A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

• Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary.
• "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from mainstream 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).
• 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, 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.

Wikipedia summary style

Hi! I've seen your edits to Grandfather paradox! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, but unfortunately your edits do not follow Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. Wikipedia does not publish original research or isolated studies, even if they're true. Wikipedia relies on reliable sources—that is, sources that have a reputation for fact-checking, and are generally accepted as factually accurate. Self-published papers, videos from laymen, isolated studies, and personal hypotheses are not acceptable according to Wikipedia policies.

What's more, when writing Wikipedia articles, you have to use summary style. You cannot present the information pedagogically or with an editorial tone.

Please don't let this deter you from contributing to Wikipedia! Your assistance is valuable! Bright☀ 09:27, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
