Wikipedia Policies

Wikipedia policies are guidelines that help ensure the site remains a reliable source of information. Key principles include: verifiability—information must be backed by reputable sources; neutrality—articles should present a balanced view without bias; and no original research—only summarize existing knowledge, not personal ideas. Respecting copyright is crucial, so content must be free to use or properly attributed. Additionally, editors are encouraged to be polite and assume good faith in their interactions. These policies maintain Wikipedia’s integrity as a collaborative and trustworthy encyclopedia.
