Articles and editing
How we name, write, and revise articles.
1. Titles and duplicates
Prefer an official name and link other names as aliases. Keep uncertain matches separate for human review.
2. Inclusion and wording
Identify the subject and cite checkable sources. Avoid promotional claims and unsupported speculation. Apply extra care to sensitive claims about living people.
3. Edits and history
Ordinary articles can be created and edited without login using a private IP-based identifier. Explain changes and cite evidence; saved edits are marked unreviewed. Rate limits, blocks and article protection apply. Protected or sensitive articles require a reviewed edit suggestion. Public revisions and differences can be inspected. Hidden revisions are administrator-only; restoration creates a new unreviewed revision.
4. Copyright and images
Summarize independently. Do not copy text or images from other sites without permission. Official profile image submissions require license and source information and review. Contributors retain rights in their own writing; check the separate terms for articles, images and quoted sources. A general contribution license has not yet been adopted.
