 * Manual of Style

A summary of site policies and guidelines you should be aware of

 * Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * "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 * We do not publish original thought nor original research.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.

Your edits to Knights Templar were reverted because they were unsourced, counter to sourced information in the article, and erroneously took for granted accusations made by Philip le Bel (who owed the Templars money) and "confessions" (which the Pope later ruled were invalid) made under torture. See Chinon Parchment. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:25, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Codex Alimentarius. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:07, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
