A summary of important site policies and guidelines

• Wikipedia is not a general discussion forum, additions to talk pages should be about improving the article within the guidelines, not voicing one's opinion on the subject matter.
• "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from 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).
• Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.

All academic sources note that the Bavarian Illuminati failed to make it into the 19th century, let alone the 20th or 21st -- therefore, that is Wikipedia's stance on the matter. If you would rather start a blog elsewhere or join some other forum, you're more than welcome too. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
