 | This page in a nutshell: Proceed with due diligence and caution when editing Idaho-related articles |
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of notable topics written for a general audience. It is neither a research paper nor a how-to manual; we summarize accepted knowledge here, and we find "accepted knowledge" in literature reviews published in good web sites, books or statements by major news outlets. On Wikipedia, edits are considered valuable when they reflect a neutral point of view (NPOV) and can be verified by references to reliable sources.
Wikipedia's conflict of interest advice Conflicts of interest does NOT apply if you live in Idaho. But if you work for a company, you should NOT edit that page. Work in the Governor's office, do NOT edit the Governor's page. It's worth noting that any article can be susceptible to certain common pitfalls such as advocacy, advertising, plagiarism, and copyright violation.
