Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Daniel 8. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 12:37, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research.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.

Further clarification, as you have had some trouble with this: primary sources (such as the Bible) are not to be interpreted by editors in the article. Rather, a reliable secondary source (such as a scholarly journal, or a book published by a university press) is used to document notable ideas. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:49, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
