Biography Wiki:Policies

Editorial Policies

Neutrality

All articles must be written from a neutral point of view, presenting facts and verifiable information without bias. Opinion, speculation, and promotional language are not permitted.

Sources

All claims must be cited to reliable, independent sources. Acceptable sources include:

• Major newspapers and magazines
• Peer-reviewed publications
• Court records and government documents
• Books from established publishers

Unacceptable sources:

• Press releases
• Self-published websites or social media
• Wikipedia (may be used as a starting point, not a citation)

Living Persons

Particular care is taken with articles about living people. Unsourced or poorly sourced negative claims about living persons will be removed immediately.

Conflict of Interest

Subjects, their employees, family members, or paid representatives may not edit articles about them. Suspected COI editing should be reported to an administrator.

No Original Research

Biography Wiki does not publish original research, investigative reporting, or analysis. We summarize and cite what reliable sources have already published.
