A summary of some important site policies and guidelines
- "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
- We do not publish original thought nor original research.
- A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- 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 Misplaced Pages) 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).
- Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
- It is recommended that you do not add anything relating to yourself to article space, and it is expressly forbidden to use Misplaced Pages to promote anything about yourself.
- Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not change others' comments. New comments go at the bottom, under the comments they are responding to.
