A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

 * Minor edits are those that add or remove little content, and mainly consists of undoing undeniable vandalism or fixing grammar, spelling, or formatting errors.
 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * 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).

 * If you happen to work with or are Espen Kraft, you need to disclose your conflict of interest on your user page.
 * If you are not affiliated with Espen Kraft, you can find instructions on how to write an article here. Following those instructions will result in an article that will not be rejected or deleted.  Failing to meet the same goals as those instructions will result in articles that will be rejected and most likely deleted. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:15, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
