Wikipedia:Content policies and guidelines in a nutshell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles appropriate for this encyclopedia, cite verifiable claims from reliable sources (in proportion), without presenting our own claims.

Claims should come from published sources that can be verified by other Wikipedia editors.

Verifiable claims should be based on references released by established experts and/or publishers with editorial oversight that have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

Citing verifiable reliable sources is necessary for editors to verify the claims and assess the reliability of the references.

Wikipedia articles should present the claims and opinions appearing in the published body of reliable sources, fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without editorial bias.

Claims must be verifiable in reliable references; consequently, editors may not insert their opinion or analysis of a subject into Wikipedia articles, explicitly or through presentation.
