A summary of some important site policies and guidelines, and a note on history

 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * 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 * We do not publish original thought nor original research.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.
 * Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from mainstream 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.
 * We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.

And a note on history: The title Vicarius Filii Dei has never been an official title for the Pope. It comes from a politically-motivated forgery. When a few protestants decided to interpret it as adding up to 666, they had to ignore letters and ignore how Roman numerals were actually counted. For example, VIC would 94 (100-[5+1]), not 106.

Wikipedia regards the claim that Vicarius Filii Dei = 666 to be fringe history at best. If you continue to press it as some indisputable truth, you're only gonna find trouble. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:47, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
