A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * "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 * We do not publish original thought nor original research.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).
 * It is recommended that you do not add anything relating to yourself or companies you work for to article space, and it is expressly forbidden to use Wikipedia to promote anything about yourself or companies you work for.
