A summary of site guidelines and policies you may find useful

 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * 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.  In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

 * Something else:
 * Wikipedia does not tolerate copyright violations or plagiarism. Paraphrase sources, do not steal text from them.
 * Your edits to Dionysus plagiarized the source cited. Also, the source does not establish any connection between οἶνος (oinos, wine), and Διόνυσος (Dionysus).  Making statements beyond what the source supports is considered original research.  Ian.thomson (talk) 03:15, 3 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Please go to Talk:Dionysus and get consensus there before re-adding the bit about "oin" to the article. Your edit, as it is, does not make any connection to Dionysus.  Ian.thomson (talk) 04:00, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
