WikiIslam:How to Edit: Difference between revisions

An [[WikiIslam:Writing better articles#Information style and tone|encyclopedic style]] with a [[WikiIslam:Writing better articles#Tone|formal tone]] is important: straightforward, [[WikiIslam:Summary style|just-the-facts]], instead of essay-like, argumentative, or opinionated. The goal of a WikiIslam article is to create a comprehensive and [[WikiIslam:Neutral point of view|neutrally written]] summary of existing mainstream knowledge about a topic. WikiIslam does not publish [[WikiIslam:No original research|original research]]. An encyclopedia is, by its nature, a [[tertiary source]] that provides a survey of information already published in the wider world. Ideally, all information should be [[WikiIslam:Citing sources|cited]] and [[WikiIslam:Verifiability|verifiable]] by [[WikiIslam:Reliable sources|reliable sources]]. Sourcing requirements are significantly stricter in [[WikiIslam:Biographies of living persons|articles on living persons]].
