Wikipedia Core Content Policies

  • 1. Neutral point of view – All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content

must be written from a neutral point of view, representing significant views fairly, proportionately and without bias.

  • 2. Verifiability – Material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all

quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source. In Wikipedia, verifiability means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that information comes from a reliable source.

  • 3. No original research
