great" and write time specific (not: "last year", "coming month", etc., but: "on 10 April 2016")

Please start writing in your sandbox. The link to your personal sandbox you can find on top of every page (if you are logged in).
