Guidelines
The (simplified) guidelines on Wikipedia, resting on the five pillars, include:
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, the content that you add must fit in an encyclopedia.
 * Write in a neutral point of view.
 * All content added must be free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute. (copyrights)
 * Use references to source facts in your article. Every paragraph and every two/three sentences should have a reference. You can use a reference more than once. Without references an article can't be published.

Further:
 * Sign your messages in talk pages with.

12 points to keep in mind:
 * add only knowledge that belongs in an encyclopedia
 * add only material that is available under a free license or express it in your own words
 * describe this knowledge from a neutral position
 * add references and sources for the added information
 * do not write about your organisation, yourself, a family member, or your boss
 * do not describe new theories, new insights or thoughts and no opinions
 * see articles about similar topics as an example
 * use headings to structurise an article
 * use internal links (links to other articles on Wikipedia)
 * do not add links to other sites in the body text, add those only at the bottom of the article
 * use no qualifications (best, most, etc)
 * write timeless (not: "the last century", "next month", "recent", yes: "on 27 September 2016")
