Wikipedia’s Five Pillars: Number 2

float

Wikipedia has a neutral point of view.

• Strive for articles that document and explain the major points of view in a balanced and impartial manner.
• Avoid advocacy and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them.
• In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in other areas we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context, and NOT presenting any point of view as "the truth" or "the best view".

Please note: All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy. That means citing verifiable, authoritative sources, especially on controversial topics and when the subject is a living person. Unreferenced material may be removed. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong here.
