A summary of site guidelines and policies you may find useful
[edit]- "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
- Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
- We are not here to promote anything. We do not publish original thought nor original research. we're not a blog.
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from 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.

- To add to the above, I have declined your request at WP:RFPP. The version of the article you made is in violation of all of the policies Ian.thomson references above. While there is sort of a "dispute" here, it's really between you (Jvwikie) and the rules of Wikipedia. In fact, if you continue to attempt to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes, your account will be blocked from editing. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
