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)
  • 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")
