Editing guidelines

When editing, project members should keep in mind the core Wikipedia content policies, Verifiability, No original research and Neutral point of view.

• Economic theories and viewpoints presented should be supported by reliable sources. Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available.
• Various economic theories and viewpoints should be given due weight in proportion to their prominence in reliable sources.
• Regarding validity, peripheral or parochial theories should not have their centrality to the discipline misrepresented. We should describe mainstream and majority views as such, and minority views as such.
• WikiProject Economics/Style guide describes a proposed style for economics articles.
• WikiProject Economics/Reliable sources and weight gives proposed guidance on obtaining reliable sources and assigning due weight in economics articles.
