In this server, you can edit and reference Wiki articles. Before joining please look at these guidelines to editing Wikipeida articles.

Wikipedia requires you to reference your information. Here is some information about that.

Copyright Do not copy-paste or closely paraphrase material from sources. Rather summarize what the source says in your own words.

Notability The topic of an article must already be covered in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. These include academic journals, books, newspapers, magazines, and websites with a reputation for fact checking. Social media, press releases or corporate/professional profiles do not qualify.

Referencing Independent sources (see above) are generally acceptable and should be used before other sources. Non-independent sources (like company websites or press releases) can be used to verify basic facts only. Blogs, social media, and tabloid journalism are generally not acceptable. To create a reference, use as follows Bizco was founded in 1942.https://www.nytimes.com/bizco

There are also some common mistakes made when writing Wiki articles. Here are some.

Writing about yourself or someone/something you're close to Whether it is yourself, a family member, a friend, an employer, a mentor/business partner, writing about topics close to you (and the people close to you) is discouraged as the article you will create may not be neutral.

Copy-pasting material You must write the article in your own words, or it may be deleted.

Not citing your sources Articles without independent reliable sources usually get deleted within days.

Overly promotional language Terms like "leading expert" and "ground-breaking technology" sound great when promoting a product, but they do not belong on Wikipedia. Let the facts speak for themselves.
