About Wikipedia
Anyone is allowed to add or
edit words, references, images, and other media here. What is contributed is more important than who contributes it. To remain, the content must be free of
copyright restrictions and contentious material
about living people. It must conform with Wikipedia's
policies, including being
verifiable against a published
reliable source. Editors'
opinions and beliefs and
unreviewed research will not remain. Contributions cannot damage Wikipedia, as its software allows easy reversal of errors, and many experienced editors
watch to ensure that edits are improvements. Begin by simply clicking the
Edit button at the top of any editable page!
Wikipedia differs from printed references in important ways. It is continually created and updated, with articles on new events appearing within minutes rather than months or years. Because everyone can help improve it, it has become more comprehensive than any other encyclopedia. In addition to the quantity of its articles, its contributors work on improving their quality, removing and repairing misinformation and other errors. Over time, articles tend to become more comprehensive and balanced. Because anyone can edit them, they may contain undetected misinformation, errors or
vandalism. Readers who recognize this can obtain valid information (see
Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia) and fix the articles.
