| description | How to write an article on Wikipedia is a question that is relevant for many people who contribute to this reference web portal. The creators of Wikipedia have provided various sources from which you can find answers to the main questions. The authors of this study aimed to identify and analyze the main recommendations offered to users who write or edit Wikipedia articles. The results of the study suggest that the basic rules for writing and editing articles include the following: using information from published materials and avoiding personal ideas, opinions, considerations, reflections, dubious or unproven facts; using published materials from reliable independent sources that can be verified; presenting facts, interpretations, and theories without editorial sympathies or bias in order to achieve neutrality (a neutral point of view); and providing complete information covering all aspects that must be described proportionally according to their importance. The authors conclude that these rules are logical and reasonable and are best suited for amateurs who, without adequate knowledge and experience, aim to write acceptable reference content. |
