A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

 * "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 * We do not publish original thought nor original research.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.
 * 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.
 * Minor edits are those that add or remove little content, and mainly consists of undoing undeniable vandalism or fixing grammar, spelling, or formatting errors.

And a further note: edit summaries like this could give the impression that you're not here to improve the encyclopedia. Be more forthright and descriptive in your edit summaries. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

December 2018
Hello, I'm Redactyll. I noticed that in this edit to John the Baptist, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sincerely, Redactyll (talk) 00:18, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Redactyll. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 00:30, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Redactyll ‎. Comment on content, not on fellow editors.  Velella  Velella Talk 00:34, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
