A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary.
 * We have a tutorial, The Wikipedia Adventure, if you would like to learn more about editing Wikipedia.
 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * 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).
 * 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.

And a further note: Wicca is a religion that sometimes calls itself "Pagan Witchcraft," and some other neo-pagans describe their religion as "Witchcraft," but (lowercase) witchcraft refers more broadly to a set of practices or beliefs about supposed practices, found in a variety of religions. "Witchcraft" (capitalized) as a name of a religion is derived from the lowercase term, not the other way around. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:26, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
